The LinkedIn feed is the stream of posts on your homepage. It is not chronological: an algorithm ranks every candidate post for every member, based on predicted relevance.

How the feed ranks content

When you post, LinkedIn first classifies your content, then tests it on a slice of your network. Based on early signals (engagement, dwell time, comments), it either widens distribution to second and third degree connections or lets the post fade.

What this means for creators

• Your followers do not all see your posts: only a fraction gets the first test
• The first 60 to 120 minutes decide most of a post's fate
• Consistency teaches the algorithm who your content is relevant to
