And if your plan is for your content to trend, you must toggle the switch so your post can be shared by anyone irrespective of whether they are on your list or not.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW WHEN SHARING ON FACEBOOK?
Before deciding to make your post seen by a particular audience, there are things you would likely want to know especially if you just joined the giant social media platform.
By changing to a particular audience, it becomes the yardstick when you post again unless you change to another. Also, it immediately becomes the settings across all devices.
When you post or comment on someone’s profile/post, the person is provided the right to set who can see it. He can decide to make it available for the public, friends, or as he deems fit. Also, a particular comment made to your post can be hidden, and by hiding, it means no one will see it except that person and their friends.
If the selector is set to public, anyone will be able to see your post. If you are not sure you are ready for that, you can make your Facebook private or limit it to a particular group.
Search engines do pick posts as well, any post on your wall might appear on search results unless you set them not to index. Your posts will also appear on your profile and newsfeed as well.
Lastly, if you have locked your Facebook profile, then it becomes even more restricted. In this case, the public are entirely shut out. If they are unable to see your posts, then sharing becomes impossible.
