I have been asked about this many, many times! There has been many memes and messenger messages going around about this. I can tell you that it is not true. However, don't just take it from me. This past week Facebook has also released a blog
and press release about it.
One of the greatest things about Facebook is how it connects you to your family and friends. In the past 15 years that Facebook has been around (they just celebrated their birthday on February 4) the platform has made the world a smaller place! Connecting to family, friends and giving businesses the ability to connect with clients and to promote themselves! So it doesn't make sense for the platform to do that!
If you want to learn more how the news feed does work, watch this video by Adam Mosseri
who looks after the news feed on Facebook.
So to answer your question. No, Facebook does not set a limit on the number of people whose posts are shown in your News Feed!
