LinkedIn limited posts to connections; updating the app fixed it

thanks again Ian. LinkedIn Help advised that this is happening with other LinkedIn users as well.

LinkedIn is constantly tweaking its algorithms, and it can be maddening figuring out what they are doing.

for years I was a volunteer moderator on Oilpro, which had over 1 million registered members, and was known as "the LinkedIn of the oil industry".

I am fully aware of what posts and comments should be restricted or deleted, such as calls for violence or openly threatening words.

Rarely would I delete posts or comments even when they clearly violated forum rules - usually I would leave them up and add a moderator note that this was not allowed, and this is an object lesson in what *not* to write, so other users were aware.

Although I instantly deleted spam posts and comments.

Anyway, to my knowledge, I have not violated any forum rules here.

seems that way ...

Thanks Patrick Ng'oma, Jr. Now I'm just waiting to find out what is going on with the throttling.

not sure what you are talking about 🤔

hopefully it is just some bug that can be resolved soon.

Thanks Victor Pinamonti, good to know.

I have randomly been checking some of my earlier posts from this week, and apparently that restriction warning is currently being added to *all* of my previous posts.

Including this post.

Weird.

Screencap of this post right now, and you can see your comment at the bottom of the screenshot.

heh heh thanks. Always happy to get feedback from readers : )

Screencap just now that my most popular post in the last 365 days is apparently now throttled as well.

It has 269,000 views, 600 likes, and 290 comments.

Apparently, *all* of my posts are now throttled, and only viewable by my connections.

Perhaps the information popup box is just a glitch?

Here is the link to that post, perhaps anyone who is *not* one of my connections would care to check if they can access the post?

No worries, this is not clickbait, and I already have plenty of likes on the post.

I'm just trying to figure out if the popup information box is wrong.

hopefully, just a glitch. It's apparently affecting other LI users as well.

thanks for the info, much appreciated. It's a weird glitch though.

The LinkedIn Help team will update me, they have helped me before in the past, and they *do* have a sense of humor.

I've tagged the LinkedIn Help team before in some of my humorous posts, and they have responded with some humor.

I'm pretty open about what I post here, whether serious or absurd humor. I have no intention of preventing others from seeing my posts.

For decades I've been a Freedom of Speech activist, so it would make no sense that I would restrict views of my posts to only my connections.

Heck, I actively try to infect anybody who will listen with my ideas.

good to know. If this notification is just a software update glitch, I hope LinkedIn (and LI's parent company Microsoft) can fix this glitch at some point.

good luck in your search for overseas work, hope you can find something suitable which you love to do.

heh heh, different countries have different cultures and norms. Just be yourself and you should do fine anywhere you go : )

no worries, AI and I work well together.

Thanks Conrad E. Archer
