I don't know about anyone else, but I basically never use my feed. Sometimes I'll go to check it out and the only thing I'll see is someone updating a super old game to like, change the price or description or something. I feel like something else needs to be done with it for it to have any use. Ideas:

-change it so its more of a feed of new games--you can still follow people, but you only get notifications if they have made a new game or they like a game or add it to their playlist or something.

-make the feed appear on the homepage in some capacity. maybe recommended games would be games from your feed?

if you have other ideas feel free to post them here.

even removing it would be fine with me, between this forum and the randomizer and recommended games i basically get everything i want from itch.io anyways.

There's an option on your feed page to only see new games. Otherwise, the itch.io feed is a lot like Twitter: its usefulness depends on who you follow. And it's not like the feed gets in your way if you don't use it...

I like the idea of putting it on the homepage (I experimented with this at some point but didn't get something I liked). I definitely want the homepage to be less about the content we feature and more about creators your interested in, along with related developers.

As for for your feed in particular, I understand your problem. Not sure what the best solution is, but following more people should definitely help. Maybe in the future we'll do something like tumblr where our recommendation engine inserts events from other people into your feed and you can follow them if you like what you see.
