So recently Facebook separated the "News Feed," which is now selective stories/updates chosen by some unknown algorithm, from the "Live Feed," the former news feed. Now, the News Feed might be more targeted (maybe), but I know many people don't like it.
Want to know how to get the old news feed back when you go to the home page? Here's how in 3 easy steps:
- Create a new friend list containing all your friends (or just the ones you care about).
- Move that list to the top by selecting "More," then dragging it up to the top of the list of… um… lists.
- Profit!1
I've been using something similar ever since Facebook introduced the live feed as the news feed last time they changed things. (Facebook is fickle, huh?) I have a list of people I really want to see up-to-date information for without getting bombarded by various people from grade school whom I haven't seen in nearly 15 years but for some reason keep as friends on Facebook. (Sorry former classmates…) So it took me a while to notice the new change. Hopefully this helps.
