How About We Don't Delete Newsfeeds

This is the first time I found the new “newsfeed”! I’ve been a premium member for over 10 years who will be moving to lose it unless they change it back!3
-
Have been a paying the $100 (AUD) premium membership for years and put up with alot of the 'upgrades' over the time but removing the feed is a massive downgrade.
To then promote a 10 step workaround and not even get the same experience is laughable.
Have taken my membership off auto renew and will let it transition into a ghost account like the rest of them.
Will check out netdiary and lostit.
Please post any other alternative sites here.

My daughter and I are both allowing our premium memberships to non-renew as well. Several people have told me they are going to the “Lose It“ app, which has a feed that was similar to MyFitnessPal previous feed. When I asked the helpdesk, the gentleman said that not many people use that feed. I don’t think that’s accurate2

🤣🤣🤣🤣 come over to Lose it. There’s plenty of support and a newsfeed that everyone loves. @jeffhendershot1

Yeah, soooooooo few people used that feed that we're still seeing multiple posts a day mentioning it, even two months out since the change. Clearly it was a decision rooted in customer service <eye roll>.4 -

This. 🫡☝️ So few that we have hundreds of posts about it, numerous ongoing threads, massive reviews on App Store, an MFP exodus group on Lose it and the most amount of upvotes I’ve ever seen on a thread. And counting.

who else got a questionnaire about the community section and its benefits (or lack thereof)? The questionnaire gave me the feeling that the community section might be on the chopping block….3

I did, a few weeks ago I think.1 -
Just adding my voice to the rest here. Thoroughly disgusted with MFP. Been a premium member for years but won’t renew now and won’t ever recommend it again. Removing the newsfeed and all of our blogs makes it a complete waste of space. I’m heartbroken that I’ve lost my blog with no warning and I’m devastated that I just can’t catch up with friends easily any more. Not fit for purpose. I’m gone.7

No questionnaire. But neither did they ask for opinions from everyone before axing the newsfeed.3

@daria0909 - I was surprised to see the barcode scanner free on Lose it too.0 -

If they get rid of community section, I'm gone. There will be no reason to stay. I'm just now finding some of my previous newsfeed friends in the community threads!1 -

While certainly not exhaustive, of the three or four calorie counting sites I've checked out, only MFP charges for the barcode scanner.1 -

oh *kitten*, really?

If the community section goes I will probably go the only thing keeping me here now is a few challenges I belong to or….. are those on the chopping block as well???
The whole purpose of MFP is support but it’s starting to lack at least I have kept my Lose It going and the bar scanner is free imagine that2 -
Big mistake not to come up with something equivalent to the news feed. Community IMHO isn’t even close. Now I just use MFP to track. After losing Sparkpeople & now your news feed just not in the mood.8
-
Whole thing makes me sick. Have 4000 streak and honestly no one to share it with most mfp friends have left and the community pages are not the same. The news feed was personal to each one of us !! You guys need to bring it back !! Mfp has become nothing more then a calorie tracking app.10
-
We need the newsfeed back !!3
-
I recently wandered back to MFP as I still use it to check in on certain friends to see how thye're doing. I thought I was in a different app because of all the ads and the lack of the feed. MFP has removed a large part of the Pal from their name and I don't know that I'll be back again to jump through the hoops I need to to be able to see what few friends are still active on this site might be.2

Hi y’all, Wanted to first acknowledge that saying good bye to any feature is hard, and I too am sad to see the Newsfeed ride off into the sunset. I do feel strongly that social interaction is important for a lot of folks on what can often be a lonely and difficult journey and having friends cheering you on can make a difference.
I’ll be transparent that the Newsfeed was one of our oldest features that had many flaws and was no longer sustainable to support. While it was not used by many we understand that it’s a real loss for those who used it.
While it is not perfect, due to some limitations like no friend or follow features in the Community, our team enabled the Community Activity Feed on profiles within the community as it was an existing feature available from our forum providers. Some of you may even remember seeing it briefly back in 2021 when we updated the Community.
The community profiles only have two options Public or Private, and the Private option makes the Activity Feed unviewable by others. The next best alternative to utilizing the Activity Feed would be to create a Private Group to invite your friends to and interact with them there.
I know these options don’t “replace” the Newsfeed by any means, but we hope they help give some members some options to interact with others outside of topic driven discussions.
Is the Community Activity Feed visible in the mobile app?
Can we get notifications when friends update their activity feeds?0 -
Is there even anywhere in the "Community" section where you can see the Friends list or filter activity by Friends?0
-
You can look at the activity feeds on the app by going through the Community, but no notifications when friends post on their feeds and you need to manually look them up one by one. (The friend list also isn't available directly in the Community)1

Sooo - useless then?? Who is even checking. What a rigmarole.3 -
yeah I kept my current friends but I can see many of them have flown the coop for other aps. I get a few friend requests now and then but I am not sure of the point?5
-
I'm sure this has already been said but I miss the newsfeed/friend's activity log. It was such a source of inspiration/ motivation and accountability. The change in the app was most certainly not for the better. I feel more "lonely" than ever on this journey. The community discussions boards are not app friendly and are full of more "fluff" than anything.
*sigh* gonna have to look into mynetdiary or lose it because I can't keep doing this.7 -
Come over to lose it. I remember you from mfp.
@RunnerGirlTX6142 -
Just wondering how is lose it?1
-
“Not used by many”… I’ve heard that line before but virtually EVERY one of my friends used it. “Not sustainable”… what does that even mean? With all the customers departing and reviews falling behind your competitors, you might want to do a deeper dive that this is the customer experience you really want to deliver!4
