Answer 1

For getting data if posted by friends

SELECT
  u.UserID, u.Name , p.Post , fc.Name 
FROM
  users as u,
  FriendCategory as fc,
  Subscribers as s,
  Friends as f,
  Posts as p 
WHERE
  f.UserID=1
  and fc.id=f.FriendCategory
  and p.UserID = f.FriendID
group by fc.Name

You can do it similarly for getting data to i am subscribedto .

c) If User is My Friend Subscribed as Well Then it Must Show Friend
not i am Subscribed

Well, i didn’t get what you were trying to say here .
