Facebook minitip - Subscribe to notifications on a post

(Otherwise known as STOP TYPING "F" ON POSTS TO FOLLOW THEM!)

As an admin of many groups, one of my biggest bugbears is the habit people have of typing 'F' or 'Following' or tagging themselves on posts. Talking to other admin and members, I know this is a pet hate for a lot of people.

And the good news is, you don't have to do it!

All you need to do is subscribe to notifications on a post - you get notifications, the post doesn't get cluttered and the admin stays happy until the next flame war breaks out, so it's a win-win situation.

To subscribe to notifications, simply choose the post you want, click on the 3 dot menu on the top right hand corner:

Choose 'Turn on notifications for this post':

You will receive future notifications of comments on the post without it being cluttered up and impossible to read!

Please think of your poor admins in future and subscribe to notifications instead of posting 'F'.

Facebook minitip - getting notifications of posts in groups

It seems that some people are missing out on notifications from the Facebook group - in order to be alerted every time a new post is put in the group, the best thing to do is edit your notification settings.

On the Facebook website, this is under 'notifications' at the top - simply tick 'all posts'.

On the Facebook app you need to click where it says 'joined', then 'edit notifications' and tick 'all posts'.

This will ensure you get alerted whenever a new post is put in the group.

Be aware there are a LOT of posts during the day so you may not want to see them all, but getting them all will mean you see swagbucks instant survey alerts, prolific survey alerts and any offers and promotions that are running on various sites / apps as soon as they are posted, rather than coming across them long after they've disappeared.
