I solved the problem when I went to facebook and deleted all groups (except two - both related to family events: I personally know in the real world everyone in both groups). Often when I check facebook now it has no idea what to show me as I've seen everything, and it has to revert to showing me pictures of classmates I haven't interacted with in years - which is what I'm on Facebook for in the first place! Even then it runs out of things to show me fast.

Same. Groups are the worst time sink.

Also, I have ~1000 facebook "friends" but I only follow 25 or so close friends who don't post too much (except my sister who posts too much). I don't find Facebook a time sync. I also only follow about 10 people on Instagram so not a time sync. I only check it once every 1-2 weeks.

I do tend to use Facebook on the desktop web browser with FB Purity installed and filtering all the worst of facebook's horrible time wasters like "so and so commented on X" and "so and so liked Y" etc.
