Suggested posts appear because LinkedIn recommends content beyond the accounts you directly follow. You can give feedback on individual posts, unfollow recurring sources and refine the network signals that shape future recommendations.
Why suggested content appears
Professional networks would be quiet if feeds showed only posts written directly by close connections. LinkedIn therefore recommends posts that it predicts may be relevant based on network and activity signals.
Give precise feedback
Use the three-dot menu on the post and choose the most accurate available option. “Not interested” is more useful than interacting angrily with the post, which is still an interaction.
Distinguish a bad post from a bad source
One irrelevant recommendation does not always justify unfollowing an author. But if the same source repeatedly appears with little value, unfollowing addresses the pattern.
What you cannot fully control
LinkedIn decides which recommendation types are available and how much feedback changes future delivery. No independent cleaner can guarantee a permanent connections-only or chronological feed.
A ten-minute maintenance routine
- Mark isolated irrelevant posts.
- Unfollow two or three repeat sources.
- Review recently followed pages.
- Save or engage with one genuinely valuable post.
Frequently asked questions
Can I permanently turn off all suggested posts?
LinkedIn does not consistently offer every user a permanent setting that removes all suggestions. Available controls can vary over time.
Why do suggested posts return after I hide them?
Feedback on one post does not necessarily block the entire subject or recommendation category.
Does commenting that I dislike a post help?
It may still count as engagement. Use LinkedIn’s explicit feedback controls instead.
