I posted a picture in a Facebook group that I’m a member of. A friend of mine who is against the ideals of the group left a snide comment on it. So my question is, is there any way for your Facebook friends not to see pictures that you post in groups that they’re not a member of? ---

You are presumably posting in an open group. If the group is closed or secret then non members won’t see what is posted. [https://www.facebook.com/help/412300192139228/](https://www.facebook.com/help/412300192139228/) ---

Your best bet is to delete the pic and send him a polite note to leave your postings in this group alone. If he refuses de-friend him. The group can go closed but that sort of defeats the purpose of group trying to attract members. [What are the privacy options for Facebook groups](https://www.facebook.com/help/220336891328465)
