just another reason

I suppose this "Facebook" tag is turning out to be a list of reasons why I don't like Facebook, and why I much prefer Dreamwidth and Livejournal.

From what I've read, your News feed doesn't necessary show all the things your friends have posted, nor necessarily in the order they posted them in. Facebook decides, based on its own algorithms, which posts by which people it thinks you'll be interested in, and shows you them.

From what I read, a way around that is to create custom friends lists, and to view those lists instead. Which had been working for me. But now it seems that whenever I look at my lists, it only shows posts for a short time period (one day apparently), and then shows "There are no more posts to show right now. Go to News Feed".

So if I want to catch up on everyone's posts, I have to go to each of their pages individually. What a hassle.

Ugh yeah I hate that you cant straightforwardly see what the people you want to follow post.  And if I dont want to unfollow them, I have to see whatever facebook chooses to bombard me with- especially things theyve liked.  Some people I want to keep following like a Lot of things that show up on my wall.  And I like a lot of things and wish that wouldnt be showing up for other people.

Yeah, they should have a setting for that too, to only show posts and not likes or comments etc.
