Wave Goodbye to Facebook Friend List Feeds

The little-used feature is being phased out today

Friend list feeds functioned as a separate News Feed containing only posts from people included on friend lists created by users.

The social network tried to boost dormant use of its friend list feature by introducing smart lists, which automatically grouped friends with common characteristics into friend lists, but even that didn’t seem to help much.
