Facebook Groups are proving more effective for audience engagement, accounting for 19.6% of the average US user's feed, marking a 20% increase from the previous year. Groups offer better moderation features and local topic interaction capabilities.

Key findings from the report:

• Only 10.6% of followers see Page posts
• Groups content makes up 19.6% of feeds
• Unconnected posts account for 15.2% of feeds

Viral music-related content from the quarter included:

The report demonstrates Facebook's declining effectiveness for reaching followers directly, suggesting brands may need to shift strategies toward Group engagement for better reach.
