Facebook and its news feed algorithm

My biggest problem seems to be a bug, not sure if it is FB or browser. But from time to time as you scroll down the news feed, FB displays the stuff you have already seen from the beginning. Sounds like a problem with request firing off and not able to retrieve and populate stuff from the beginning again.

There is also no way to "remember this" unless you like the post.

Click the little drop down arrow at the top right of each post. On many of them (maybe not all -- I can't check right now), there's now a "Save" option.

I started having the exact same problem on my Windows Phone FB app. Took some time to realize it was a bug and not a weird deja vu of mine.

Yup that bug is really annoying. I have observed it only kicks if you open a photo in the photo viewer and then go back to the home feed by closing the photo viewer.
