The fb feed share algorithm is puzzling me today

The fb feed share algorithm is puzzling me today.

I shared a number of United facing meme posts and they received solid visibility.

I also shared a (long) story about some mis adventures with Ad Astra recently - but the original post is hosted on my website, not a simple post on fb. This one got very little exposure despite the 10 fb friends that were directly involved in the story.

I am wondering if I tag too many people does fb suppress the story?

So I am trying an experiment. What if I do not link to the story directly. But I ask you to go to sailadstra dot com - look for the latest post - One Loose Rope.

I am wondering if that changes the visibility?
