I hope this is the right place to post.

I need to use Facebook for work and it’s an account I made that originally I wasn’t going to add anyone. But ended up having coworkers adding me so I post once in awhile, mostly work related to seem social so I can move up and around the company. I can just get on whenever I need something work related but I’ve realized, I should “network” by looking at others posts and liking it and whatnot. But I’m so annoyed by all these spam, and the fact that the news feed aren’t in order. Ugh.

I’ve got ad blocker. I don’t have the fb app. I use the website on my Firefox mobile browser.

Is there any way to block all posts that isn’t from people I know?

Update: Thanks for the suggestion of Friendly app. It works! Hopefully I get push notifications too so I don’t keep missing group postings. No, I cannot stop using fb when all work stuff are in multiple groups that I need to make my life simpler.

      Yep just delete the account while you’re at it. If it’s for work just don’t use it on a personal device

        Delete account and then add facebook to resolve to 127.0.0.1 in your hosts file. 😀

    On the mobile website, Feeds > Friends seems to get rid of the suggested posts and also appears to be chronological.

    There’s probably the same option on the website

        It’s at the bottom of the hamburger menu for me, sometimes those options seem to move around.

          Yeah, it’s not there for me. I’ve got “view your profile,” messages (which is a fakeout, as you can’t actually view them on the mobile website), groups, marketplace, friends, “videos on watch”, pages, dating, saved, memories, events, games, “climate science information center”, “ads manager”, “orders and payments”, “most recent”, settings, dark mode, “privacy shortcuts”, language, help, “support inbox”, about, “report a problem”, and logout. No feeds. I’ve never seen it.

    Noscript works but it also strips a lot of other functionality. FB interprets it as you having a severely throttled Internet connection so it keeps suggesting trying “Facebook light”. But if all you want is your “feed” it will likely work for you.

    I don’t think you’ll find many Facebook experts around these parts
