Facebook (accessed via web) only shows first three posts in feed

For some reason, Facebook will now only display the first few posts in my Feed, which is driving me nuts. Refreshing the page makes no difference. Neither do any of the recommended actions I have found online, to resolve the issue (logging out of FB on all devices, clearing browser cache etc, altering settings etc etc).


Does anyone else have this issue? This is on my M1 iMac running current version of Ventura with all available updates applied. When I access FB on my iPhone, I have no issues.

iMac 24″, macOS 13.1

Hello Justakiwi,


If the behavior you're experiencing is specific to Facebook we recommend contacting the developer directly for additional assistance. If you're using the site via a macOS app you can find steps to reach them here: How to contact an app developer


Otherwise, you can find support here: Help Center


Regards.

Hi Justakiwi,


Got it.


You mentioned that you tried a few steps to get this resolved but the issue persists. We'd like you to take a look at this and make sure you've completed all these steps as well:


If Safari on Mac doesn't open a webpage or isn’t working as expected
If Safari isn't working as you expect, one of these solutions might help.

These solutions are for issues that affect Safari on Mac, including issues such as these:
* A webpage is blank, doesn't show all of its content, or doesn't work as expected
* You can't sign in to a webpage, despite using the correct sign-in information
* A webpage asks you to remove or reset cookies
* Safari slows down or stops responding

Solutions for Safari on iPhone and iPad are also available.

Reload the page
To reload a page, choose View > Reload Page, or press Command-R. If you can't reload, make sure that you're connected to the internet.

If you still can't reload:
1. Press Command-Q to quit Safari. If Safari doesn't quit, press Option-Command-Esc to force Safari to quit.
2. Open Safari again and try to load the page. When Safari opens, if it automatically opens pages that you don't want to open, quit Safari again, then press and hold the Shift key while opening Safari. 

Check Safari extensions
If you installed any Safari extensions, make sure that they are up to date.

You can also try turning extensions off. From the menu bar in Safari, choose Safari > Settings (or Preferences). Click Extensions, then deselect the checkbox for each extension to turn it off. Learn more about Safari extensions

Check Safari settings

The webpage might not be compatible with one or more browser settings, which you can turn on or off as needed. From the menu bar in Safari, choose Safari > Settings (or Preferences). Then click Websites, Privacy, or Security to access these settings:

* Websites settings. These settings can be configured for specific websites.
* Privacy settings. These settings apply to all websites.
* Security settings. These settings apply to all websites. 

Test with a private window 

A website can store cookies, caches, and other data on your Mac, and issues with that data can affect your use of the website. To prevent the website from using that data, view it in a private window. From the menu bar in Safari, choose File > New Private Window, or press Shift-Command-N.

If that works, use the following steps to remove the website's data, including its caches and cookies. The website can then create new data as needed. If it's a website that you sign in to, make sure that you know your sign-in information before continuing.

1. Choose Safari > Settings (or Preferences), then click Privacy.
2. Click Manage Website Data.
3. Select the affected website from the list shown.
4. Click Remove.
5. Click Done.
6. Open the website again in a non-private browser window.

Install software updates
Install all available Apple software updates, which can include updates for Safari.

Check VPN or other security software
If you installed VPN or other software that monitors or interacts with your network connections, that software could affect your use of the website or the internet. Learn about network issues related to VPN and other software

Check network settings
Certain network settings, such as those related to using a proxy server or custom DNS server, can affect access to content on the internet. Even if you haven't changed your network settings, you might have installed software that changed those settings for you.

To find out whether the issue is with the network settings on your Mac, try viewing the website from some other device connected to the same network.

To find out whether the issue is with your network itself, try viewing the website after connecting to a different network.

Hope that helps!

Take care.

That is generally what I would do, but this is Facebook we are talking about. Unfortunately, getting any kind of support from them appears to be impossible. They have never yet responded to any communications I've had with them. So I posted here in case someone else had experienced the same issues.


The weird behaviour I am seeing today, is making Facebook almost impossible to use. As I scroll through my feed, everything keeps constantly refreshing and taking me back up the feed. About to just give up on Facebook completely. In this day and age the least they can do is make it compatible with all operating systems.

Thank you for the comprehensive reply. I appreciate it. Unfortunately, yes, I have already tried all of those suggestions, but nothing has made any difference. It is clearly an issue at Facebook's end, so I have contacted them again. Not expecting to get any help from them however.


Thinking I'll just use FB on my iPhone and save myself the stress ;-)
