All about aspects
Tutto sui gruppi -
Think of your life and the people you know. Each person is a part of one or more aspects of your life. They might be a member of your family, a close friend, a work colleague or someone you play sport or music with or with whom you share a particular interest. They might be someone you just like sharing jokes with online. Or they might be part of more than one of these aspects of your life.

Pensa alla tua vita e ai gruppi di persone che conosci. Ogni persona è una parte di uno o più aspetti della tua vita. Potre essere un membro della tua famiglia, un amico vicino, un collega di lavoro o qualcuno con cui pratichi uno sport e della musica o con cui condividi un interesse particolare. Potrebbe essere qualcuno con cui condividi semplicemente battute sui social. Oppure potrebbe essere qualcuno che fa parte di più di uno di questi aspetti della tua vita. -
diaspora* works in exactly the same way. You place contacts into one or more “aspects” of your life on diaspora* based on which aspect(s) of your life they are part of. In this way, you control which of your contacts sees each post you make to diaspora*, by posting to a particular aspect or aspects. This means that you can easily share the right things with the right people. We’ll explain more about what posting to aspects means over the next three parts of this series.

Diaspora* funziona esattamente allo stesso modo. Si posizionano i contatti in uno o più "gruppi" della vostra vita su Diaspora* in base a quale aspetto (o aspetti) della tua vita fanno parte. In questo modo, è possibile controllare quali contatti vedono ogni post che pubblichi su Diaspora*, selezionando uno o più gruppi a cui rivolgerti. Ciò significa che è possibile condividere facilmente le cose prescelte con le persone prescelte. Ti piegheremo di più su come funzionano i gruppi nei prossimi tre passi di questa serie. -
When you sign up you are given four aspects: Family, Work, Friends and Acquaintances. Of course you won’t be able to sort all of your life into just four standard aspects, so the next thing we’re going to do is to add some aspects. You can also delete the default aspects if you want to.

Quando ti iscrivi ti appaiono quattro gruppi: famiglia, lavoro, amici e conoscenti. Naturalmente non sarai in grado di ordinare tutta la tua vita in soli quattro gruppi standard, perciò il prossimo passo che andremo a fare è aggiungere dei gruppi. È anche possibile eliminare i gruppi di default, se vuoi. -

Choose a name for the new aspect. This might reflect the common connection between these people, perhaps “Creative writing,” “Football,” or “Activists,” but you can call it whatever you like. <strong>No one else will ever be able to see the names of your aspects, and your contacts will never know which aspect(s) they are in. That is your business alone.</strong>

First, let’s look at the “My aspects” menu. From your stream, click <span class="click">My aspects</span> in the sidebar. A list of your aspects will drop down, and you’ll see a stream containing only posts made by people you have placed into whichever aspects are selected in the list. If you’ve only just signed up, there will be just the four default aspects, and there might not yet be anyone in any of your aspects. We’ll fix that very soon!
