How do I know if I am on someone's "Restricted List" on Facebook?

I have a Facebook friend that I rarely see any posts, statuses, etc. from. I was just wondering if perhaps I was on her restricted friend's list since we both work together. How would I know? Thanks so much. |

try searching her name and clicking on her profile. you will know then whether that's the case, or whether she doesn't post much or whether the facebook algorithm just doesn't keep you in her loop.
are you stalking her? |

You can't know for sure. If you go to her page and you see a bunch of posts that didn't show up in your newsfeed, then it's just the Facebook algorithm deciding that you two aren't closely connected. Like some of her photos or comment on a post or two, and she'll be back in your feed.
If you don't see many posts on her wall, she may not post much OR she may have you on restricted access. Impossible to know for certain. |

Wow...I just was wondering. Where the hell did you get the impression I was stalking her from? That was from left field. Get off here...Didn't you know that you need a parent's permission if you are under 18 on DCUrbanMoms? |

You asked a very creepy question, op. It's you who is being puerile, not me. Go ahead, honey. Look that word up. |

Not OP, but have a similar question, although I didn't think about being on a restricted list. My friend, admittedly distant, had a baby a few months ago and never see the pics she posts unless I go to her page. As recommended by a pp, I will start commenting/liking and see if that changes things. |

Everyone should take a look at their post permissions and make sure they are being shared so she sees them. I thought mine were being shared with my friends and friends of friends, and it turns out at some point in the near distant past, the permissions changed to only my old high school classmates. I changed it back and put up a status about it, and a girlfriend of mine said that hers had somehow changed to just herself, so essentially, she had been bitching to herself for darn near a month  Both of us have no idea how this happened.
It could be that's what's happened to this girl. You'd think my sister would have said something, but nope

| A lot of filtering is done by Facebook. As others suggested, like and comment on more of her posts and you will see more. It's kind of annoying to me that FB does this. For example, I'd like to see everything my husband posts, but I don't always.... Even though FB knows he is my husband. |

| try to tag her in a picture and look in her profile if you can see it, if no you are restricted from seeing her pics |

| I don't think it's creepy that OP is asking. Half of what Facebook is about is checking out others' pages. |

| You can change the settings so that you see all of a friend's posts (assuming they have given you permission to do so). Hover over the friend's name. Then friends/settings/all updates. |

| Go to their page, if you see that all of their posts only show a little globe next to them you are only seeing "public" posts just like any stranger. This is what happens when you are put in Restricted list. I just tested it. |
