Even with over 1000 friends on Facebook - the maximum engagement that my posts reach is probably in the range of 10 to 200 or at the max 300.

One thing I have noticed is that the friends with whom you engage the most - chat, like, comments - in turn get to see your posts often and engage with them.

Anyone with whom you have not interacted in a long time - more than a few months - will never see any of your posts. I don't see any point of being Facebook friends with anyone with whom I haven't interacted in a while. You aren't getting their updates and they aren't getting yours. Facebook is a social network which I mostly see as a place to broadcast life events to all my broader friend networks and acquaintances.

For close friends and family I always prefer medium of communications that are more intimate in nature - phone calls, video calls.
