Facebook’s algorithm isn’t surfacing one-third of Chicago Tribune’s posts

The worst part is you can switch it back to the chronological view, but Facebook will undo your change at their earliest convenience. You have to make a bookmark to the correct feed to keep it showing up properly.

It is annoying, but I'm not a power user. I only check it once every few days to keep up with the relatives, maybe post once a week or so. It's pretty low maintenance.

And worse -- they seem to have recently capped the chronological view to 24 hrs. with just a tag at the end "to see more, add more friends" :-/

AFAICT even the "chronological" view is not chronological. I don't know -- I switched over to mbasic.facebook.com because it works without JavaScript -- but I remember posts randomly appearing and disappearing.

There is no chronological view You have either: 'Most recent' = filtered or 'Top stories' = heavily filtered
