Your best post
should work more than once
Most posts are seen by a fraction of your audience, once, and then disappear into an archive nobody reads. Evergreen recycling puts the ones that hold up back into the queue, at a different time of week, so the repeat reaches the people who missed it.
Evergreen recycling republishes posts that hold up, so your best work keeps earning instead of disappearing into an archive. Content Drifter republishes into a DIFFERENT part of the week from the last run, so the repeat reaches people who were not there the first time rather than showing the same audience the same post twice. Posts are only ever recycled if you mark them evergreen, they retire after a set number of airings, and a repeat creates a new post rather than altering the original.
An archive is not an asset
Writing a genuinely good post is expensive. Showing it to a slice of your followers on one Tuesday and never again is a strange way to treat that.
Recycling is also the mechanic that keeps a feed alive during the weeks you do not show up, and those are exactly the weeks that decide whether posting stays a habit.
A different time of week, deliberately
This is the part other tools skip. Most republish into the next available slot, whenever that happens to be. Repeat a Tuesday-morning post on a Tuesday morning and you have shown it to roughly the same slice of your audience twice, which is precisely the outcome recycling is meant to avoid.
Content Drifter prefers a slot in a different part of the week from the last run, so a repeat reaches people who were not there the first time. If nothing else is available it will still repeat, because a repeat at a less ideal hour beats no repeat at all.
It retires, so your feed never loops
Every post has a limited number of airings and a cooldown between them. Without a cap an evergreen library quietly turns into a loop, and you would be the last person to notice your own feed repeating.
Where we have engagement data for your account, posts that landed well below your own average are left out. Where we do not have that data yet, nothing is assumed: an unmeasured post is not a bad post, and you stay in control of what gets repeated.
Nothing is recycled unless you say so
Recycling is opt-in per post. Republishing your words to your own audience is not something we will infer from silence, so it never happens until you mark a post evergreen.
Each candidate also tells you why it was chosen, for example that it has never been republished before. You are approving a repeat, and "trust me" is not an argument.
Your history stays intact
A repeat is a new scheduled post that points back at the original. The original stays exactly as it was published, because it is the record of what actually went out that day, and rewriting history to save a row would be the wrong trade.
The copy is also not itself evergreen, so repeats cannot breed repeats.
What stops recycling turning your feed into a loop
30 days
Cooldown before a post repeats
5
Times one post may run
0.5x
Skipped below this share of baseline
Three defaults do the whole job. A post cannot go out again inside 30 days, cannot run more than 5 times in its life, and is dropped from the pool entirely if it performed below half its account baseline. Any of them can be changed; leaving them alone is what keeps a recycled feed from reading as a recycled feed.

Frequently asked questions
What is evergreen content recycling?
Republishing posts whose value does not expire, so a good post can work more than once. You mark a published post as evergreen, and it becomes available to republish into a future slot after a cooldown period.
How is this different from other tools that recycle posts?
Most republish into the next available slot regardless of when the post last ran. Repeating a Tuesday morning post on a Tuesday morning shows it to roughly the same slice of your audience twice, which is the one outcome recycling should avoid. Content Drifter prefers a slot in a different part of the week, so the repeat reaches people who missed it.
Will my feed just start repeating itself?
No. Each post has a limited number of airings and then retires, and there is a cooldown between repeats. Without a cap an evergreen library quietly becomes a loop, and you would be the last person to notice.
Does it republish posts that did badly?
Where we have engagement data for your account, posts that came in well under your own average are left out. Where we do not have data yet, nothing is assumed: an unmeasured post is not treated as a bad one, and you stay in control of what gets repeated.
Does recycling change my original post?
Never. A repeat is a new scheduled post that points back at the original. The original stays exactly as published, because it is the record of what actually went out that day. The copy is also not itself evergreen, so repeats cannot breed repeats.
