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.

Hi ​@Clutsch,

it’s possible that those athletes mute their activities. If they do, you can see the activities in their profile, but not in the feed: 


You might also want to set your feed ordering to chronological - in the app, go to tab You > settings (gear wheel in the top right corner) > Preferences > Feed Ordering, and set to Latest Activities.

 


Thank you for your response. However I don't think the activities are muted. I have verified with one Strava user I'm following. Also, when I actively look at someone's profile and see activities, they often include photos and videos which wouldn't make sense if they're muted and they have also received several kudos, which I doubt are all from people who have separately looked at their feeds.

I have checked my settings and they are as you suggest, feed ordering by latest activities.


Hi ​@Clutsch, yet another option - there's some issue on Strava servers causing delays with activities appearing on the timeline. So if only recent activities aren't showing, it could be it:
