Share meaningful stories with readers who trust you
|
We developed reposts as a way for readers to share the stories that move you. Medium is full of stories that make you chuckle, consider something from a different perspective, or teach you something new. We want readers to have more ways to bring those stories to light. Our recommendation system is pretty good at matching stories to your interests, but we know that more and more readers want to get story recommendations from people they know and trust. I’ve experienced this myself already—while we were testing the feature, we opened up a temporary Slack channel for staff members to repost stories into. I got to read stories that never would have crossed my feed, like one about making yourself uncomfortable on purpose, or about the fate of a car designed for women, by women), or about how to worldbuild a fantasy economy. But I know and trust my coworkers, so I gave them a shot and I loved those stories. Note: if you see your story already has reposts from before we launched the feature, that means one of our staff members saw your story and wanted to share it more widely! Thank you for writing that story.

You may already be used to seeing a touch of human-led curation across your home feed lately. When someone in your network claps for a story or highlights it, it can cause that story to show up in the home feed recommendations:

Right now, reposting a story does the same thing. It’s a simple way to share stories with your Medium community. Readers have also asked for more ways to catalog and come back to stories you love. Now, you can use your activity tab and filter to your reposted stories to see any stories you’ve reposted to your community.

Today, more writers are writing on Medium than at any other point in time during Medium’s history. We want to bring more ways to make sure those stories are finding their readers. Expect more to come to reposting as we continue working on better ways to bring delightful, thoughtful, meaningful stories to readers through as many different channels as possible. In the meantime, we can’t wait to see what stories you most enjoy reposting.
