Newsfeed

I was wondering why they got rid of the needsfeed. I liked it and the people I have contacts with was easier to motivate each other.
Can it be brought back?

Apparently they thought it wasn't being used, but I don't recall seeing any user feedback surveys about it.

How would they know it wasn't being used though, absolutely ridiculous decision that they made. Now it is no longer possible to see friends' progress, nor for them to see mine. This app will fold, it is going downhill fast. Perhaps that's what they want......

I read a post stating you may be able to access the old newsfeed by logging into a desktop, but I haven't tried yet.

The newsfeed was one of the best parts of MFP.

I only use MFP on desktop, no it doesn't show any newsfeed, it has gone. I no longer log at all on it now, not food and drink or exercise.

MFP is a business. Maintaining the newsfeed comes with costs attached to server space/operation/maintenance, Computer programmer's salaries, and moderators. Since they arent attracting a bunch of new paying users or making enough ad revenue, they have to cut costs where they can.
If it makes anyone feel better- Cronometer doesnt have a newsfeed either.

Has anyone tried similar websites with a newsfeed? I need that encouragement and would love to know alternatives - although assume if you are reading this, they weren't any better!

I Miss the Newsfeed!!! I could get the encouragement, I Needed to get through a tough day. I feel, like I Don’t have the Support, I was getting. Please, bring back the Newsfeed!!

Why don't you all just post here instead. The newsfeed is not coming back. Nobody at MFP reads the Community. There are several ongoing threads here where people get support, start your own or join one of them.

Because I had friends who I was interested in their journey, and hopefully vice versa. I can't see how they are doing by reading here and it's not the same with people I haven't known for years. And also, because starting a thread about me feels a bit self-centered. I am not looking to blog.

Sadly it’s just not the same, so many changes over 9 years, altered beyond belief 😩
