- giancarlostoro 2y agoThere was a way to make a custom feed, I forgot what tab its under, but I would group friends and it was always chronological. The Facebook site is a massive beast of so many experiments. Kind of like Google products.
- jayknight 2y agoIt's there, you just can't make it your default view.
- mrtksn 2y agoDon't you think that the heat-based walls are good too? I'm big fan of HN because of it. The /new tab is available and I sometimes checking it but I love the home page of HN and I love that it's (mostly) what everyone sees at the same time.
- PedroBatista 2y agoThey are also good, but outside a more or less homogeneous bubble with no incentive for monetization it quickly becomes a cesspool dictated by "the algorithm".
- drawkward 2y agoHN doesnt have sponsored content that can be heated up via monetization.
- stickfigure 2y agoTurns out you can train the algorithm to go back to "just posts from friends" by clicking the little X top right corner of the posts you don't want. I had almost given up on the feed, it was turning into a bunch of posts from groups that I wasn't really interested in. I did a little searching, found this suggestion, and after a bit of clicking it seems to work. Now it's just friend posts (and ads, but I assume that's the inevitable price).
