2007 imac running El Capitan works fine zero issues with any site.

2012 macbook pro running high sierra has issues with facebook.
Issue is when I set news feed to show most recent. It will show between 2 and 10 posts only. I try and click show more posts at end of the displayed posts and nothing happens.
If show top posts is selected then the list goes on and on.

I have signed out of FB on the mac, cleared safari cache etc.

Works fine in firefox.
Yes I know "well just use firefox then" but I prefer safari as linked to my cloud so my mac at home gets same saved pages etc.

I've had that issue for a week now, I only see exactly one item in my Facebook feed. SO annoying. And I know of at least one other case where the same happens.

I guess someone at Facebooks end ****ed up, and for some reason they aren't using Mac's for Facebook?
 
but one mac only my imac is fine but my newer macbook has the issue :(

Been almost 2 weeks like this.
So been using my phone mostly for FB

Are you using the AdBlock extension i Safari on the Mac where FB isn't working.

I had similar issues and changing to the AdBlock app from App Store fixed it. (Didn't like that app, BTW, so I switched to the AdBlock Plus extention, which isn't quite as good as AB on some of my most visited sites, but plays nicely with FB.)

Anyway: Try running Safari without any extensions, and see if FB behaves then.
 
Well removing adblock from the macbook pro did not fix the issue.

just got to work and tried it and recent posts only showed 2 post with adblock removed so not sure what else can be?

the imac was running ublock not adblock when I checked last nite.
disabling ublock fixed another issue on the imac so thanks @Mitthrawnuruodo

Gonna run with no blockers for a bit see what happens
 
I've got the same issue and am currently looking for a fix. I've removed the Safari Extension and Facebook loads fine. Just reinstalled it and Facebook is broken. So I'm trying to find out how to see a list of things I've blocked as I've obviously blocked something which is now causing the issue. I can't seem to find a preference file I can remove, and I've looked in the preferences of Adblock but apparently my block list is empty.
[doublepost=1533936234][/doublepost]OK - fixed it for me anyway. I removed Adblock and installed Adblock Plus.

Can confirm - disabling Adblock extension got my facebook feed back.
 
This is something that has happened since Sierra. Never had these problems in 10.6.8 with a new SSD. It was lightning speed. Chrome and Safari are deathly slow at loading many sites, including Facebook since updating to Sierra. The bookmarks loaded in an instant too prior to Sierra, but now it freezes every time. Had I not lost so much usage on so many things, due to locking and lack of updates, I'd have happily stayed on Snow Leopard
