Algorithm excludes certain people's activities

Why on earth does Strava choose FOR me whose activities I see and whose I don't see? It's happened several times now where I'm certain I follow certain people but their activities never show up in my feed and other people's activities I see all the time. When I go to the profile of those whose activities I NEVER see I can perfectly clearly see all their activities so they're not hidden. Can Strava please stop putting algorithms on this? If those becomes another Facebook I will lose all interest in this platform.

Feedback on: New Mobile App Interface for Activities (bad UI decisions)

My opinion: There are some poor UI choices in the updated Activity viewing interface on the Android app (February 2025 update). This is the interface you see when you click on an activity in your feed.1) Half the screen, upon clicking, is Strava’s terrible default map (and not the map chosen by the user, e.g. “Dirt”, etc). Photos should be the key attraction. Photos are what make people click an activity. The new interface hides the most interesting feature and it replaces with Strava's WORST POSSIBLE MAP OPTION (my opinion). This “default map”, which takes up half the page, should either be updated or killed. It shows ALMOST NOTHING USEFUL. No town names, no surface types (dirt vs pavement), no scale bars or mileage markers to indicate distance. It's just a route shape with little meaningful context -- and takes up half the screen in this view. Clicking the map... Gives almost nothing extra. You get town names, but no other useful context. For instance, if I chose DIRT as

Strava should cease changing data

Strava’s notion that their version of recorded power data is better is just silly. And it seems to be getting worse.I use this platform as I would a journal of my activities. And it shouldn’t be subject to interpretation. Why Strava thinks it knows better than the actual device doing the recording is mystifying.For my ride today, Strava lowered the actual average power by a full ten percent, and normalized power by thirteen percent.They should just abandon this practice, especially for people who are uploading ACTUAL data.

Home Trainer (Rouwy) users claiming KOMs

Hi there,This is my first post here. I just realised that Rouwy users are now able to be ranked in KOM leaderboards.And, well… My hometown is home of two cobble sectors of Paris-Roubaix (four and five-stars respectively). I was a bit surprised to see that some “random” user of Rouwy was claiming KOM on the combined segment of the hardest of them two and the next cobble sector over Tadej Pogacar 🙃. And the same user was quite high in the classification on the four-star one. Power outputs (for the ones available) being quite far the ones from the first pros.I mean, yes, Rouwy *might* be accurate on asphalt, but on cobbles, I highly doubt it.I fear that this might alter the sincerity of the KOM leaderboards.Cheers !

Club Owner Cannot Post "https://communityhub.strava.com" Links

Dear Strava CommunityThanks to Strava for relaxing third party links in Bios and Posts. I am owner of a Strava Running Club www.strava.com/clubs/rcucrc, but members are multi-sport. Membership requested that we swap to Multi-sport, but we need Strava to expand multi-sport leader boards to show running, cycling and fitness etc separately.Our community post for that got rolled into this post: - We tried to share this Strava “https” link with the club membership, so they could upvote it, but the club post was blocked with a message ‘try later’. I discovered if this link was removed, the post uploaded.Why does Strava block its own “https” links?Thank you. Respectfully,Pierre

Sharing rides to FB

Wasn’t sure where to ask this, so forgive me if it’s not the right place. I occasionally like to use the share to facebook feature for a ride, and in the past it would post showing a small map of the ride as well as some data (miles, speed, accomplishments). Lately though, it only displays a link, with no info. I’m not sure why, as I hadn’t changed anything. I see my friends shared rides still appearing the same, so I’m not sure why mine are different.

how to change back to email/password login from the One Time Login code

I somehow clicked okay to move to use of a one-time password to log in, but it is less convenient and requires more steps. how do I switch back? There is no longer an option to change password in settings, only change email -- and I want to keep the same email.Thanks

Unable to add links/URLS to posts /URLs stripped out in comments

What happened with URLs? Looks like URLs are being automatically removed from posts, so it's being a little bit more complicated to share for example Strava Challenges from clubs with friends.

Upholding platform safety

Strava Community -Recently our team has been dealing with a sustained campaign of inauthentic content posted to the platform and as a result we have taken certain necessary steps to safeguard the community. One of the many measures we have taken is filtering links across multiple app surfaces. This was necessary to protect the community from harmful and violating content. We recognize that this has impacted many of you. We are also aware that non-links were inadvertently included in this filtering and we apologize for the disruption this has caused.Community safety is our highest priority, and we will take any action necessary to protect them. As this is an ongoing situation, we do not currently have a timeline for when the filtering of links will end, but we appreciate the community’s patience as we work to keep everyone on Strava safe.We apologize for the inconvenience and we thank you for your patience. You can check back here at any time for additional updates.

Share image now being cropped to 16:9 portrait

Up until recently, when I shared a run, the image with stats would retain its aspect ratio. This seems to be no longer the case (in the last week).For example, here is my latest run, ready to share; However, when I post or even save the image, it is cropped to the portrait aspect ratio. This has only happened recently, as I have been sharing in the same way every time. Can anyone shed any light on this?
