If you feel like you’re seeing too many annoying posts from on your your facebook friends, you don’t have to go as far as ‘unfriending’ them to remove their activity from your Timeline.
What you can do right now is select ‘unfollow’ using the dropdown menu on the top right of any of their posts.
Facebook is also working on a ‘snooze’ feature, which works the same way as ‘unfollow’ but is great if you just want to take a break from someone’s facebook posts for a set amount of time. That feature is only in testing at the moment and hasn’t been spotted by Australian users yet.
