With Facebook I scroll down until I see something I've seen before, then I stop. Doesn't seem very hard, and I imagine its what most people do. If I want to revisit older things then I keep scrolling, but that's almost never the case.
- M2Ys4U 9y agoI used to do this with Twitter, but that's impossible these days.
- SyneRyder 9y agoStill possible with Twitter if you use a 3rd party app, like Tweetbot on Mac / iOS and Fenix on Android. I don't think it's possible on the website or official app (and if I was forced to use Twitter as currently designed, I think I'd give up on it).
- pjc50 9y agoStill works for me - you occasionally have to decline "things you may have missed", but they come as a lump and the chronological order is preserved.
- Terribledactyl 9y agoI was under the impression that each scroll through Facebook could show different content in arbitrary orderings.
- WalterGR 9y agoFor vosper's technique to work, you have to select the Most Recent ordering for your news feed.
- incompatible 9y agoThat's what I do, but I also have to change the ordering from "Top Stories" to "Most Recent" fairly frequently. That usually puts out different stuff (Facebook seems incapable of remembering the setting. I assume it's deliberate design at this point, since such a blatant bug would have been fixed by now). I suspect it's only a workable strategy if you either have few friends, or stop following all the ones with a low signal to noise ratio, or if you use Facebook somewhat frequently. Otherwise, there'd just be too many updates to finish scrolling through them in a reasonable amount of time.
- jkmcf 9y ago"Most Recent" is most recently updated by comments, which is mostly useless for me. I just stopped using FB as much, checking in just to see how people are doing every few days.
