FACEBOOK! Can I customise who sees my posts without having to do it every time for every little post?

My FB friends are 2 totally different people (different language, culture and interests). One of my German speaking "friends" complained that she's getting a lot of my Arabic posts filling up her page!!! Is there a way to divide them and control who sees which post without having to go through my 300 contacts every single time? Thanks!

Yes, you can set up as many lists as you like within your friends. If you look at the side of your newsfeed page, right at the bottom is a link saying 'friends'. Click that, and you'll see a place where you can create lists. The best way to do that is to have useful names, like (in your case) 'Arabic speakers' and 'German speakers' and then you can add as many friends as you wish to each one. The easiest way to do that is actually to add just one or two, then save the list, and then edit it as it will allow you to choose from your entire friends list.

People can be in all your lists, or some, or none... and you can have other categories. FB automatically sets up some, like close friends, family, local friends, etc, but they don't always get those right so you can change them as you like, and create as many more as you want to.

After the lists are set up, you can simply select one (or more) of the lists to see a post. That will remain your default until you change it, so if you want to post several updates to your Arabic-speaking friends, you can select them once and then post.
