Scraper returning only "welcome new members" posts
Hi — I'm trying to use the official apify/facebook-groups-scraper to extract posts from a public Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/285614534784157). No matter what settings I use, the scraper consistently returns only automated "Let's welcome our new members!" posts.
I've tried:
Sorting by "New posts" (20 posts) — all welcome posts
Sorting by "Most relevant" (20 posts) — all welcome posts
The group is public and all posts are visible to logged-out users in a regular browser, so it doesn't appear to be an access issue.
Is this a known limitation with this group or this type of group? Is there a setting or workaround that would get me actual discussion posts instead? Happy to provide run logs if helpful. Thank you!!!
