[SOLVED] How to prevent others from entering my home directory?

I ran "chmod 710 ~" on my home, and "ls -lhd ~" shows
drwx--x---+ 1 me me 718 Aug 11 11:26 /home/me

but I run "su" and "sudo -u nobody bash"
"id" shows
uid=65534(nobody) gid=65534(nobody) groups=65534(nobody)

So I think I shouldn't be able to enter /home/me, but it's not the fact.
I can still enter /home/me, and if I knows the directory name, for example "/home/me/.config", and I can still "cd /home/me/.config" and "ls", and even more "cat filename" to get some file's content.

Could anyone tell me how to prevent this from happening?
I installed lxd from snap( lxd from the package always hangs and ca't start, I don't know why) and lxc from package, maybe it's the reason?

Yes!
I run "setfacl -b me" and "chmod 710 me", the problem has been fixed
