How to share a link to a post

To share a specific post or picture:

  • Click on the publication date.
  • Use the “Share” button or copy the link from your browser bar.
  • The link will contain information about the time and date of the entry. Example of a publication link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/0000000/?multi_permalinks=3785971888174891&hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen. It leads to the individual page of the entry, not the general feed.

How to send a link to an entry to a specific user

To forward an entry:

  1. Copy its URL from the browser bar.
  2. Go to the friend's page.
  3. Click “Send Message” and paste the link.

Important!

Make sure your privacy settings allow you to share your posts:

  • Under “Who can see your postings?”, select “Available to everyone”.
