Du kan også se en annens profilside ved å klikke på navnet eller bildet deres. Hvor mye av en persons profilinformasjon og poster du får tilgang til avhenger av hvordan du er forbundet med de. Oppe til høyre finner du en aspektknapp: gråfarget hvis personen ikke er i noen av aspektene dine; grønnfarget dersom de er. Klikk på den for å legge de til et aspekt. -
If they are sharing with you, there will be a green tick next to their diaspora* ID. If not, there will be a gray circle.

If you are ignoring that person, the button will be red and will read “Stop ignoring.”

That’s all you need to know about the interface for now. The first thing you will want to do is finding some people to start sharing with. However, before we get to that, let’s focus on something that features prominently throughout diaspora*: <strong>aspects</strong>.

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.

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* fungerer på akkurat samme måte. Du kan plassere kontakter i «aspekter» basert på hvilke aspekter av livet ditt de er del av. På denne måten kontrollerer du hvilke av dine kontakter som ser den enkelte post du lager på diaspora*, ved å poste til et spesifikt aspekt eller aspekter. Vi vil forklare mer om hva dette betyr over de neste tre delene av denne serien. -
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.

Velg et navn for det nye aspektet. Det kunne gjenspeile den felles forbindelsen mellom disse folkene, for eksempel «kreativ skriving», «fotball», eller «aktivister»; men du kan kalle det akkurat det du ønsker. Ingen vil noen noen gang kunne se navnene på aspektene dine, og kontaktene dine vil heller ikke komme til å vite hvilke aspekter de er i. I denne øvelsen foreslår jeg å lage et aspekt kalt «Diaspora», der du kan legge inn folk du møter her. -
Click <span class="click">My aspects</span> in the sidebar and a list of your aspects will appear. To add an aspect, click <span class="click">+ Add an aspect</span> under the list of aspects in the menu. You will be presented with a pop-up window.

This guide uses an aspect called “Diaspora” as an example, but give your aspect whatever name you want.

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!
