Diaspora/Diaspora
-
Amy will not see any of Ben’s private posts.
-
Ben will not see Amy’s public or private posts in his stream.
-
But if Ben goes to Amy’s profile page, then he will see the private posts that Amy makes to the aspect that she has placed him in (as well as her public posts, which anyone can see there).
-
Ben will be able to see Amy’s private profile (biography, location, gender, birthday).
-
Amy will appear under “Only sharing with me” on Ben’s contacts page.
-
This is known as asymmetrical sharing. If and when Ben also adds Amy to an aspect then it would become mutual sharing, with both Amy’s and Ben’s public posts and relevant private posts appearing in each other’s streams, and Amy would be able to view Ben’s private profile. They would then also be able to send each other private messages.
-
Who are the people listed under “Only sharing with me” on my contacts page?
-
These are people that have added you to one of their aspects, but who are not (yet) in any of your aspects. In other words, they are sharing with you, but you are not sharing with them: you can think of this as them “following” you. If you add them to an aspect, they will then appear under that aspect and not under “Only sharing with me”. See above.
-
Is there a list of people whom I have added to one of my aspects, but who have not added me to one of theirs?
-
No, but you can see whether or not someone is sharing with you by visiting their profile page. If they are, there will be a green tick next to their diaspora* ID. If they are not, there will be a gray circle.
-
When I add someone to an aspect, can they see older posts that I have already posted to that aspect?
-
No. They will only be able to see new posts to that aspect. They (and everyone else) can see your older public posts on your profile page, and they may also see them in their stream.

Tags
-
What are tags for?
-
Tags are a way to categorize a post, usually by topic. Searching for a tag shows all posts, both public and private, with that tag that you have permission to see. This lets people who are interested in a given topic find public posts about it.
-
Can I put tags in comments or just in posts?
-
A tag added to a comment will still appear as a link to that tag’s page, but it will not make that post (or comment) appear on that tag page. This only works for tags in posts.
-
What are “#Followed Tags” and how do I follow a tag?
-
After searching for a tag you can click the button at the top of the tag’s page to “follow” that tag. It will then appear in your list of followed tags in the left-hand menu. Clicking one of your followed tags takes you to that tag’s page so you can see recent posts containing that tag. Click on #Followed Tags to see a stream of posts that include any one of your followed tags. Posts containing that tag will also be included in your main stream.
