Hello list,
at first I am very sorry for such a long e-mail, but I want to explain
things properly.
I asked this question several times but have not found an answer, so I
thought I'd try again.
I am just wondering how can a blind personset notifications to get from
Facebook pages.
Apparently, it is possible for sighted users. Here is the text from the
website:
How do I turn on notifications for friends or people and Pages I follow?
To turn on notifications for friends or people and Pages you follow:
1. Go to the person's profile or Page
2. Click Friends or Liked
3. Click to check Get Notifications
When you choose to get notifications, you'll get a notification each
time that person or Page posts something shared with you. You can turn
off these notifications by unchecking Get Notifications.

When I click on "liked" as it is described above, nothing happens.
It is not a problem to set notifications forgroups or people, but I
cannot find a way how to do it for pages.
The instructions above do not seem to work with screen readers (either
Voiceover or NVDA).
I don't have many friends in my facebook, so it was not a problem to put
all of them to "close friends" list, so I know I will not miss any of
their posts.
It is all the same for the groups; there is an option to get
notifications for all posts.
Unfortunately I cannot find such an option for pages.
I have been following pages provided by different stores (food stores,
clothes stores, pet stores), TV shows, TV channels, radio stations,
theatres, cinemas, job agencies, libraries, pages that give offers,
coupons ETC.
As we all know Facebook do not show every single post on news feed, so
it happens quite often that I miss a post I find important, but Facebook
does not think I might be interested in that particular post, so it is
not on my timeline and it happened quite often that I for example missed
something I was interested in.
The solution might be to open each page to see all their posts.
But let's say you are following more than50 pages so opening one by one
takes too much time and I do not want to spend all day browsing my
Facebook. I used to do that for a while, but it takes too long to check
everything.
You may say that Twitter is an alternative to follow, but here, in
Slovakia, they prefer Facebook.
I would be grateful for any tips and instructions.
I was told it is possible, but I did not get any tips to get it work.
Please feel free to contact me off-list at
[email protected]
Thank you for your help in advance.
Have a great weekend.
With kind regards
Maria
