Facebook is testing a feature on mobile that allows users to select friends and pages whose posts they’d want to see atop News Feed.

For some mobile users, a box with an animated puppy shows up, prompting the user to “See more of what you love.”

From there, it leads to a screen (below) with bubbles of all of the friends and pages with whom that person has connected. People can select which pages and friends they’d like prioritized above the algorithm.

Until this test, the main way that people could ensure they see every post from a friend or page was to opt-in for notifications.
