How to Medium: Fine-Tune Your Recommendations
Did you know you can control what stories you see on Medium?
You have a say in what stories and writers Medium recommends to you.
You can fine-tune your feed by clicking on your profile picture and then selecting “Refine recommendations.” Adjust the writers and publications you’re following. Remove stories from your reading history that don’t reflect the stories you typically want to read.
These are small changes that can have a big impact on the stories and writers we recommend to you.
To learn to write, you have to read. A lot. And when it comes to finding your readers on a platform like Medium, reading widely is a great way to get to know what resonates with readers, what writers you might be in conversation with, and what you appreciate as a reader — which can help you to develop what you do as a writer.
As a bonus, reading widely can also help you come up with new ideas for what to write about.
