X has made a small tweak to its algorithm. It now boosts visibility of posts to mutuals. These are people you follow who follow you back. Head of product Nikita Bier announced it on Monday. The team found the old setup made friends appear less in replies. This turned the reply section into more of a battleground filled with people you do not know. The update should make conversations feel more personal. It may also help clusters form around shared interests. This is something many users have asked for. The change comes as X rolls out other creator-friendly updates. These include better payouts for original content and a new video editor. Other platforms like Threads have made similar moves toward community building.
