Facebook Algorithm Behavior

Yes, there have been noticeable fluctuations in Facebook reach lately as the algorithm shifts its priorities.
It currently favors genuine interactions (comments/shares) over simple likes, so results can look inconsistent.
Good posts may underperform if timing or engagement type isn’t optimal.

Yes Facebook is choking our reach. I've had it for a month now and had to save it by paying ad for meta :)

I’ve been experimenting with different posting schedules on several Facebook pages, and the algorithm seems inconsistent lately. Some days, high-quality content barely reaches anyone, and other days average posts perform better. Is anyone else noticing strange fluctuations in reach?

It's true that Facebook’s delivery has been quite unstable lately. Some days it delivers very fast with great CPR, but on other days it’s the complete opposite — sometimes it doesn’t even deliver at all
 
Focus on creating more discussion content, the results will be a little better.
 
Are you seeing this with all post types or just video reels?
I'm noticing the same fluctuations. The algorithm currently seems to prioritize content that keeps users on-platform longer, regardless of pure quality. Engagement velocity (how quickly a post gets initial reactions) appears to matter more than ever right now.

Yes, many creators are seeing the same fluctuations Facebook’s distribution has been shifting a lot in 2025, so posts won’t perform in a perfectly logical pattern. The most consistent approach is to keep a steady posting rhythm, watch which formats your audience reacts to the most, and avoid judging performance based on single-day results, because Facebook often tests your content with small groups before pushing it wider.
 
Facebook algorithm can be unpredictable try testing different posting times consistently and track engagement metrics over a some weeks. Using insights to look when your audience is most active usually helps stabilize reach.

Yeah, reach has been all over the place lately. Good posts flop, average ones take off. Meta’s pushing different signals day by day, so it feels unstable. You’re not alone — everyone’s seeing these weird fluctuations
