Your Algorithm is Broken? Here’s How to Fix It

Estimated Reading Time: [ 3 minutes ]

Your algorithm isn’t broken, it’s just reflecting your habits.

Fix it by:

• Muting content that isn’t relevant
• Engaging with people & posts in your niche
• Showing up where your audience already is
• Staying consistent so the algorithm works for you

The more intentional you are, the better your content performs.

A few weeks ago, a small business owner messaged me in frustration:

Sound familiar?

Here’s the truth:

Your algorithm is only as good as your engagement habits.

If you’re not seeing the right content, or your posts aren’t getting in front of the right people... it’s time to readjust your algorithm.

Let’s fix it.

Step 1: Audit Your Current Feed

Your feed isn’t showing you random content, it’s showing you what you’ve trained it to show.

If your timeline feels “off,” it’s because of who you’re interacting with (or not interacting with).

Do this Today

Scroll your feed. If a post isn’t relevant to your business, mute or unfollow that account.

This tells Threads what NOT to prioritize.

Step 2: Train the Algorithm to Work for You

Threads learns from your engagement patterns.

If you want better content in your feed, you have to engage with better content.

Do this Today

Spend 10 minutes engaging with:

• People in your niche
• Ideal customers or potential buyers
• Accounts posting content you want to see more of

The more you engage with relevant posts, the more Threads will show them (and similar ones) to you.

Step 3: Boost Your Own Visibility

Want your posts to reach more of the right people? You need to show up where they are.

• Join active conversations: Comment on trending or niche-specific threads.
• Follow & engage with ideal customers: Many will check out your profile & follow back.
• Post after engaging: This increases the chances of your content getting immediate traction.

Do this Today

Before posting your next thread, engage with 10-15 people first.

This "warms up" the algorithm and increases your reach.

Step 4: Be Consistent (Because One Fix Won’t Last)

Algorithms adjust daily based on your activity. If you’re inconsistent, your reach will be too.

The key? Regular engagement + regular posting = a well-trained algorithm.

Do this Today

Set a daily habit: 10 minutes of engagement before posting.

Do this for a week and watch your feed (and reach) transform.
