    Apologies if this has been asked before, I couldn't find any mention.

    Is there anyway to edit who/what goes on my explore page. Thanks to me liking a fitness blogger I get suggested these awful photoshopped accounts. And the amount of stupid posed before and after shots is ridiculous.

    Edit: the fitness blogger I'd like to keep following. It's just the daft accounts with girls posting very filtered pictures of their arses and their lip fillers I'd like to remove.

    No idea here but I have the exact same issue!

    I follow one fitness person and I hate my explore page. I keep saying show less when they show me some random fitness person but it still happens

    Interested in replies

    I didn’t think the explore page was related to my likes at all tbh. Is it?

    Yeah it's based on your likes and who you follow.

    Oh, ok.

    TBH then it's probably just a case of a crappy algorithm. It's like on FB when I (a lesbian agnostic) get sponsored ads for Accord marriage courses. :confused:

    I'd like to skew the algorithm some how. I have a partial but time consuming fix. Click on the annoying posts, click on the 3 dots on the right and click 'see fewer like this' and click on the 'its not interesting ' option.

    I'm in the same boat! If I see more more effing pic of Instagram vs reality, I will scream. Everyone knows you get rolls of fat when you sit down, I don't need to see pics to confirm this. I am literally having the exact issue the OP has and it is driving me bonkers. I also get a ton of click bait-y make up videos.

    Yeah it happens to me too. Instagram is dominated by those fake-ass (literally) fitness types.

    Hitting the 3 dot menu and selecting show less does actually improve it. I've been doing that for awhile now and I just checked my Explore page. None of those fitness type posts :)
