Facebook calls it EdgeRank… You don’t get to see updates from ALL of your friends (especially if you have many). Instead, Facebook prioritizes updates from friends who you tend to interact with more often. These interactions include mutual likes, comments, messages.

Here’s how you can bypass [the] Facebook algorithm:

1. RE-Share Popular Links
When you see a viral link in your feed, you’ll often notice Facebook stack all your friends’ updates sharing it. In many cases, it’s your chance to interact with people you seldom see in your feed.

Similarly, if you share that link too (with the comment), you’ll be seen by those of your friends who don’t tend to see you in their feeds.

2. Tag People
I don’t mean just tag anyone you can think of... Tag people who you want to ask a question (and there’s a reason you think they have an answer), tag those you mentioned in the article, or those you have found in your photo... Once those people you tag come over to like or comment, from now on they will see more of you in their feeds.
