Facebook makes it possible to like individual user posts as well as public events and interest pages. Unfortunately, Facebook does not allow you to hide likes on individual user posts. However, you can remove likes from your activity log, and you're able to hide any likes you make to public profiles and interest pages.

Community Q&A

Question

When I read the names who have liked something and I see "And one more" at the bottom, is the one more person being kept hidden for some reason?

Community Answer

No, Facebook just has a space limitation that they handle by adding "and X more." If you click on the names listed, you will be able to see that extra person.

Warnings

Hiding posts from timelines removes them from the main timeline on your dash. Events you like don't appear on your profile page unless you share them.

Once again, you're unable to hide individual posts likes. When viewing your likes in the Activity Log, you can see the default settings of each posts. These cannot be changed by you, only by the creator of that post or community.
