At this point, it’s a very good idea to _Activate Real-Time Updates_ to get Facebook posts as they happen. If you don’t, the default Facebook poll interval is one hour. _(This interval can be decreased, but that would affect system resources dramatically and could make the system un-useable depending on the number of Facebook streams/items to process. With real-time updates, system resource usage will be significantly lower overall.)_

As an admin, you also have the option of checking the box to "synchronize comments" - which pertains to the problem of comments occasionally getting missed by the connector. _On a private server for yourself and a few friends or family members, you can safely activate this option with no further requirements._ But if you are running a public server with many users, you should consider using the lockfile mechanism for your poller before switching this feature on. A lockfile protects you against the problem of having multiple copies of poller.php running. Since that phenomenon could corrupt your database, and can be caused by a large number of Facebook contacts being polled, a lockfile constitutes a very sensible measure. To implement it, decide which directory it should reside in. It should be a directory that is writeable by the web server (e.g. _/var/www/friendica_ ). Then add a line like this to .htconfig.php:
