I just learned friends can see when you reply to comments

Hi. I've known for a while that when you comment on TikToks, the TikTok will also show up on your friends feed, and they will see the comment directly at the top. I stopped commenting directly and instead started replying to comments to avoid visibility. However, I just learned that even comments as replies to other comments will also show up on your friend's feed with the original comment and your replied to comment at the top. I learned this from switching between my main account and burner account. I'm mortified. Has this always been the case? Any way to stop the visibility?
