Determining if someone is hiding their Facebook posts from you can be challenging. However, some indicators include noticing a sudden drop in their activity on your feed despite them being active on Facebook or not seeing posts you know they've shared with mutual friends. Since Facebook doesn't notify users when they've been restricted, another indirect method is by comparing the visible posts when logged in versus viewing their profile as a public user. If there's a discrepancy, it's possible they've limited what you can see.
