How To Make Your Facebook Newsfeed Great Again

Facebook made waves and kept making waves when Facebook was just established or after it becomes a tech giant. After fourteen years of running, Facebook is still in the wave making business. It helps people to fill up boring moments while traveling or during a break. The unusual thing is that it can sometimes be unpleasant because your Facebook Newsfeed is often swamped with the things that do not fit with your tastes and preferences. Unfortunately, that happens mostly because of you.

This may not seem right for you as what you should know your preferences, but the reason this happens is that Facebook is using a complicated algorithm to determine people’s political stances. Facebook cannot go through everything you have posted onto your News feed in just one time, so their aims are to curate contents that are made available to you. The posts that your family or friends have been shared will be in the top priority. The characteristics that prioritized posts must have are as follows:

           1. Interactions between your family members or friends and another friend of yours.

           2. Comments on a post the has been shared by one of your friends

           3. A video or article’s activity that your friend has been shared.

The main factors that decide what you are going to see on your Newsfeed are what you do and what your friends are posting to Facebook. Below are some steps that you can use to review your News Feed:

Groups

You can go to Manage Groups by clicking the drop-down in the menu bar and then Groups. After that, you should go through all the group you have joined throughout the years. If you can manage to find anything that can make your Newsfeed become worse like any controversial or political groups, just leave the group simply by clicking on the Gear icon and then click Leave Group.

Pages

Pages you have liked should be the next thing you need to have a look at. To go to Pages, firstly you need to access to the homepage of your Facebook then move to the left navigation menu and click on Liked Pages. Do the same as you did for Group section, go through all the pages you have liked over the years. There should be a few stand out pages that are leveling up the toxicity level of your Newsfeed. Select those stand-out pages and go to the top of those pages where you can find the Following and Liked buttons. Just click on Liked and then Unlike this Page if you do not want to see anything from that page ever again. You can also click on Following and then Unfollow the Page if you still want to keep liking the page without seeing any of its posts.

Newsfeed

After finish cleaning up your Groups and Pages lists, it is time for you to deal with the nitty gritty and this may cost you a bit more time if you want to do a deep clean of your Newsfeed. You can start by going through your Newsfeed until you find something that you think can be toxic, controversial or simply does not suit you. If that happens, just move to the upper-right corner of the post and then click on the three dots and next choose the option Hide post in the drop down menu. You can dig a bit deeper and repeat these steps to make your Newsfeed clean again.
