How to manage Facebook news feed

The first thing that we see as soon as we login to Facebook is the news feed and any notifications. Followed by this, we just scroll down to check all the updates from every one. This feed contains not just updates from our friends but also other updates from pages that you have liked, apps, Facebook ads etc. If a post has the highest number of interactions like Likes, Shares and Comments then that particular post is given higher priority and will appear on top in the news feed, even if you have posted it some time back or even long back.

If you are getting alerts for each and every like or comment for a post that you liked or commented then you always have the option called 'stop notification'.
