What does this mean on fb ??

XylophoneSymphony · 20/04/2020 08:08

On every group I’ve ever been on public private or secret if I make a comment it just comes up

Recently on one group it seems to have changed and under my name will say ‘commented on by ’
I asked the admin and tbey said nothing has changed but I was worried as it’s a private group and not content I want on my timeline

My privacy settings look ok but I wondered why this has changed on just the one group and what it means doesn’t happen anywhere else ?
Thanks

Not entirely sure what you mean. Do you mean you are getting notifications when someone comments on your post?

What comes up??

I get what you mean. I think it only happens in groups where settings are "Public" - so if you don't want a comment of yours showing up on someone else's timeline, then look at the group's privacy settings and make your decision from there.

No not notifications
It’s directly under the comment I made it weirdly said ‘commented on by ’ ??? I’ve never had that before under a comment I’ve made
The group is private

I use Facebook a lot for groups and I've never seen that, there is a new version of FB being tested, have you changed to that? I did but didn't like the look so changed straight back.

Maybe I’m not explaining right if I comment on any group in on it’ll show my comment and under will say

It’s really weird I deleted my comment and asked admin who said nothings changed but it’s happened only in the last week or so on one group only ? It’s odd because why would it say commented on by me when obviously it was me ?!

I’m ultra paranoid as it’s not stuff I want on my actual timeline at all

No I haven’t changed anything and I didn’t have this on any other group. I’m just wondering if it’s the group changing from public to private and back again and I didn’t realise?
But it’s meant to be a private group and they said they hadn’t although there have Ben other issues on there it’s really put me off posting now tbh as I fee like it may not be totally private

But that's your timeline so no-one else will see it apart from you?

I wasnt sure as I’d never seen it before on any comment I’d ever made
