On another slightly related note, has anyone else noticed that Facebook will reset the feed's sort setting to "Top Stories" no matter how many times it's set to

  Seems to have been a common complaint over the years: https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10152230374684250 https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=1015223... https://www.socialmediatoday.com/social-networks/how-permanently-set-your-facebook-feed-show-most-recent-instead-top-stories https://www.socialmediatoday.com/social-networks/how-permane... > In the desktop view of Facebook, there's an option to change from "Top Stories" to "Most Recent", but Facebook only maintains that setting for about 24 hours and then it automatically reverts back to Top Stories.

    Could be their attempt to revise top news so you finally eventually stop going to most recent? It's like this: let's personalize your news You: personalization is not accurate enough. Go back to most recent. Computer: got it. Changing algorithm. Trying again.

  Even when I enable "Most Recent", it doesn't show every post from all of my friends. There are posts that show up on "Top Stories" that don't show up on "Most Recent." How does that make sense?

    I just tried changing the feed sorting order to "Most Recent" and found that it only displays 4 posts. One post from a page I follow, one advertisement whose sponsor was liked by one of my friends, one post that links an article from one of my friends, and a series of posts on a friend's wall for their birthday. At the bottom, it says "there are no more posts to show right now." If I change the sorting order back to "Top Stories", it shows far more posts and the first four are in the same order as the ones shown in the other sorting order. Given that, I don't have much incentive to use the "Most Recent" sorting order it seems.
