How Eden suggests creators for you
The Creators tab recommends creators based on the lists you build — here is where suggestions show up, what the reasons mean, and how to make them sharper.
You should not need to already know every creator worth studying. Once you have a list or two, Eden starts recommending creators that fit each list — based on what those creators actually publish, not who has the most followers.
This article covers where suggestions appear, how Eden picks them, and what to do when they feel off.
Where suggestions show up
On the Creators tab, before you search. Open the Creators tab with an empty search bar and you see a section per list — More like Philosophy, More like Hooks — each with a handful of creators that fit that list's lane. Below them, Popular creators shows the platform-wide view. Typing any search replaces all of it with your results.
Inside Add creators. When you fill a list from the quick-add dialog (the Add creators button on any list), the suggestions under the search bar become More like "your list" once the list has a couple of members. You can fill out a list without leaving the dialog or knowing a single name in advance.
How Eden picks them
Suggestions blend three signals, strongest first:
- Content similarity. Eden compares what candidate creators publish against what the creators in your list publish — the actual substance of their recent posts. This is why a list of two philosophy writers surfaces a third philosophy writer, not just "people with big accounts".
- Saved together. Creators that other Eden users keep in the same lists as your picks. If most people who track creator A also track creator B, B is probably worth a look.
- Same category. Creators whose overall category matches your list's, used mostly as a floor while the stronger signals warm up for very new creators.
Each suggestion card carries its reason — "similar to @naval", "saved together by others", or the category — so you can judge the recommendation before clicking.
Eden never suggests someone you already follow in that workspace, or anyone you have hidden from Discover.
What you see before you have lists
With no lists yet (or lists with fewer than two creators), the section falls back in two steps:
- If you have browsed Discover at all, Eden suggests creators similar to the posts you have been viewing and saving — labeled "based on posts you've viewed".
- Failing that, you see Popular creators: the creators most often saved to lists across Eden, weighted so a 200K-follower writer that many users track can outrank a 5M-follower account nobody saves.
The fastest way to unlock real suggestions is to add two or three creators to one list. That is enough for the "More like" engine to find the lane.
Making suggestions sharper
- Keep lists focused. Suggestions are computed per list, so a tight "B2B storytelling" list gets tight recommendations. A list of "everyone I like" averages into mush — the same reason focused lists make better feeds.
- Add as you go. Every creator you add sharpens that list's suggestions on the next visit.
- Hide what you never want. Hiding a creator from Discover also removes them from every suggestion surface.
Where to go next
- For hunting a topic directly instead of waiting for suggestions, read searching creators by topic.
- For what makes a list worth suggesting against, read building a creator list.
Building a creator list as a content feed
A list is a group of creators you read as one feed. Here is how to make one and what to do with it.
Searching creators by topic
Type what a creator talks about — not just their handle — and Eden finds creators whose actual posts match the topic, with the matching posts as receipts.
