X has made a “tweak” to its algorithm to increase the visibility of posts to users’ “mutuals” — the people they follow and who follow them, product manager Nikita Bier said Monday.

“We noticed that this data was missing from the algorithm and caused your friends to appear less in your answers. This resulted in the answers section looking more like a battlefield with people you don’t recognize.”

The change may not drastically improve the user experience of the site, but it may make X feel a little more like a community rather than a torrent of disparate voices shouting into the digital abyss.

Bier noted that the change would also “help form groups around interests more easily, something many people have asked for.”

X has introduced a number of changes lately, many of which seem designed to make the site a larger hub for creators. Earlier this year, the site changed the way it compensates accounts in an effort to incentivize original content rather than mere aggregation, and earlier this month it also introduced a video editor designed to make it easier for users to work on the platform.

This adjustment follows changes Meta’s Threads has been making to its algorithm aimed at building communities, largely as a differentiation from its main rival X. For example, last month Threads launched a Your Algo feature, which allows users to privately control what they see in their feed. It also reached 500 million monthly active users.
