Facebook stories showin on feed

[neil231-create]

Hello facebook stories are now showing on facebook feed even if setting is disabled for it.

[zbluebugz]

Which version of fb-cmf userscript are you using?

Where are the Stories appearing?

Right at the top of the page? (i.e first thing you see and is above "What's on your mind, " section)

Somewhere between the News feed articles? (i.e. below the "What's on your mind, " section)

Are you able to upload a screen-shot of the Stories?

• you can cut out bits from the screenshot that are a bit personal - just need an idea what it looks like on your side.

Thanks for the feedback.

None of my fb accounts are seeing Stories in the News-feed stream.

As I can't see them, there's a few of options on how to proceed with this issue: 1) Use FB-CMF's > News Feed > "Text filter" option hide those posts

• i.e. Add "Stories" to the list of keywords
• This will hide all posts having the word "stories" somewhere in it.

2) Someone supplies me the HTML structure for 2 x Stories articles (can provide instructions or code to do the HTML extraction)

3) Wait until I see a Stories post (could be a long time!)

Yeah maybe its a experimental thing fb is doing anyways I will try your recommendation thanks always!

I have a found a rule that might work for detecting Stories posts in the News Feed stream.

Can you test this userscript: version 4.25-beta-1.

You'll need to check that the "Stories" option in fb-cmf dialog box is enabled. If you have "Stories" in the text-filter, you'll need to remove that entry (the code checks for Blocked Text before checking Stories).

NB: I don't see Stories appearing in my News Feed stream, so the script is untested. I would appreciate feedback on whether this update works or not.

Thanks for the feedback.

I still don't have a fix for this as I have not yet seen a "Stories" post in my feeds nor have a sample HTML code for a "Stories" post.

Could you do either: 1) Supply me the HTML code for a Stories post? (if you need instructions, let me know) 2) Add "Stories" to the text-filter and see if that works?

Hmm, if the whole feed is being blocked with "Stories | Reels | Rooms tab list box" option enabled, then it could be that another addon/extension is hiding the whole page due to fb-cmf changing the HTML structure slightly.

Had this happening to me when I was in the Watch Videos feed. uBlock Origin has a rule to hide Sponsored posts in the Watch Videos feed. To fix this, I tell uBO to "roll-back" their rule(s) to stop this behaviour. (I use a custom rule in uBO to hide video ads)

What other Addon/Extension do you use when visiting FB? Have you tried disabling them while fb-cmf is running?

If you are seeing "Stories" post(s) in your News Feed, below the "What's on your mind, " section, then run the following script in the JavaScript console when you see a "Stories" post. It will try to find the "Stories" post (assuming the heading/label is "Stories") and dump the HTML code for that post. Copy this HTML code and paste the code into pastebin.com (set the "Paste expiration" to 1 Day) - you might want to replace the person's name/details in the code (replace with dummy text - e.g. person-name, stories-content).

(function findAndExtractStoriesPosts() {
    const collectionOfPosts = document.querySelectorAll('div[class="x1lliihq"]');
    for (const post of collectionOfPosts) {
        if (post.innerText.toLowerCase().includes('stories')) {
            console.log('** Found a "Stories" post:', post.outerHTML.length, '\n', post.outerHTML);
        }
    }
})();
