To make a public post, just set the aspect selector button to <span class="click">Public</span>, and type your post. If you didn’t do it earlier, why not introduce yourself to the diaspora* community by including the <span class="click">#newhere</span> tag? This way, people who follow that tag will see your post and be able to welcome you. Include some of your interests as #tags as well, and you’ll find that people with similar interests to you will find you. Your message might be something like:

Of course, you might not want to make a public post. If not, that’s fine: the important thing is that you know how to do it.

Interacting with posts in the stream

The content stream is a real-time display of status messages. Whenever someone you follow posts a status message, it gets added to the stream. Naturally you can comment on your own posts and those made by other people. You can also “like” and “reshare” other people’s messages and, if someone posts something you really don’t want to see, you can hide it. All of this happens in the content stream, which can be found just below the publisher.

Innholds-streamen er en fremvisning i sanntid for statusmeldinger. Når noen du følger poster en statusmelding, blir den lagt inn i stream-en. Du kan naturligvis kommentere på dine egne poster og de som er laget av andre folk. Du kan også «like» og «videredele» andre folk sine meldinger og, dersom noen poster onen du virkelig ikke ønsker å se, kan du skjule det. Alt dette foregår i innholds-streamen, som er å finne rett under publisereren. -
Don’t forget that there are different content streams depending on which of the “views” you are using: <span class="click">Stream</span>, <span class="click">My activity</span>, <span class="click">@Mentions</span>, <span class="click">My aspects</span> or <span class="click">#Followed tags</span>. While this alters which posts appear in your stream, you can interact with those posts in the same way in any of these views.

If you are currently sharing with that person, removing them from your aspects will stop many of their posts from appearing in your stream. A more complete method is to “ignore” that account. This will prevent any of their posts from appearing in your stream, and they will no longer be able to like or comment on your posts. They will, however, still be able to reshare your posts, comment on reshares of your posts, and their comments on posts by other people which appear in your stream will still be visible to you.

Hvis du opplever at en persons poster er irriterende, kjedelige eller krenker deg,kan du ignorere den personen. Det betyr at postene deres ikke lenger vil vises i stream-en din; men, de vil fremdeles kunne kommentere på, like eller videredele postene dine, og kommentarene deres på dine og andres poster som vises i stream-en din vil være synlige for deg. For å ignorere noen, hold musepekeren over en av postene deres og klikk på ikonet ved siden av den lille «x»-en i øverste høyre hjørne – det ser ut som en person med en strek over. Når du ignorerer noen vil ikke postene deres forsvinne med en gang, du må først oppdatere skjermbildet. -
