Out of ten items on your feed, five would be adverts, three are reposts of some crappy influencer’s video or a meme or something, one is a friend’s marketplace listing, and if you’re lucky, the last one is a photo actually taken by a friend who you actually know.
You don't get sorting options for that Feed. And depending on your luck that might be three clicks off the home page to even that (See More > Feeds > Friends).
it still works in the web app - following -> recent - though I think I've got some browser extension to force that to be the default, otherwise it tended to revert to other tabs and ordering.
On the desktop version of the website, click on the "Friends" "Feed" (and there might have been a sort by date as well you had to then click on).
