Since past 3-4 weeks or so Facebook started adding notifications related to my friends activity to my notification area. Where previously I was notified only about activity around my posts, I can now see:

X added a new photo. Y commented on... Z posted a video and A wrote for the first time in a while.

I'm terrified with this new feature. I have quite a lot friends, but I'm visiting Facebook once per 2-3 weeks and post once per 1-2 month. Thus, before introduction of this feature, with every visit I could find around 3-5 notifications about my own posts, activity or responses.

Now, with each visit I can se around 30-60 notifications about added photos, comments etc.

It seems that I have turned off everything that I could turn off:

and I'm still bloated with these notifications. How can I turn them off?

This answer brought no help to me. It deals with change in Facebook that took place four years ago, while I'm talking about really recent change.

  • Could you please update your screenshot to show that you have Close Friends activity (Choose whether you want to get notifications about Close Friends) set to Off? Thanks!

  • Sorry I was probably very sleepy when I wrote this, because I can see it in your screenshot. My comments can be removed.

It seems that the magic behind disabling this kind of notification is unfollowing your friends.

Here is the magic button to be pressed for each and everyone of such persons:

I'm not using "Home" section of Facebook at all so I don't know, if unfollowing someone means that you'll see no notifications from that person at all, both in "Home" and in notification slider.

I'm pretty sure that yes. I think, that starting from some time, there is no distinction in Facebook between these two places and your decision is only -- either to see all notifications, in both places, or to mute them all, permanently.
