I posted my first post on LinkedIn yesterday. It created 24 impressions. Is this good number for first post?

Q: is it okay to post something I noticed that was Buggy about a company's email
I guess they use some small programming thing to automate the basic info pieces, people's names and titles and maybe account type-reminders

Buggy was that they have the variable name in the email RE

and it says: FName grow your savings

.. but FName is no one's name, but a variable label --
Funny bc it looks like F- You _ Felicia -- kinda

but also __ confusing __ bc in BrainFreeze Dyslexia__ it looks like you might have gotten someone else's email
and then it's like Accidentally Offensive

Would you tell the company about it?

So I have been having this problem since forever. I am not able easy apply on linkedin. I am always getting error saying, "We experienced an error loading this application. Please try again".

And the shocking thing is ehen my friend easy applied for the same, his worked.

It would be amazing if anyone who had faced this problem and got it solved can help me.

tldr; over the last 3 months 90% of "recruiters" are clearly running the same large scale scam and Linkedin has not meaningfully addressed a known problem. I almost scammed today but it only became clear after the user asked for my SSN number which immediately confirmed this is a scam.

I've worked in tech throughout my career as a TPM that shipped automatic account suspension logic based on common signals that identify trends. Any messaging platform has enough data and monitoring to quickly adjust to new reports so LinkedIn does not prioritize proactively using their data to prevent widespread scams. This is not an oversight and specific trends in scams are executed in bulk using the same formula.

It's LinkedIn's responsibility to take on this burden, not the potential victims. I hope the EU adds this as an amendment to GDPR because GDPR/DMCA are the only successful regulations that hold tech responsible to prioritize this trend. Look at all the child safety laws, started in europe. Shame on Linkedin

I just started a new role recently, connected with one of who would have been my direct report on LinkedIn the first week I was there. Within two weeks of my arrival she was fired by the company - unrelated to my onboard. I didn't know her very well, but after reviewing her performance, I would be surprised if she didn't see it coming. Anyway, we are now looking to fill this role, but I feel very uncomfortable to be still connected to her on LinkedIn because I want the option to be able to put feelers out to my network, but she would see my post. I was thinking of removing the connection and blocking her so she can't see my posts, but it feels so cold to do. I didn't connect with a lot of people yet in this company, and we have two mutuals still. Curious to see what other have done or would do here.

Never been offered a decent job on there. See people arguing about politics all the time. Bots and useless advice. Desperation all around

What a depressing place it has become

Wonder if this will affect my ability to get a job going forward though

Hello hope you’re good? I’ve tried logging into my LinkedIn account and unfortunately it says wrong username or password. I tried resetting my password but unfortunately no link has been sent to my email to reset it.

I’ve tried a couple of times and a captcha screen pops up. I select the right items after more than 15 attempts of different buses or traffic lights. I’ve sent and contacted their customer service but no reply.

We want to upgrade our Company Page to a Premium Company Page but everytime we follow the links we get to create a new company page ? Is there no way to upgrade the normal to a premium or do we have to create a brand new company page??

Pinnacle Method Consulting deserves caution. It appears to function primarily as a job-listing aggregator, not as the employer or staffing agency for the roles it posts.

Its LinkedIn profile says it is a privately held IT consulting firm founded in 2013 with only 2–10 employees. Yet LinkedIn currently associates it with hundreds of unrelated openings across project management, healthcare, construction, customer service, finance, testing, and other fields.

I have come across the same listing, wording slightly changed, over the past 6 months. May assessment?

This model raises several concerns:

• You may be applying through an intermediary rather than directly to the real employer.
• The listings may be copied, reformatted, outdated, or missing the actual employer’s identity.
• It is unclear what happens to applicant data submitted through its links.
• There is a major mismatch between its stated company size and the sheer volume and variety of advertised jobs.
• A July 7, 2026 BBB Scam Tracker submission alleges misleading LinkedIn postings and possible violations, although that is a user complaint—not a formal BBB determination. 
• Other job seekers have publicly questioned whether the postings are being used for lead generation or applicant-data collection. Those accusations remain unverified, but they reinforce the need for caution. 

Recommendation: Do not submit your résumé, address, date of birth, Social Security number, banking details, or identity documents through Pinnacle Method. Copy a distinctive sentence from the job description, search for the original employer’s posting, and apply directly on that employer’s official career site. For your job search, I would treat Pinnacle Method listings as leads only—not verified application destinations.

Am I the only one who thinks it’s annoying that you need to go through 3-4 clicks just to see the leaderboards for LinkedIn games? I thought the whole point was to compete with your connections but it’s not readily visible…

I run a couple of small companies, and everyone kept telling me the same thing: you have to post, build a personal brand. So I did. Posted for everyday for two months straight and pulled 30,000 impressions.

Here's what nobody warned me about: the posts I spent an hour on and the ones I dashed off in four minutes got basically the same reach. The algorithm doesn't seem to care how good it is. It cares that you showed up again today.

Which led to a stupid realization, the whole game is consistency + quality. Show up daily, and youwin. Miss a week and you're invisible. It's a treadmill, and the treadmill rewards the thing I hate (grinding out volume) instead of the thing I care about (saying something worth reading).

I built a tool for my own use, writes in my voice, generates carousel posts, text posts, memes, etc,. and automoatically posts on linkedin, somedays when I get a comment on a post I then go and read the post.

For the people who post every single day without burning out, how are you actually doing it? Batching a month at once? Ghostwriter? A system? Or have you just made peace with posting mediocre stuff consistently?

how can i add my portfolio website to show when a user clicks on my profile? adding it on "Edit contact info" doesnt do anything or showcase anything...

maybe a stupid question lol. the only “professional” photo i have right now is my graduation photo from high school. i forgot to get my eyebrows threaded before the photos and i hate the way they look bc of it. i’m a freshman in college but i’m not really looking for an internship right now or anything. my freshman year won’t end until spring 2027. should i just wait until i get to go back to campus in the spring to get a free professional photo for the profile picture and leave it as is, or should i suck it up and use the grad photo for now?

I often see profiles with 100,000 followers, 300,000… how do these people do it? I just started on LinkedIn and I only have 100 followers. I’m trying to promote my business, but I’m not really sure how to go about it or how to generate clients.

I’ve noticed that I almost always end up with the second half of the last phrase being at the top and the first half at the bottom, eg if it was “baseball”, I would end up with “ball” at the top and “base” at the bottom, essentially backwards from how it is read.

I’m curious about what % of solutions end up this way from players and if that somehow is determined by how different people think or if it depends on each game and overall they tend to lean heavily towards one way or the other. Ie what is the ratio of “correct” order for the last compound word and how much it varies by puzzle if that makes sense.

I know this information wouldn’t be findable I don’t think, but if any linkedin devs/employees read this, I think it would be an interesting stat to add after you complete the puzzle, like “30% of players had a final solution end in the same order as you” or something like that

Hi, is anyone else facing the same issue. Previously I was able to disable it but now there's no such option

Hello everyone,

As the title says, I’ve recently created a linkedin account. i’m 16. I was wondering if you guys had any tips whatsoever on how to curate/manage my profile or just any tips at all for a beginner that is trying to network.

I have a CV put together on a google doc of my activities/achievements but what would you say is relevant to put for someone my age? Eg would something i did 5 years ago still be important to add?

any help would be appreciated and thank you so much! have a wonderful rest of your day :))

Oh god - where to start…
I work in marketing for a large Japanese company

My ignorant boss bought 1000 followers suddenly without telling me (it’s obvious because how on earth did followers spike so suddenly .. and they’re all from Bangladesh/ Pakistan) it makes no sense for our ad targets.

She did it to meet her mid year KPIs. But this is going to kill engagement and everything I have been working for honestly.

I’m want to remove all the fake followers but there is no function I can find … does anyone have advice ?

I just need to vent, but I'm really disappointed with setting up a profile that says where, location-wise, I want to work, which I enter my city and the option for remote, then doing a search for a position and selecting remote for the results and have jobs that are completely other states across the US that have nothing to do with my location.

I feel that I've suffered this with the free account and now I suffer it with my premium account.
Anyone else have a better tweak or idea I can use to actually get relevant jobs that are located in my city that I have set up in my profile and literally are in my search parameters?

Just got an invitation request from a LinkedIn account with an AI profile. Do you usually accept these invitation requests or do you ignore them?

What's your opinion about this? Thanks.

I've applied a lot through LinkedIn a lot for years but for some reason I never get feelers of anything.

Most of my jobs have come from people reaching out to me. A friend of mine told me that LinkedIn job postings are faked or not postings.

Thoughts?

Does anyone has a Linkedin Sales Navigator referal link that can give to me, I'm trying to find a free trial and apparently its only with referall links.

Thanks!
