Say what a feed is
Read a feed and know why it is not in order.
A feed is the scrolling list of posts you see when you open a social app.
The order is chosen by the company, not the clock. It leads with whatever holds you.
Key points
- A feed is the scrolling list of posts from people you follow
- The company chooses the order, so the newest post is rarely first
What to remember
- Most apps keep a plain time-order view.
- The date under a post is the only order you can trust.
Try this
Open a social app and read the date under the top three posts.
