Quick Action
Facebook recently changed the way users see posts in their news feed, choosing the content THEY think you should see first. As a result, you may be missing important posts, updates, events, and calls to action. Take back control of your news feed in a few easy steps.
Facebook analytics indicate that most Suit Up Maine members see posts via their news feeds. The downside to being a news feed-only user is that you are leaving it up to Facebook to decide what you should see. And with the changes Facebook made to their news feed algorithms earlier this year, that probably means you’re missing many posts, events, calls to action, and everything else Facebook has decided NOT to serve you. Here are 4 easy way to make sure you see all the best of your [favorite and most cherished] group:
