The fascinating thing about Tweetdeck is it allows people to view multiple columns side-by-side, so they can track multiple lists, in addition to the Home feed, as well as have something like a Search column. I've noticed some accounts never appear in my Home feed, but in lists.
So I follow someone like @realDonaldTrump and I put him in a couple lists which display on each side of the Home feed, so I can see if he ever appears in that Home column. He never does. I can see the moment his new tweet appears in the two lists, but he doesn't in the Home feed.
I no longer use the traditional twitter URL to view Home page updates, since it's drastically limited, so I can't tell if he shows up there, but the Tweetdeck Home column is supposed to represent that. Unless there's a sampling issue, I don't think he'll appear in my Home feed.
A sampling issue would be Tweetdeck not necessarily trying to pull everything from my Home feed, but perhaps a finite number of posts within a period of time, and coincidentally Trump's tweets get missed. Just something to think about. I don't think he's the only one I don't see.
If it's not a sampling issue it could be something else, is what I'm getting at. Only someone on the inside of Twitter might know. Or perhaps a developer who works with the Twitter API. Just thought I'd share what I've noticed.
