Great and all, that you can now finally watch pages or spaces without getting spammed by mail but instead having the changes show up in the feed.
But honestly, I'm missing an overview of all activity going on in a short list, just like in the previous "new homepage". 👎
This looks like you can waste a lot of time just scrolling through the feed while the old overview was just a fifth of the space one feed-box uses so you had a great overview of all the activity going on.
Is there any way to implement an overview like that on the homepage?
For example as an additional category among the buttons "activity" and "popular".
Also, is there a way to remove some of the boxes, one deems unnecessary?
People or Spaces don't have a "follow"-button. You have to open that popup-menu for follows (the button might be a bit hidden, for it being the only option to change your feed) to change who you want to follow.
There isn't even a complete list you can choose from. You have to type in all the names of spaces or people manually.
Please correct me on it, if this is not the experience for others. With the state it is in for me, the usability is terrible.

@user-81273719386491 - thanks for the detailed feedback - if you're up for it, I'm happy to chat more live about your suggestions if you'd like. If you'd like to chat, would you email me at dchung2@atlassian.com and we can coordinate a time.
I am system admin. I have archived my personal page, and set a default global home page as one of team sites. Every time I open Confluence Cloud, it continues to go to my personal space. Is there a way to avoid this?

@DJ Chung - The update has just rolled out to my company's instance today. For me this has killed the one useful feature of the Home page - the timeline view of the Activity feed.
1. The Recent and Spaces widgets have no use, I access these through the Nav (even when on the home screen) and have no need for the duplication on the home page. This was the case before but the Activity feed was useful.
2. My use case for the Activity feed is to keep up to date on work going on outside of the things i am involved with. With the unfiltered timeline view of the Activity feed this was easy as it could be refreshed occasionally and I could go through and pick and choose the recent updates that were relevant or interesting. Short of following everyone in the company or every single space in Confluence there is now no way to do this. 'Popular' does not fit this use case.
Could you please add an 'All' filter on the Activity feed alongside 'Following' and 'Popular' to bring back the timeline view of all updates?

Hey @matt.taylor - thanks for this feedback and we hear you. This is something we are actively looking into. I don't have any decisions/solutions or a timeline, yet.
However, if you're up for it, I'd be happy to chat with you to give you more details of how we're thinking about things and learn more about your use case. If you'd like to find a time to chat, would you email me at dchung2@atlassian.com?
I am going to be the contrarian voice here, as this got pushed out to us. It looks nice, but hides anything useful
Confluence is a business application, not Facebook. I don't need to follow people, I don't need a feed of stuff that Atlassian thinks might be relevant to me. Of the 'Discover What's happening' suggestions, only one is. I don't have the time nor inclination to cusTomiZE mY eXPeRienCe (BTW, the customization features are almost non-existent)
I understand that we can have a custom home page, but, again, we now need to work to undo your changes. Why not just allow us to revert to the old standard layout? Or flip it, let us opt in to the new layout.
One last thing. This looks awful on a large monitor. A little strip of content floating in the middle of a white ocean.
Yeow! the new "Space case home mode" is freakin' terrible. I and my employees can't find anything as of this new and improved bullshit we didn't want and didn't ask for. This is why people hate cloud services, because we come in to work in the morning and some product manager in an Atlassian back room has now decided to disrupt our entire flow by changing everything,.
How do I completely disable this feature site wide, and return to being able to specify a specific, STATIC landing page that ALL users will see when they log in?
