Is there anyway to wipe my newsfeed clean? That is, I only wish to use Facebook for groups and when my friend tags me, I do not wish to see anything else that may be happening to my friends.
Yes. Each and every post comes with a drop down menu marked by a down-pointing arrow. Click on it and choose the option “hide all posts by x”. You’ll never see anything from whomever posted that post again.
EDIT: You can also go to the profiles you wish not to see anymore (in your case all of them) and choose “unsubscribe”.
