Did your friend post something hilarious on Facebook, and you want to share it with the people you know? Facebook allows you to quickly repost things that others have posted, including status updates, images, videos, and more. When you use the "Share" feature on a friend's post, you will essentially be making a new post without any of the likes and comments. If you want to preserve the likes and comments on a post, liking it or commenting on it yourself will bump it to the top of your friends' feeds.

Reposting with Comments and Likes

  1. Find the content that you want to repost to your feed. If you want to maintain a post or picture's Likes and comments when you repost it, you'll need to comment on it. You can comment on someone's post or picture.
    • You can also use this method to repost an old post made by you or a friend. Find the original post (you may have to go back through their Timeline) and then read on.
    • This isn't exactly "reposting", but it is the only way to bump a post to the top of people's feeds without losing the Likes and comments. If you use the "Share" feature on a post, it will make a new post and remove the likes and comments.
  2. Make a comment on the post or picture you want to "repost". This will send it to the top of your feed, which will show up on your friends' feeds. You can do this for old posts that you want to bring back to the top, or with posts that your friends might not normally see.
    • You can also Like the old post, but this is less likely to send it back to the top.
  3. Avoid the Share button if you want to keep comments and Likes. This will make a new post with the same content on your own feed. It won't keep the original comments and Likes, but you will control the post.

Sharing Something with Your Friends

  1. Find what you want to repost. You can repost virtually anything that is posted by someone else. Scroll through your feed to find the status, picture, link, or any other post that you want to share with others. The only posts you cannot repost are those from secret groups.
    • This will not preserve the original post's Likes and comments. If you want to repost something that someone else posted and keep all of the Likes and comments, you'll need to reply to the original post with a new comment.
  2. Click the Share link. This is located underneath the post but above the Likes and comments.
  3. Choose where you want to repost the item. When you click the Share link a new window will appear. Use the drop-down menu at the top of the new window to choose where you want to repost the item. You can choose to share to your own timeline, a friend's timeline, in one of your groups, or in a private message.
    • If you select to share on a friend's timeline, you will be asked to enter in the name of the friend.
    • If you select to share with a group, you will be asked to enter the group's name.
    • If you select to share through a private message, you will be asked to enter recipients.
  4. Add a new message. When you repost something, you are given the opportunity to add a new message to the item. This message will appear on the top of the reposted item, with any original message appearing below.
    • You can tag people in the message by typing "@" followed by the person's name.
  5. Choose to attribute the original poster. By default, when a post is shared it will display who originally posted it. You can choose to remove this message by clicking the Remove link next to the original poster's name.
  6. Choose your privacy options. You can use the drop-down menu at the bottom of the window to choose which of your friends can see your repost. You can choose it to be Public, visible to only your friends, visible only to you, or you can choose from your lists.
  7. Share the post. Once you're happy with your sharing options, you can repost the post by clicking the Share button. The post will appear in the timeline or message that you designated.
    • Depending on the privacy settings of the original post, you may not be able to share it with everyone.

Tips

  • These steps work on mobile versions of Facebook as well.
  • If the post does not have a Share link, you will need to copy and paste the contents of the post into your own Facebook post.
