-
Who can comment on, reshare, or like my public post?
-
Any logged-in diaspora* user can comment on, reshare, or like your public post. The exception to this is people you have ignored, who won’t be able to like or comment on your posts.
-
When I comment on, reshare, or like a public post, who can see it?
-
Comments, likes, and reshares of public posts are also public. Any logged-in diaspora* user and anyone else on the internet can see your interactions with a public post.
-
What happens when I deselect one or more aspects in the left-hand column when making a public post?
-
Deselecting aspects does not affect a public post. It will still be public and will appear in the streams of all of your contacts. To make a post visible only to specific aspects, you need to select those aspects from the aspect selector under the publisher.
-
Resharing posts
-
Can I reshare a public post to selected aspects?
-
No, when you reshare a public post it automatically becomes one of your public posts. To share it with certain aspects, copy and paste the contents of the post into a new, limited post.
-
Can I reshare a private post to selected aspects?
-
No, it is not possible to reshare any private post. This is to respect the intentions of the original poster, who shared it only with a particular group of people.
-
Sharing
-
What happens when I add someone to one of my aspects, or when someone adds me to one of their aspects?
-
Let’s say that Amy adds Ben to an aspect, but Ben has not (yet) added Amy to an aspect:
-
Ben will receive a notification that Amy has “started sharing” with Ben.
-
Amy will start to see Ben’s public posts in her stream.
-
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).
