Pogue's Basics: Organize your Facebook feed

Have you ever wondered how Facebook decides what posts to show you? Here’s a hint: You’re not seeing everything your friends post. Not even close. Facebook’s computers try to decide which posts you’ll find most useful, based on your history of Liking and Sharing things.
It also displays the most popular items at the top, so you’ll see them first—even if that’s not their chronological order. If you’d rather see them in the order they appeared, click Home and then Most Recent.
