Unfollow people you don't want to see in your News Feed but don't want to completely unfriend.

From someone's profile in the Facebook mobile app, tap on "Following" under their profile picture and then "Unfollow" to get rid of their posts completely. On the desktop site, click the drop-down arrow to the right of a post to unfollow a person.

Tell people how to pronounce your name correctly.
Know the distinction between a "friend" and a "follower" on Facebook.
There are two ways you can connect with someone on Facebook: by becoming friends with them, and by following them.
Being friends means that you and the other person have approved the connection and likely know each other, while following an account means that the person hasn't added you back as a friend.
When someone follows you, they'll only see posts you share publicly. You can turn off the ability for people to follow your account at any time from the "Followers" section of your account settings.
When you share a post, you can choose to hide it from specific people.
Your Facebook posts can be shared with your friends, friends and friends of friends, or anyone who views your profile.
You can select these sharing options on a case-by-case basis from the drop-down menu at the top right of a post. On the mobile app, select "Edit Privacy" and select one of the options. From the desktop, just click the little friends or globe icon next to a post's time stamp.
See what your profile looks like to people who aren't your friends.
This is handy for seeing what on your profile is visible to others, including individual friends you may have hidden certain information from in the past.
When you're logged into Facebook on the desktop website, go to your profile, click the ellipsis and then "View as..."
Hide your list of friends from everyone but you.
If for some reason you don't want people seeing who you're friends with, you can hide the list entirely.
From your friends list on the desktop, click the "Manage" pen icon on the right and then "Edit Privacy." Then you can change who can see your friends list, the people you follow, and your followers.
Hide your relationship-status change from your friends.
Hide specific photo albums and events on your timeline.
If you have certain photo albums you don't want people seeing, but don't feel like deleting them completely, you can hide them so only you can see them on Facebook. The same goes for events in your life, whether they be relationship changes, new jobs, or whatever.
Just take note of the little gray icon next to a photo album or post. Two little people mean that it can only be seen by your friends, a globe means it's public, and a padlock means only you can see it.
Block people from being able to contact you.
If someone is spamming you with messages or you just want to make sure they can't see your profile, go to their profile page and click on the three dots to the far right. Select "Block."

Too many notifications?
Unsubscribe from notifications for posts you've commented on.
When you get a notification for a comment or like on a post on Facebook's desktop site, click the "X" to the right of the notification and then "Turn off."
The reverse is also true. You can turn on notifications for activity on any post from the right drop-down arrow.

This takes stalking to the next level: You can search for posts liked or commented on by one of your friends.
Search for specific keywords and topics, not just profiles and pages.
Make lists to separate groups of people you're friends with, like school friends and work colleagues.
Designating groups within your list of friends can be useful to filter between what everyone is talking about in your News Feed. For instance, you may want to see what everyone from your hometown is sharing or just your friends from college.
Facebook
creates list of friends by default based on
common affiliation, whether it be the same
hometown, school, etc. On Facebook's desktop
site you can see all of your friend lists from this page
and add people to them. This creates individual
News Feeds within Facebook for you to browse.
Give yourself a short bio.
Facebook lets you create a short bio for yourself that sits above your other profile information, such as city, work, and relationship status.
You can edit it at any time from your profile on the desktop site and mobile app.
