Social Media Scrambling - May 26th 2022, 07:53 PM

Ok, so I am not sure exactly what this term is or if it's been thoroughly researched yet. But what I mean by "social media scrambling" is that you open up one of your Social Media accounts — typically Facebook and Instagram — and you get posts from 10+ days ago.

Why does this happen? Does it happen to anyone else? Do you find it annoying?

I find it a little insensitive too, considering this might be happening to others.

(Enough said.)

I think the max I’ve gotten was posts from 3-4 days ago. I’m not sure why it’s happened but it makes it awkward to comment on an old post or frustrating that I’m just seeing something now or already have seen it.

There are a couple of reasons I can think of - It's become a popular post (might be because it's received recent likes/comments) or because the algorithms can't find anything better to show you instead.

A few things you could try:
  • Check your settings, a lot of sites have filters like "show most popular", "show most recent", "show everything", "show less posts like this" etc. You can often change how individual people/pages are displayed, but also check your overall feed settings to see how posts are being shown for you.
  • Consider following more pages, e.g. other things you want to see, which will give more 'options' for the algorithm to choose from.
  • Often sites will prioritise things you have interacted with in the past, for example if I like a couple of posts by one person or page, suddenly I see all their posts in my feed. You can counter this by either liking other posts elsewhere or not liking anything at all!
The algorithms really aren't great, it's basically trying to figure out what it thinks you want to see.

The most helpful posts are the ones that tell you about an event that has already passed.

Happens to me on Facebook, but it's not as often anymore. At most I see 2 day old posts, so never bothered to change anything.

Happened to me a few times, I think these are the posts that I did not see but friends posted them. Actually, it is very hard to understand Instagram and tik tok algorithms since they do not publish them anywhere.

"Social media scrambling" refers to the issue of social media platforms showing out-of-order posts, where the most recent content is not displayed at the top of the feed. This can result in users seeing posts from several days or even weeks ago, making it difficult to keep up with the latest content. There are several reasons why this can happen, including changes to the platform's algorithms, network or server issues, or a problem with the app itself. It can be frustrating for users who are trying to keep up with the latest content and connect with friends, family, and others on social media. However, this issue is not unique to a specific platform or user and can happen to anyone using social media. It can also be a big problem for people who use social networks not only to keep in touch with friends but also for business. Edit
