Once you have clicked okay on Facebook, you will be returned to the Friendica configuration panel for the connector.
There are four options here:
There are four options here. The first two concern integration of your Facebook friends:
1) _Post to Facebook by default_ – If you select this, all your public posts from Friendica will also go to Facebook. If you don’t select it, your public posts will ignore your Facebook contacts. But whichever default behaviour you opt for can be changed on a per post basis by toggling the privacy settings in Friendica's post editor. NOTE: Posts to private groups that you have defined and which include Facebook contacts will _always_ go to those contacts, regardless of what you select here.
2) _Link all your Facebook friends and conversations on this website_ – You will most probably want to tick this one in order to see what your Facebook friends are doing from within Friendica (the connector usually doesn’t make much sense without it).
The next two options concern your own Facebook wall.
The next two options concern _your own_ Facebook wall.
3) Check _On this website your Facebook profile wall conversations will only be visible to you_, if you want to see your own posts (ones you publish on Facebook itself or send there via another connector) in your Friendica stream, along with comments from your Facebook friends. You will then see that content personally, but others on Friendica won’t be able to. They will only see the posts you issue from Friendica itself. For most people, this is a sensible option to check (more about that in a moment).

For most people, this is a sensible option to check (more about that in a moment).
4) _Do not import your Facebook profile wall conversations_ – Activating this option means that no one – not even you – will see the conversations you initiate on Facebook itself in their Friendica browsers. Most people will probably want to leave this option unchecked.
4) _Do not import your Facebook profile wall conversations_ – Activating this option means that no one – not even you – will see the conversations you initiate on Facebook itself. In this case, a post you publish on Facebook will simply stay on Facebook and won't be integrated in Friendica. Most people will probably want to leave this option unchecked.
Activating _neither_ of those two options means that your Facebook profile wall will be merged with your profile wall on Friendica – and your privacy settings on Friendica will be used to determine who may see the conversations.
_This can be very annoying to your contacts in some cases!_
Example: If you are cross-posting a lot using other connectors, a Friendica post may go to your blog on Wordpress and from there to Facebook as well. But when it is published on Facebook that way, Friendica will treat it as a separate post – and your contacts on Friendica will probably see two identical versions of it within a short space of time (along with pix or video links). This kind of duplication will irritate some and confuse others – and entertain almost no one. ;)
Example: If you are cross-posting a lot using other connectors, a Friendica post may go to your blog on Wordpress. Perhaps you have a Wordpress plugin that then sends it to Facebook automatically, too. But when it is published on Facebook that way, Friendica will treat it as a separate post – and your contacts on Friendica will probably see two identical versions of it within a short space of time (possibly along with huge pix or video links). This kind of duplication will irritate some and confuse others – and entertain almost no one. ;)
