Morphology
Fakebook + post
The phrase is a nonce blend (fake + Facebook) with 'post' used literally, so a learner who knows 'fake' and 'post' can likely infer it refers to an inauthentic or parody Facebook-style entry. However, the specific mocking/parodic nuance and recognition of the Facebook-targeted pun rely on cultural knowledge and wordplay, making the relation only partially predictable for a B1 learner.
Etymology
Fakebook post comes from the idea of making a 'fake' Facebook update; imagine a post that looks real on a made-up site called Fakebook but is changed to look silly to 'mock' real posts. That's why the phrase means a social media post that 'mocks' or makes fun of typical Facebook content.
