Can acquaintances see posts on my timeline?
Who can see what is posted on your timeline depends on audience selected for the post, as well as who is included in your Acquaintances group.The friends you have added to the group Acquaintances will see your post if it is set to an audience that includes those people (Public, Friends, or Acquaintances), unless you specifically exclude Acquaintances from the post (e.g, “Friends; Except: Acquaintances).See more in the Facebook Help Center.

I can't see any of my boyfriend's facebook posts?
I can only see ones I' have personally made on his wall or general updates.General updates include changing of profile picture, mutual good friends added (way past), and changing of cover photos. I can't see barely anything on his about section either. I have looked at his privacy settings personally and looked at his "View as" page with my name on it, and still it comes up the same. I am not blocked from seeing his profile in any way, there is no one that is blocked on his friends list from seeing his posts. How do I fix this? Facebook won't help me, I've asked thrice and have gotten automated responses.....
How do I hide my likes and comments from my friends on Facebook?
You can't set custom audiences for comments and likes ("C/L"); rather C/L are generally visible to anyone who can see the post that was commented on or "liked"; this means that if you C/L on a public page, your friends could (and for that matter, theoretically anyone at all, though it's much less likely that a random non-friend would) see that. FB maintain a database of actions, including comments and likes. A handful of these will turn up in your friends' News Feeds. You can see what actions you've recently done by going into your own profile and clicking "Activity Log" (so far, this functionality is somewhat limited in the mobile app). You can right-click on the time of the action and bring up a window that looks like this (approximating what your friends might see):This will tell you who can see the post (in this case people who are friends with the person who posted it). If you have poster's remorse in that you think someone could have seen what you did and you don't like it, you can "delete comment" or "unlike" the post from the little pencil in your activity log as so:I kind of agree with the earlier comment in that I don't worry about this for myself. That's sort of the whole point of Facebook. But if you absolutely MUST "comment" on or "like" a post without your friends knowing, you could make a second Facebook account or unfriend the people you don't want to know (technically, though, making a second account is against FB's terms of service).
If I snooze someone for 30 days on Facebook, does that mean they can’t see my public posts either?
A Snooze is somewhere between Not Following/Acquaintance and a Block.They will continue to see what your post, depending on their settings of you on their account. You will not see them in your news feed but will be able to see their comments and replies to others. Mostly it suspends the onslaught of Meme posts that some do up to 10–15 daily each with their particular favorite political slant. I often Snooze friends just to get the relief from their over zealous activity trying to convince the word how evil it is.After 30 days, they will return to your News Feed.You can also set them to being an Acquaintance and not a Good Friend. You can select to not follow. Good Friend and Follow seem to be default settings when a friendship connection is made.You can also suspend any interaction with them when you see their posts. If you essentially ignore their posts by not responding in any way at all they will drop down the list that News Feed selects to show you in-between the many many ads and sponsored posts. Last count we did had an Ad/Sponsored post show up every 3–4 posts in the news feed. They take up a lot of real estate on your Feed and there is not much you can do. That is why FB is so good at wasting your time.
Many of my facebook friends keep posting things with profanity in it. What to do?
You can either unsubscribe from these people's posts by going to their profile. Or, if you feel that they've posted something which is absolutely vulgar and obscene, you can report that particular post or number of posts to Facebook. Facebook will never tell anyone who reported the content but will definitely take the right actions needed. And yes of course, you can unfriend them as well.. :)
In Facebook what's the difference between "like" and "follow" a page?
Yes, this is a bit confusing at first but the difference is simple :)Liking a Business PageWhen someone likes your page on Facebook, they automatically follow your page as well. This means that your page will be listed in their ‘liked’ directory and your posts will be seen in their feed.Following a Business PageFacebook users also have the option to follow a page without hitting the like button. These types of followers will still see your posts in their newsfeed, but they won’t be considered a like on your page. This option was set up for people who didn’t want to befriend someone on Facebook but still wanted to see their posts.What’s More Important, Likes or Follows?For page owners, the most important metric is page followers as these are the people who have opted to see your content in their newsfeed. However, in practice there is usually a very small difference between the number of page followers and page likes on a page.If you found this answer helpful, follow me for more: Daragh Walsh
How does Facebook choose which updates to display in the news feed?
Facebook makes its money from ads. In order to show users more ads, it needs to keep people on its News Feed for a longer time. However, if Facebook drastically showed a lot more ads, engagement would go down. So, there is a fine balancing act that the News Feed algorithm has to play here.To maximize the probability that people will engage with posts in the news feed, Facebook has devised an algorithm based on about 100,000 personalized factors.The four key components are:Who posted it. The News Feed recommends more posts from people whom you have interacted with more (interactions could be messages, tags, comments, reactions, etc.).The quality of the post. Posts that have more likes and comments are more likely to show up at the top of the News Feed since Facebook believes that people are more likely to engage with posts that are popular and interesting.The type of post. Facebook figures out what kinds of posts (articles, videos, photos, etc.) you interact with a lot and shows you more posts in these formats.Recency. Newer stories are ranked higher.To make users more likely to scroll down the News Feed, Facebook also incorporates other factors into its algorithm. For instance, a post on which many people commented "congratulations" is probably a post about an important life event, so it is ranked higher. An article that you liked after clicking gets a boost compared to one that is liked before clicking. This is because liking an article after you clicked it probably means you read and liked the content.Roughly 2 billion people look at their News Feed each day, if not each month, so it has tremendous power not only to expose large populations to ads, but also to influence our moods and even who we are going to vote for.
