In this manner, can you block someone on Facebook without unfriending them?
You don't need to Block or Unfriend them, just hover over the drop down on one of their posts that appears on your feed and select 'Unfollow'.
Also Know, what happens when you restrict a friend on Facebook? Restricting someone means that the person will only see your public posts - they will only be able to see your posts when you choose Public as the audience, or when you tag them in the post. However, if you add a photo and tag your boss in that photo, or chose Public as the audience, they'll be able to see it.”
Similarly, how do you block someone on Facebook but still be friends?
No, blocking a friend also removes each of you from one another's Friends List. Perhaps what you are wanting is to unfollow the friend--you would no longer see that friend's posts in your News Feed, but the two of you would still be on each other's Friends List.
Can you see a blocked person on a mutual friend list?
Mutual friends can be a good indicator to see if you have been blocked. Navigate to a profile of someone who was a mutual friend with the person you suspect has blocked you. A list of some of her current friends is on their profile page. Click the "See All" link at the top of the list.
