Thinking of cancelling and leaving mfp too. This was the worst idea they’ve ever had. Sick of all the glitches7

I've been playing with mynetdiary today. Loseit is not even close. While it seems the direct newsfeed of friends that we're losing here isn't well implemented, mynetdiarys spin on social interaction definitely works for me. Theres implementation of pictures, gifs and upvotes which are all missing on loseit. It's also a younger app, so we might even be able to get them to implement new features like the one we're missing. Add to this that it is smooth, not buggy like here, with an intuitive interface , and its arguably a superior platform. The only thing I personally dislike is the recipe creator not having a bulk add option, but that's relatively minor all things considered. I was iffy on loseit, but I will likely fully migrate here.
Heres the link to the group:

The forum groups trying to replace the News Feed completely misses the point of the filtered News Feed.
They move it so the users upset that the newsfeed is gone have trouble finding it!!4 -

THank you for the info and the invite...but I'm happy with Loseit. I have a great group of friends over there and we've settled in with Loseit. It is very sad that MFP took away the newsfeed but look at the resilience of all of us finding our way to stick together with our "PALS"4 -

There are currently 21 threads going about the newsfeeds! I may be missing some. 😮4 -

I started using MyNetDiary yesterday and am already enjoying the community aspect. It's probably going to take me a while to adjust to the logging though, as I've used MFP for so many years!
There's an MFP migrant group, too. @Spadesheart invited me, over there. Now I see them here. Hellooo! 😆1 -

Yep! Which seems underhand and doesn't do them any favours. I am a graduate of a health coach school who teaches about MFP in one of their modules. I'm going to be contacting the founders of said school about looking at alternatives to teach.4 -

It also keeps new posters from seeing the general unhappiness and upset (and links to competing platforms).4 -

It's not the only underhanded thing they have done. Alot of mfp users were giving google/apple reviews as 1 star the past month. Then all of a sudden "Developer Response" was commenting on all the 4 & 5 star reviews to bring them current and hide the bad reviews.2 -

That's obvious. Being exceptional we are more obese with more disposable income than any other market. Dupe-able too. We're number one!
And no letter "u" in color.
(obviously...sarcastic humour) <--see what I did there.

Or perhaps not as marketable in Europe because the database for the US is much more complete? I've had so many missing and wrong entries using the barcode scanner, certainly not worth paying for in my country.1 -

Strange and I don’t even feel
Like logging it in any more
Wahhhhhhh
I was bummed when I realized this wasn't haiku.
I used to play in the forums a lot before they took away the ability to see the last 3 posts your friends made. What's the point of adding "pals" now without a news feed? I thought about going to eatthismuch but I've spent so much time adding the things I eat to this database, the idea of having to do it all over again is just...ugh.1 -
Here's an off the wall question. Is it wrong to still send out friend requests?1

Why on earth 🌍 did you get rid of the news feed?!?!? That’s the only reason I actually have logged in here. You’re likely losing a whole lot of people and hence the revenue from any ads you post. It’s really not a smart move. Good luck with the whole thing then I guess lol.3

This exactly. I've already messaged my MFP friends that I am out - no reason to stick around without the news feed. It was the reason I logged in for many years. Sad day3
