Hi tech support! Please don't laugh at me for this, I'm old enough to be your mother and awful with tech.

When I search on insta it's started showing only one result at a time instead of a load of them but smaller. I get loads of lemmy memes from insta so it's making it far harder.

I googled and looked in settings and I can't see how to change it. Any ideas?

Probably an engagement thing so you can’t skip over the shit you don’t want.

Probably, since a few days I can't skip through stories either, and after opening comments it scrolls back to the top. It's getting to the point that I'll probably delete my account, what's the point of this website if you can't use it.

Because you are not the customer. You are the product on these platforms. You and your data is being sold to corporations who want to target you for ads.

Thats all these platforms are, ad spaces and data harvesting.

Best option is to delete your account and go somewhere not abusive.

Is there any way of changing it?

I wish I knew. I feel like Meta has been making their IP more difficult to use by making decisions for you.
