If you only see the same people’s posts on Facebook, it might be due to the platform's algorithm favoring interactions. Facebook prioritizes content from people you interact with frequently or have interacted with recently. To see a broader variety of posts, start liking, commenting on, or sharing posts from different friends. You can also explore and follow new pages or adjust your News Feed preferences to prioritize who you see first.
