There are other RSS generators that work in similar ways. Additionally, since Feedity works by selecting specific elements you want it to monitor, if Facebook changes their site design – which they have planned – it will need refreshing then as well. Unfortunately, Facebook is somewhat aggressive with this, so you may have to go back and re-create your feed every few months. Some websites try to change up their architecture specifically to baffle scrapers that profit off of posting their content elsewhere. The other quirk with Feedity is that it’s not always super consistent. Most critically, the low-tier plan only checks for new content every six hours, which might be more of a delay than you want. Now, you’re very limited on some elements of Feedity, such as how many articles it stores in the RSS feed before rotating them out, how many feeds you can create, and other elements like ads in the feed. Feedity gives you the RSS link, which you can then use in whatever RSS program or reader you want. When a change happens – like a new post is created – it is scraped and formatted as an RSS item. You set it up to monitor a Facebook page, either a page or a profile, and look for changes to that page. Feedity is basically a DIY web scraper engine.

If you have several friends you want to keep tabs on, add them all to a list and set your notifications for that list. You can also, crucially, enable or disable notifications for entire lists all at once. You can add and remove friends to these lists at your leisure, and control what those users see when you post. You may have noticed that you can add a label to a friend, such as “acquaintance” or “close friend.” These are lists, and you’re allowed to create custom lists if you like. Only if the user has follows enabled are you allowed to set these notifications without being a friend.įacebook also allows you to control notifications for entire lists of friends at once. This system also doesn’t work for most personal accounts when you’re not friends with the person on the other end. Just note that you can only do this with a page you’re following, though you do not need to Like the page to follow it. You can set Facebook to trigger a notification for highlighted posts, all posts, or nothing. Additionally, you can have those notifications emailed to you or texted to you, which can have their own options configured based on your system.įor Facebook Pages for businesses and other entities, you have similar notification settings. Then, at the bottom, you can choose how those notifications are delivered.įor example, you can enable browser-based push notifications, which will work whether you’re on Facebook or not, as long as you have your browser open.

However, this is still just a Facebook notification, meaning if you’re not actively on the Facebook site or app, you won’t get it.
Sometimes it will be on a slight delay – I’ve seen up to 15 minutes of delay before – but it’s not typical. When this option is enabled, you will get a Facebook notification when that user posts something new.
