[wip]

Has there been a change to the 'dismiss' function in the 'include followed tag posts' feature? Where in the past a dismissed post might show up after a few weeks or so, lately it seems to only dismiss a post for the current dash view, with the dismissed post more often than not popping up again the next time the dash is refreshed.

I dismiss posts either because I do not want to see the content in the highlighted post or because I'd like to see something new from the tag. Right now both outcomes are impossible as I keep getting served the same posts constantly despite dismissing them. If I visit the tag itself, it's clear that there are plenty of new posts being added, so it's not a question of there being no new posts to highlight!

This seems to be a continuous problem with any dismiss function on this site (dismissing recommended blogs seems to be a placebo function, too). This makes the label of the function v. its outcome completely at odds and quite confusing to both seasoned and new users alike. Is there any way to get the dismiss function to do what it implies it should do: dismiss the recommended post or blog from being recommended completely?

Answer: Hello, @queen-mabs-revenge!

Thanks for getting in touch with this. We believe this might be a bug, so we are running some tests to try and get to the bottom of it. We will be back in touch as soon as we have any updates for you—keep an eye here, on WIP, and over at @changes for news.

Hopefully we will have an update for you before long.

Best,

This year, mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a letter. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize. Try to understand. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love and then speak it again.

I like blue roses from you & red ones from Aaron, he is six foot two & in finance. You are just a character that I made up in my head, I want to be in reality.
