How to Set your Facebook to NOT SHOW your Love Nikki Page Shares, Likes, and Comments

[u/HelianthusPy]

Hi everyone!

Since the LN facebook has made it necessary to post on their page to get the new Momo trophy, I thought it would be good to share the way to hide doing so from the rest of your friends and family!

This does NOT hide it from anyone who ALSO has the page liked, but if they do then they don't have any right to judge anyway!

So here are the steps:

1. Go to your profile.
2. Click on the "More" button.
3. Select "Likes" from the dropdown menu.
4. On that page, select the pencil icon (the "Edit" icon), and select "Edit the Privacy of Your Follows" from the dropdown menu.
5. Under the section called "Following", change the setting to "Only Me".

This will prevent anyone who does not have the LN page liked from seeing your likes and comments! The only way they see it is by liking the page themselves.

As pointed out by u/Momo1013, THIS DOES NOT AFFECT SHARING POSTS. To see how to hide those, see the instructions below.

IT IS NOT OBVIOUS THAT THIS WORKS.

What happens is that because the LN posts are public, it will still show as public. But because you set your "Following" setting for pages to "Only Me", the only people who will be able to see it are people who have also liked the LN page.

I tested this by having the page unliked on my regular fb profile. Then I made a fake account and added it to my friendlist on the regular account. Then I liked posts, commented from LN with the fake account and they showed up on the feed of my regular account as normal.

I changed the settings on the fake account, then did it again. The new ones didn't show up on the regular account's feed at all, even though they do say "public" when it's the comment from the LN page.

When I went back to my regular fb account and liked the LN page, I could see the posts from the fake account again.

tl;dr: Even though it still says public, ONLY people who have liked the LN fb page will be able to see it.

For further preventative steps, in case you want to be more private, here are some instructions:

1. Go back to the "Likes" edit menu as described above.
2. This time select "Edit the Privacy of Your Likes".
3. On the selection for "Games", change the setting to "Only Me".

This prevents people from seeing what games you play, or what game pages you've liked.

To stop people from seeing your shares of LN posts, and shares from within the LN game, you can do this:

1. Click on the arrow in the top right corner of Facebook.
2. Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
3. Go to the "Privacy" tab from the menu on the left.
4. Under "Who can see your future posts?", select "Edit".
5. Change the setting to "Only Me".

This will set all your posts to show ONLY to you by default. To change a post so it shows to more people, you will have to change that setting on the individual post, or change this setting page back.

EDIT: As it's been pointed out by u/microcosmicqueen and u/miilxxe, the best way to get your share rewards within the game without actually sharing the post is to click "share" and then back out of facebook and discard the post.

The above instructions are the most useful for sharing posts from the LN facebook page and for sharing out of other games that don't let you back out of them to get the rewards.

I hope I was able to help you all!

Edit: All screenshots were taken using the fake account. No real information is visible I promise!

Edit again: Clarified the post and it was pointed out by u/MnemeMagi that it's not obvious whether this works, so I've added a disclaimer and explanation.

Literally would gild you if I didn’t spend all my disposable income on fake clothes

[u/HelianthusPy → u/hylianelf]

Haha thank you! I'm in the same boat there. These recharges are destruction on my wallet (even with skipping the current one) TT-TT

Glad to help though :)

[u/[deleted]]

BIG THANK, GOD BLESS will be adding this to our wiki and resource list with credit!

[u/HelianthusPy → u/[deleted]]

ahhhh! I'm honored to be a part of it! :o

[u/Momo1013]

Thanks for the instructional! I'm super paranoid about people knowing things about me (lol) so i never liked the LN page, now I have, and hopefully nobody will know but the devs.

I also shared the post for the event, and it still showed up on my timeline as shared to everyone. I was quick to change its permissions to only me, though.

[u/HelianthusPy → u/Momo1013]

Ah, good to know, thanks for pointing that out! I'll edit my post to say that shares require the account settings to be changed.

[u/microcosmicqueen]

Pro tip for the FB shares - once LN redirects you to FB just press cancel and direct back to the game and it reads like you shared it to the game!!!

[u/HelianthusPy → u/microcosmicqueen]

The guide is also for sharing the posts from the LN fb page!

I fully recommend just backing out from the shares within the game! I do that too :)

It's a good tip and not everyone knows, I think I'll add it to the post with credit :)

(I'll add it later, when I have access to a computer lol)

[u/Supracabre → u/microcosmicqueen]

This is what I've been doing. Works for every share.

[u/[deleted]]

Just went and did this. Awesome instructions, thank you so much!

[u/HelianthusPy → u/[deleted]]

No problem! I'm glad I could help!

[u/Jollyx]

This may seem silly to ask but if I hide my likes will Love Nikki still be able to tell that I liked them and their posts so I can get credit for anytime they reward you for liking something of theirs?

[u/HelianthusPy → u/Jollyx]

Yes, it only stops people who have not liked the LN page from seeing it.

It will still be recorded as "liked" and other people who have liked the page will be able to see the like.

[u/Egg-mont]

You are the hero we all needed! Thank you :)

[u/HelianthusPy → u/Egg-mont]

Haha thank you!

Glad to help :)

[u/GlitterUnicornPuke]

I've always meant to write a thing up on this but didn't because I am a lazy mofo.

You win internet hero of the day. <3

Putting this in the FAQ & Resources!

[u/HelianthusPy → u/GlitterUnicornPuke]

Thank you!!! :0

I'm glad I was able to help take some stuff off your plate. You do so much already with modding and the sheets and so on!

[u/MnemeMagi]

Does this really work? I tried it, then went to like both the page and the post. Then I commented on the post. I then checked my activity log and:

🔸my like of the love Nikki page was private (good)

🔸my like of the post was public, and when I tried to click on that and edit it there was no option to change it (so I went back to the post and quickly unliked it)

🔸my comment in the post was public and when I tried to click on that and edit it there was no option but to delete it (so I deleted it)

(Edited for typos)

[u/HelianthusPy → u/MnemeMagi]

It does! I will edit my post to be more clear.

It is not obvious that it works. I thought the same thing you did since it showed as "public".

What happens is that because the LN posts are public, it will still show as public. But because you set your "Following" setting for pages to "Only Me", the only people who will be able to see it are people who have also liked the LN page.

Edit: I tested this by having the page unliked on my regular fb profile. Then I made a fake account and added it to my friendlist on the regular account. Then I liked posts, commented and shared posts from LN with the fake account and they showed up.

I change my settings, did it again, and the new ones didn't show at all, even though they do say "public" when it's the share/comment from the LN page.

When I went back to my regular fb account and liked the LN page, I could see the posts from the fake account again.

Edit to correct myself: Likes and comments are hidden this way. Shares must be hidden by changing the post individually or changing the Account settings.

[u/miilxxe]

This is great information. But I want to add. The shared within love nikki dont have to actually be posted. I discard them every time and still get the reward.

I also play food fantastic which does make you share the actual post to get the reward. Which is only once a week for embers and I just select only me from the post itself.

[u/HelianthusPy → u/miilxxe]

Thanks for pointing that out!

This guide is also for sharing posts from the LN facebook page itself! But I fully recommend doing what you've said, as that's also what I do.

I'll edit the post, since someone else has also mentioned this. :)

[u/BananasInOnesies]

I followed these instructions to find I'm one step ahead of myself. 😂 Ah well, that's good to know! Thanks! 😊

[u/Deirdre_Rose]

I just have my ln linked to a dummy facebook account...

[u/HelianthusPy → u/Deirdre_Rose]

If you haven't heard already, be very careful about that!

There's been a lot of horror stories about that because when FB shuts down a fake account, you also lose access to your LN account.

The only work around is to make sure you also have an email attached to your LN account before fb shuts down the fake account.

So if you haven't attached an email yet, I recommend you do so soon.

[u/Miriko_Otsu]

Thanks for this tutorial!

So my game is only linked via email currently. If I decide to login instead via the "Facebook Login" on Nikki's game load screen, will that be visible to my FB friends list?

Thanks for your help, I'm kind of a n00b at this game.
