@Haniazed You may want to consider testing this Customize Feed Preset: Friends Only, Time Based
Your current setting may have "Relevant Content" on Minimum, which introduces other, less relevant sources into your feed (intended for those who wish to see more content, from a wider range of users).
@Andrew It's no longer working as in the past, it will suddenly show posts made by people outside my circle and also, it seems no longer to include comments made by friends on posts.

I've quickly checked this out for you, and from what I can see: The very first Top 8 results on your Feed, are ALL "comments made by friends on posts".
So, I'm not sure what you are describing. Your feed currently shows what you are asking for.
pillowprincess it will suddenly show posts made by people outside my circle and also
This may be because of your current settings. You have many of the Customize Feed sliders in the Middle (a Mix between Relevant and Random), and you have the Sort, prioritized by Time, over Relevance.
You can try using the "Most Relevant" Preset, to prioritize users you Follow.
This should move all Sliders to Max (5).
You could then decide if it's better for you, adjusting Groups to Lower/Minimum, then also Time/Relevance, to Minimum (Time Prioritized).
@Andrew My first comment quoted was made about my "friends" preset feed, and there's no single comment included in that feed. I am not sure I understand the feed settings, I'd have expected all the feed to be filtered and not only a top 8 or 15 for that matter. I tried to reset the feed filters after replying to your comment and tho the settings weren't changed it did change the sorting of posts within the feed, and also for the main feed that I at the same time updated (and again, no change in settings).
As for the "friends" preset, I already did what you suggested prior by recommendation of Nuno, and it didn't work out either. Anyway, the preset says friends, time based. My main settings says all, time based. Neither is working accordingly.
I'm not sure what you guys did to make this an issue as it was working better before you made the update with favorites. Just my feedback and maybe help to direct when things went downwards. The feeds are useless for me as it is right now. It's all too random to follow anyone by using the feeds.

From what I can see, it's currently the same way, for your "Friends" Custom Feed as well. The first 8 posts, are all Comments made by your Friends.
pillowprincess I'd have expected all the feed to be filtered and not only a top 8 or 15 for that matter.
The entire feed is generated per your active settings. There isn't any specific Top 8 / 15 grouping.
Simply, from what we can see, at the moment, the first 8 posts in both of your feeds, are all "comments from friends".
That could change to: 5, 2, 11, 0 ... at another point in time.

We would like to assist you, and we are trying to, however, what you are reporting as seeing in your feed (or not seeing), is contrary to what our internal systems show is appearing to you at the moment.
The feed customize pretty well according to the settings chosen.
We'll make a note to look into your situation better, in case there is some bug.
However at this time, what you are reporting isn't the same as what we are seeing presented for your feed, so it's difficult to advise you further.
@Andrew It’s posts, not comments. All posts being older and not chronically. Per the first point replied to me. I’m on the run now and will have to look into your full reply at a later point.
Friends afterwards in a mix of old and new posts and comments
It's neither time based or friends only.
Ideally we'd be able to have all comments and posts, all time based and then filters where we could chose if we want to see comments or posts, friends etc. I'm aware we'll never get that, you've ignored me each time I've asked you if we can have a feed that's time based without algorithms. As we can't have that it would be nice if we at least could have the feeds showing what the presets say, which for me is 'All Users, Time Based' for my main feed and Friends Only, Time Based' on my alternative feed. I'd appreciate if you could help me with this. Thank you.
