How To Hide A Post Without The Poster Knowing????

Kinda late in the game to be doing this.

For next time - create a list with everyone on it who you want to see this except for this person. Then just share to that list.

OK, but the other person did the posting. Is it possible to hide that person's posts that I don't want "broadcast" to everyone but them and the ones that liked it?

Also - is it possible to edit the post without a notification that it's been edited sent to the original poster or anything indicated that I edited it?

Go to your timeline page.
Click the three dots to the right of the View Activity Log link to display choices.
Select timeline settings.
Once there, go to the Who can see things on my timeline section.
Click on Who can see what others post on your timeline?
Choices are everyone, friends friends of friends, only me and custom
Select custom.
In the Don't Share This With section add names of people you don't shared with others on your timeline.
Save changes.


Test it.

You can't edit a post authored by anyone but yourself.

I did as you instructed, then had a friend log on and see if the post could be seen. He could not see it.

Question: By doing this, will the original poster and the people who liked it (2 or 3 others) still be able to see it, or will it be invisible to them, as well?

I don't know. Test it by reversing the privacy setting, have your friend like the post, change the setting back and have friend log in and tell you if he sees it.

Why not just ask the original poster to edit their post?

It's a long, long story....sometimes you have to pick which hill you want to die on....

Also - if I hide something from my timeline, can the poster still see it, and, do they get a notice that it's been hidden?

I have no idea. Test it with a friend and let us know the results.

Well, I tested it and found that, if you hide someone's post, they can no longer see it, just like everyone else.
