Duolingo users are fed up with random strangers cluttering their feeds

Unwanted activity updates are burying friend milestones, driving learners to manually block unknown accounts daily.

Duolingo users are fed up with random strangers cluttering their feeds

Duolingo users are growing increasingly irritated with random individuals interrupting their personalized activity feeds, overshadowing their own achievements with updates from strangers. Frustrated learners are taking matters into their own hands by blocking suspicious profiles and flagging accounts as spam to declutter their activity tabs.

The demand for rudimentary feed filters and follow approvals to reclaim control over their social experience is on the rise. Despite Duolingo's history of implementing contentious platform modifications, it is their social feed design that is causing learners to lose their patience. Following widespread dissatisfaction with disruptive course updates that disrupted progress paths and introduced unfamiliar vocabulary, users are now confronted with another persistent issue: random strangers monopolizing their activity feed.

Reddit user EnoughConcentrate897 expressed their exasperation over their feed being inundated with 100-day streaks and sentence shares from unknown accounts, echoing the sentiments of many others.
