Just having the option to not see anything I am not explicitly following and always seeing posts in reverse chronological order would be nice.

Right now I barely ever go to Facebook because my timeline is a mess. I've manually unfollowed all my friends and yet the spam comes through.

If you've unfollowed everyone what do you expect to see?

Not the one you're replying to but I unfollow all, but a couple people.

I expect if you unfollowed everyone for it to show absolutely nothing, leaving a "consider following these people" prompt. And otherwise when I reach the end of new content, show me a "you reached the end of your unread content, consider following these people to add more".

Having a clear "you are caught up" point probably isn't positive for engagement metrics so I understand why they don't do it but I'd rather the app be oriented towards UX than to be oriented towards engagement metrics.
