Yes, you can limit what someone sees on Facebook without blocking them by adjusting your profile's privacy settings. For individual posts, click the audience selector button (e.g., Friends, Public, Friends except...) before posting. To restrict someone's access to your posts more broadly, use the 'Restricted' option by going to their profile, clicking 'Friends' on their cover photo, and selecting 'Add to another list' > 'Restricted'. They'll remain your friend but will only see posts you share publicly or tag them in, helping maintain your privacy without severing connections.
