Ya sometimes I go too far in scrolling the feed and it automatically starts scrolling up and if I keep scrolling down then it just blanks out

I take it as a message from the grapevine gods asking me to 'get a life'

It's not shite when it comes to the amazing community, but the tech and app could be little better

@cristiano7 I agree - the community is def better than the app 🙈

P.S: "Can't post anything with a photo" due to network error

I'm also getting the same error. Also, suddenly, I can now see the comments of users I've blocked and keep getting notifications for them. What is the point of blocking someone then?

Sorry @cristiano7 @tzr we’ll try to be better 🥶

Analyst

I can't post anything due to "network error" and discovery of interesting posts is just bad. I see the same post everyday

Welcome to NEW LinkedIn, where professionals go to get distracted
- Because nothing says "professional networking" like knowing that out of my 30K connections, 48 have played Queens in the last hour. Exactly the vital information I needed today. And it's so comforting to know my boss not only sucks at setting my KPIs but also sucks at LUDO (oh wait.. they dont have LUDO, but you get the point). Say Yes to LinkedIn Games : because what better way to showcase your professional skills than competing in virtual board games. Maybe next we’ll have a LinkedIn Queens Champion title to boost your profile visibility and job hunt next?
- AI Post Ideas – Original thoughts? Nah, let the algorithm tell me what to think. Can’t wait for the ‘Inspirational Monday Motivation’ template. Because originality is overrated, right?
- LinkedIn Shorts – because TikTok isn’t enough. Now I can document getting laid off in 30-second clips. ‘Watch me scream at my boss in high definition!’ And the best part? When the boss yells at an employee, we can record that too! Coming soon: "Live from the pantry" and "Breakout room drama" LiEmploymentTV is the new reality TV 

What are the new features in pipe: Kundli and Tarot? 
- LinkedIn Horoscopes: Today’s forecast: Your connection requests will be ignored. Better luck tomorrow!
- LinkedIn Tarot Readings: The cards say stop pretending to enjoy team-building exercises
- LinkedIn Karaoke: Here's a hip hop base track to sing your resignation letter
- LinkedIn Pet Profiles: Cause your cat deserves a professional network too
- LinkedIn Cooking Shows: Cause you are more than your current role
- LinkedIn Meditation Sessions: Your mind needs it own Calm
- LinkedIn Matchmaking: We solved for the jobs, now lets help you find love with someone equally networked

Meta shutting down workplace really dint teach you anything???
To the PMs at LinkedIn – Thanks for teaching us - What not to do when and how.

Remember when LinkedIn was the place to get work done?

Currently I am discovering gv. I am loving it. You don't get doxxed(🤞) + you get to chat and converse with others like it's a WhatsApp group. 
Kinda love this. 
Is this just me? or 👀
If so, then what is the idea of social media. To bring more people to a platform or make it a limited area where you don't get to be toxic and making the space enjoyable

Grapevine

the UX on Grapevine has been sucking for a while. any reason why?

Thank God! We have Grapevine ❤️ because LinkedIn makes me 🤢🤮

Hit ❤️ if it’s true: because I got saved from a 🚩 company that got “Best Places to Work” award 💀

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

whenever I try to open grapevine it's lagging for the last 6-7 days. I reinstalled and changed networks to check as well. even the otp took 2 mins to reach me before login.

why is grapevine lagging?

Product Owner

Instead of interesting gossip and topics, Grapevine is increasingly becoming home to ranting and complaining. Soon there will more cringe on it with more whining posts. My post is also a whining post.

Should grapevine change its name to grapewhine or groupwhine.

I generally keep it at recent so all new posts are on my feed
But now it is mandatorily shifting to Popular

I don't want to see old posts, show me new 😭

Grapevine forcefully shifting my feed to Popular

Grapevine devs :) please fix the search and alerts section

Why is Grapevine home page loading by default to “sort by popular” posts? 🧐😊

Hey Folks, 
On the onset , I would like to welcome all the new members who joined Grapevine over last few days. Grapevine is a nice platform and I really hope all of you will enjoy great conversations and viewpoint on this community .

Now to the point why gatekeeping might become essential : I heard some days back , a good man on YouTube posted a video telling his fans about this awesome community. That is why you might have seen outburst of ‘ this is a nice platform ‘ posts on Grapevine. They also thank him in the body of the post xD. Honestly , I am fed up of this non sense posts And my timeline is already cluttered due to this.

Now his followers will start highjacking the community. Right now , this being a professional platform , the posts were interactive and decent to read. Now don’t be surprised if you see posts irrelevant to the community. I remember same thing happening with r/developersIndia community some years back and right now , that sub is kinda dead and have repetitive kind of questions which can easily be found if you have taken the effort to search for the posts.

Secondly, I won’t be surprised in case their is a difference of opinion with the Guru , people or his followers will start you bashing left , right and centre. 

I know this post sounds rude and entitled since everyone should have fair opportunity in life , but definition of fair varies as well. 

I’m very interested in knowing the POV of everyone involved here - may be I am over thinking. But would appreciate your thoughts on this .

Should Grapevine community gatekeep the posts now onwards ?

Software Developer

When I was a kid I dreamt of becoming a software engineer, because I was told software engineers are always in front of their computers. Little me thought that I could play Pinball all the time.

But after I became an engineer a couple of years ago, I found myself not even getting enough time to play. Sad life...

Recently I realised, I've been playing Pinball all the time. The launcher which kicks you in the butt is known as the HR.

The two flippers in the bottom which keep on kicking you are manager and team lead. The side drums which gives shocks to you, are senior developers.

The switches that you toggle in the top, are the interns. And the worm hole which you enter, stay for a while and come back with more speed? That's called a long weekend. That is rare.

Enjoy the corporate game of Pinball my friends!

Software Engineering is a game of Pinball

Everything is loading for me feed, post, comments. I’ve checked my internet, it is working fine.

Is grapevine down 😱

After scrolling some posts the screen will get stuck in a infinite loop of showing the same posts it will never show the next one, and after a while it just goes blank with nothing on screen

Grapevine IOS App is really bad

Computer operator

Is it just me or there has been a sudden surge of activity on grapevine? Posts are getting more comments.

Grapevine Active users

That’s it. I haven’t found a news app which is so freaking on point. It’s like they say, you won’t know what greatness is until you see it. 

The options to read news in different format 🤌🏾

Grapevine news is just f*cking lovely!

While I get that the app still looks very on brand, can’t help but feel how impractical and unoptimised the homescreen has become. 

30% of the first fold used for an illustration nobody can recall, even if they open the app 10 times a day. (You can try recalling now and see what i mean)

Minor, but the icons seem to have mixed stroke weights and an unnatural blend of sharp and round corners. 

Perhaps adding a “check bank balance” button on the first fold will he useful since this is a payment app and all. No point hiding it somewhere else. 

Currently, the People section precedes the Businesses section. Once a user taps on the down arrow on people, the list expands to multiple folds and it becomes extremely tiresome to scroll all the way down to collapse the section to access the rest of the page. 

Instead, why not have tabs for People and businesses, side by side. The tab could have a search button within it to easily find contacts. Currently, the search button is all the way on the header and disappears on scroll.

Showing photos and business of people is certainly helpful, but why not make a table that has a card that shows the profile pic, the last payment you sent to them, when you sent it and even a CTA for quick pay. Currently one needs two taps to pay someone. 

Bills can have better prominence somewhere on a difference section and could even use an floating bar type of component that shows up towards the bottom of a screen when bills are due. (Similar to what swiggy uses to show “your food is being prepared”) It might remind a user that certain bills are due in X days

And by god use the rest of the page to show the user some stats on how they spent money. I for one would consistently use the app that showed me my spending breakup. Tell user they spent x% more on food this month, compared to last or some such. 

And throw the offer & promotion section away. Its not 2018. Aint nobody playing games on here either.

Anyone else think google pay needs a major redesign?

Sorry but I don’t make the rules

I have been on grapevine for some months now and this is the best community building app I have ever seen I can talk my heart out and the people here actually come out to support and share their journey and experiences as well. Hats off to the founder who has made grapevine

Love grapevine. This is the best community I have found to actually talk my heart out, it’s like grapevine and the people who are using grapevine have become my go-to people when it comes to sharing my life and career or anything.

Ngl grapevine is becoming shite
