My problem with the news feed is how non-deterministic the results are. There have been so many cases where I will see a post/photo/video that I find interesting, but fuck me if I ever want to find it again on a different device or at some point in the future if I didn't bookmark it or remember who posted it and when. It always seems like a random shuffling of the deck when I load the page, and it's incredibly frustrating.

Not only that, on mobile, I'll follow a link from FB, read an article, and go back. The mobile page reloads, and shows a completely different set of articles. FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU.

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.

Ah great! Thanks.

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.

Related: I noticed recently that basic history navigation is broken on facebook. Not just for the newsfeed. Anyone else who noticed this as well?

Came here to complain about this so I upvoted you instead. It would be great, too, if their search could actually show posts.. My usual go-to when I'm trying to find something again is to go to the person's profile, but sometimes I forget who posted it and in that case there's basically no hope in finding the post again...
