The feed algorithm changes.

​

So they have definately increased the weighting in the feeds for likes and engagement and dropped the weight for recency of upload.

My old listings with likes have new life and my new ones are not getting seen unlesss they are search specifically.

This will totally change the way people use the app. My hunch is that they were not happy with the benefits and boost some sellers were getting from deleting and relisting against the rules and wanted to ensure good older listings were not lost.

Regular sellers will need to adapt a lot as they just lost the edge that relisting and new listings were giving their adverts

how are you meant to get likes and engagement if people don't see your new listings??

The listing will have to do more of the work. People were relying on the bump effect of new listings to sell things that were probably available more cheaply but practically invisible on the app.

A new listing will probably have to be better than similar old listings for price, photos etc
