Perhaps you’ve seen this message circulating around Facebook before. Your friends might have posted it. Maybe you fell for it yourself?
Been wondering why I have a dwindled down to a small circle seeing my posts! Thanks for the tip to circumvent Facebook … it works!! I have a whole new profile. I see posts from people I didn’t see anymore. Facebook’s new algorithm picks the same people -m around 25-who will see your posts. Hold your finger anywhere in this post and click ” copy “. Go to your page where it says “What’s on your mind?” Tap your finger anywhere in the empty field. Click paste. This is going to circumvent the system
Hello new and old friends!
No, it doesn’t. This is a well-known hoax that has been circulating for years. Please do not spread it any further.
What to do instead on Facebook
If you want to see more from your friends, the simplest thing to do is to search for their names, go to their pages, and like, comment, and share their posts. That will signal to Facebook, “Show me more like this.”
A slightly more complicated but much more powerful method is to make some of your Facebook Friends as Close Friends and others as Acquaintances. You will see more from the first group and less (but still some) from the second. How do you do that?
- To mark one person, go to their page and, at the bottom right of their profile picture, find the place where they are currently marked Friends. Click on the pull-down arrow next to that word. Choose Close Friends (to see more of what they post) or Acquaintances (to see less).
- To categorize your whole list of Facebook friends, go to your own home page and click on Friends. You’ll see everybody you’re Friends with on Faceboook–and each one will have a pull-down menu you can use to mark them Close Friends or Acquaintances.
- If you leave them alone, you will see them just about as often as you do now.
Tell your organization’s Facebook followers about this nifty trick. They will thank you for it!
