On X (Twitter) lately, there have been a growing number of reports that in the [Following] timeline, posts from accounts you follow are being pruned, and some posts aren’t shown.

Pruning goes away just by doing this

The reason posts started being pruned in the Following timeline is that the Following timeline was split into two types: [Most recent] and [Popular].

Because the Following timeline is set to [Popular] by default, switching it to [Most recent] will make all posts show up.

  1. Open X and select the [Following] timeline

If it looks like posts are being pruned, it’s because X’s Following timeline was split into [Popular] and [Most recent], and [Popular] became the default.

By tapping the Following timeline and switching to [Most recent], all posts will be displayed without being pruned.

I've been using JavaScript more than my native language since birth. I am nowhere and everywhere on the internet.

I build web apps and browser extensions in TypeScript as a web frontend programmer. I released Shadowban Scanner, a tool that detects shadowbans on X, and Restore Link Card, a tool that brings back link cards. Media outlets in Japan and abroad covered both tools. For iGEM 2023, I built the Wiki for Team Japan-United and helped the team win the Grand Prize. On my blog, I cover news about X and social media, test and troubleshoot bugs, and share frontend development insights.
