Facebook is apparently testing a new type of feed, based on topics.

Some users on Wednesday reported seeing a small menu on the left-hand toolbar titled “Topics,” with Animals & Pets, Food, Health & Fitness and Sports as options.

These feeds surface recent and relevant posts from friends and pages you’ve liked. It appears to only be on desktop, not mobile versions of Facebook.

A Facebook spokesperson confirmed the test in an email to SocialTimes:

People have told us they’d like options to see more stories on Facebook around specific topics they’re interested in.
