Facebook Notifications – Hide Notifications About Your Post on Others’ Pages

facebookfacebook-timeline

I think it will be better if I explain my problem by example.

We have given two Facebook profiles: A and B. A is our profile and B is e.g public fan page profile with public visibility.

  1. Person A publishes post on B's wall.
  2. Now person B writes a comment under person A's post.
  3. Person B gives a "like" on A's post (wrote on his own wall)

Do friends of A person receive notification about A's activity in their news feed in cases: 1, 2, 3?

Best Answer

  1. Friends of A may see A's activity in their news feeds in case 1.
  2. Subscribers of B who also posted on A's post on B's wall may also see B's activity in their news feeds in case 2.
  3. Subscribers of B may see B's activity in their news feeds in case 3.

Note that I use the word "may" because Facebook chooses what is relevant to show in News Feeds per user, based on each user's number of friends/subscriptions/specialize lists, the popularity of the post, etc. In any case, everything you can see should always show up in the news ticker, which takes more of a "fire hose" approach to showing updates, whereas the news feed attempts to show you only the most relevant news.
