Facebook – Keep posts on Friends’ timelines from appearing on mine

It appears there's no way to do this, unfortunately.

What I ended up doing was to do the going-forward arrangement, and then work back a couple of months, making corrections manually (#1). Better than nothing. There is also the issue of my comments on others' posts being visible. In my case, I think this is "good enough", though I do wish there was a better solution available (without programmering).

It might be possible to use the Facebook API to achieve this, but I didn't see anything ready-made with some quick searching.

When you post, click on More Options, then Custom to only show it to a select list of people.

To hide your likes from certain people, do the following. On your timeline, click on Likes, then Edit, then a Category blue triangle and then Custom.
