I’d really love for my Facebook page to gain more followers and get noticed does anyone have experience with this?

Which types of interactions does the current Facebook algorithm prioritize most? How do video views, watch time, comments, shares, saves and interactions from friends affect post distribution? Please share your insights with me i would be very grateful.

Shares and watch time are worth focusing on. Post content people genuinely enjoy and want to share.

Facebook prioritizes content that is relevant to viewers, keeps them engaged for longer periods, and generates meaningful comments and shares. Saves and interactions from friends can also help boost distribution, though the extent of this impact varies depending on the specific content and the preferences of each individual user.

Nobody can give you exact current weights - Meta does not publish those. What Meta does publish, on its Transparency Center ranking pages, is how Feed ranking works at the process level: it gathers candidate posts, weighs thousands of signals, makes personalized predictions (like how likely you are to comment, or whether a post might spark a back-and-forth) and orders posts by a relevance score - and it says those signals and models change frequently. So treat any confident priority list, including the ones in this thread, as unverified. Independent empirical studies can add evidence too, though they are measured on someone else's sample, not your page. The check most relevant to you is your own data: list your last 20-30 posts with reach and the counts per interaction type - views, watch time, comments, shares, saves - and see which patterns your higher-reach posts share. Treat that as hypotheses to keep testing, not settled answers: a post can rack up shares because it already had reach, and a small sample can mislead either way.

Post more engaging content, that's literally the answer

What exactly does "attractive" mean? Why don't you provide some concrete examples? I don't have any immediate way to measure it am i supposed to just produce a large quantity and wait, even though I’ve already been trying?

1St.Zed88 - on "no immediate way to measure it": you have one, and it answers your question better than anyone's signal list. Page Insights shows post reach and post engagement for each of your posts, available as soon as the post is published - from your Page's dashboard (Meta is renaming it Creator/Business Dashboard) or in Meta Business Suite under Insights > Content. So "engaging" stops being a vibe: it is the posts where the engagement relative to their reach beats your own recent average.

Two cautions so the measurement does not mislead. First, the baseline is yours, not a universal number - what counts as strong depends on your niche and audience size, so compare your posts against your posts. Second, a single post proves nothing: topic and timing change between posts, so one post beating another can be the topic, not the format. The workable version is a small deliberate series - vary one thing (format, hook, length), keep the rest similar across a handful of posts, and see which side keeps landing above your baseline. That is an experiment to watch, not a recipe, and a handful of posts can point a direction without proving a rule.

That also turns the confident signal rankings in this thread, like dinhduchoang's watch-time-first ordering, into something you can test on your own page instead of take on faith. And it beats producing volume and waiting: the waiting is real (a few posts per variant), the blind part is not.

On the thumbnail question, I'd treat it as a click-through lever on feed posts and less so on Reels, where the first second or two of the video does most of the work. For watch time, there isn't a fixed ratio worth chasing, so I'd look at the retention graph in Insights and see where people drop off. If most viewers leave in the first 3 seconds, fix the hook before anything else, and if they leave midway, cut the video shorter. On volume, I wouldn't just post more, I'd pick one format and post it on a steady schedule for a couple of weeks so you compare like with like.

In my experience, if you want to increase engagement, you need to engage with other people's posts; doing so generates interaction and draws the attention of others.

Building a community of followers and capturing attention on Facebook requires a combination of content strategy and persistence. When your posts, images, or videos are shared widely, more people become aware of your content, which allows you to grow your follower base more rapidly.
