Tune Feed

In this article

Tune Feed lets you decide what your Main Feed is made of. Your feed is not a single list chosen by Glubler. It is a mixture of four sources, and you control how much of each one you see using a slider.

You will find Tune Feed in Settings → Tune Feed.

You are tuning the mix of your feed, not switching between separate feeds. There is one feed, and your settings decide what fills it.

How Tuning Works

Each of the four sources has a checkbox and a slider:

The sliders always add up to 100 across the sources you have switched on, so you never have to make the numbers work out yourself. If you raise one slider, Glubler rescales the others to keep the total at 100. If you set every active slider to zero, Glubler divides the feed evenly between them instead.

What matters is the relative size of the sliders, not the raw number. A setting of 100 on one source and 0 on the rest means that source makes up your whole feed.

Turning a source off sets its slider to zero and removes it from the calculation entirely. Your choices are saved as you make them, so you do not need to look for a save button.

The Four Sources

Source What it brings into your feed
By Following Sites saved by people you follow or track
By Category Sites from topics you already spend time browsing
Most Glued The most saved sites across Glubler
AI Suggested Suggestions aimed at broadening what you see

By Following

FollowingSites that the people you follow have saved.

Glubler looks at the people you follow and the people whose public Glublers you track, then favours sites that those people have glued. Sites saved by someone you track are given full weight, and sites saved by someone you follow are given slightly less.

This is the source that makes your feed feel personal. If you follow people who curate carefully, their saves are worth a lot of space in your feed.

Note: This source only works if you actually follow or track people. On a new account with an empty following list, it will contribute very little until you start following.

By Category

CategorySites from the kinds of topics you have been spending time on.

Glubler keeps track of the categories you click and explore, and gives more of your feed to the ones you visit most. The more you browse, the stronger this signal becomes. Early on, when you have not browsed much, this source has little to work with.

If you have switched off a particular category in your interests, sites from that category are pushed down rather than removed completely, so you still see a little of everything.

Most Glued

Most GluedThe most saved websites on Glubler right now.

Every time someone glues a website, Glubler counts it. This source simply ranks by that count, so the sites that appear are the ones the most people have saved. Popularity is measured by saves, not by visits or views.

Note: Setting this slider to 100 turns your feed into a straight popularity ranking. It is the easiest way to reliably find sites worth saving, and the easiest way to stop discovering anything new.

AI Suggested

AI SuggestedSites chosen to widen what you see, rather than to confirm what you already like.

This source works against your habits. It favours sites from categories you have not explored yet, and sites that several other people saved in the past week. A small amount of randomness is mixed in so the same things do not appear every time you load your feed.

Raising this slider deliberately trades relevance for discovery. It will surface things you did not ask for, which is the point, but it is worth knowing that is what is happening.

Getting a Feed You Like

A few combinations that tend to work well:

Mostly people you know

Give By Following most of the slider, keep AI Suggested at a low value, and leave the other two off. Your feed becomes a reflection of the people you chose to follow.

Mostly finding new sites

Set Most Glued to 100 for a while. Once you have saved a few of those and followed some of the people behind them, bring By Following up so your feed starts following your own interests instead of the whole platform.

A balanced mix

Leave all four on at roughly equal values. You will get sites from people you follow, sites matching your browsing, popular saves, and a steady trickle of something unfamiliar.

Whichever mix you choose, give it a few days before judging it. The signals Tune Feed relies on, especially the category one, get better the more you use Glubler.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the percentages have to add up to 100?

No. Glubler handles that for you. The sliders are always rescaled so the enabled sources add up to 100, and only the ratio between them affects your feed.

Why did my other sliders change when I moved one?

That is the rescaling working as intended. Since the total must stay at 100, raising one source necessarily lowers the others. Only the relative sizes matter.

What happens if I turn everything off?

Your feed falls back to a general mix based on what is popular and being saved across Glubler, rather than being empty.

Does Tune Feed affect the rest of Glubler?

No. It only affects your Main Feed. Your Glublers, your searches, and the content you see elsewhere are not changed by these settings.

Will my feed change completely after I retune it?

Your next visit will be noticeably different, especially if you change one slider a long way. Glubler rebuilds the feed from your settings each time rather than keeping a fixed order, so expect the ordering to shift between visits.

Why does By Category seem to do nothing at first?

Because it has nothing to learn from yet. It is based on the topics you have actually been browsing, so on a new account it stays quiet until you have spent some time exploring.
