Reposting: A new way to share stories you love with your followers

Readers want story suggestions from people they trust

Ever read a great story and wish you could share it with your community on Medium with a single click? With reposts, you can do exactly that. Any time you stumble across a story that you want to spread more widely, just click the repost button to help bring that story to your followers on their Medium home feed.

Share meaningful stories with readers who trust you

We developed reposts as a way for readers to share the stories that move you. Medium is full of stories that make you chuckle, consider something from a different perspective, or teach you something new. We want readers to have more ways to bring those stories to light.

Our recommendation system is pretty good at matching stories to your interests, but we know that more and more readers want to get story recommendations from people they know and trust.

I’ve experienced this myself already — while we were testing the feature, we opened up a temporary Slack channel for staff members to repost stories into. I got to read stories that never would have crossed my feed, like one about making yourself uncomfortable on purpose, or about the fate of a car designed for women, by women, or about how to worldbuild a fantasy economy. But I know and trust my coworkers, so I gave them a shot and I loved them.
