One of the pains of using Facebook is being at the mercy of Zuckerberg and company. You see what they want you to see.
(Remember when the new timelines rolled out for everyone in 2012? A good number of people wanted their old wall, but Facebook didn’t care. End rant.)
The latest decree from the FB gods affects your timeline.
The social media giant will now focus on showing you more posts from friends and fewer posts from pages (like news).
“As we roll this out, you’ll see less public content like posts from businesses, brands and media,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, according to CNN.
Here’s the good news: Facebook has allowed you some leeway.
You can take two approaches to getting away from its new sorting algorithm. We’ll show you how with the East Idaho News page on desktop and mobile devices. (And this applies to other pages on Facebook too!)
Put what you want at the top of the feed
Choosing “See First” on a page means its posts appear at the top of your news feed. (More on how it works here.)
Mobile
On the Facebook app, click the menu button (the stacked three lines). It’s at the top on Android, at the bottom on iOS.
On Android, you have to scroll down until you see “News Feed Preferences.”
