Diaspora/Website
-
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. -
Comments
-
If there are no comments on a post yet, click
<span class="click">
Comment</span>
to open a comment field. When there are already comments below the post, the comment field will automatically be there. If more than three comments have been added, the last three comments will be shown. You can expand the full thread by clicking the<span class="click">
Show n more comments</span>
link above them. -
Likes
-
Next to the
<span class="click">
Comment</span>
link you will find a<span class="click">
Like</span>
link. This can be used to give the owner of the post a sign that you have read and appreciated their post, without having to actually comment. When you click the link, you will be added to a counter of the number of likes. Clicking this counter will show you those people who have liked the post. -
If you change your mind, you can remove your “like” by clicking the
<span class="click">
Unlike</span>
link which is now visible. But be aware that the person whose post you originally liked has already been sent a notification! -
Reshare posts
-
Public posts made by other people can be reshared. In order to reshare a post, click the
<span class="click">
Reshare</span>
link, which can be found between the Like and Comment links. Resharing a post makes it visible to your followers, and can help spread a good message to a new audience. -
Deleting posts and comments
-
When you hover your mouse pointer over one of your own posts or one of the comments, an
<span class="click">
x</span>
will appear in the top right corner, which allows you to delete the post or comment. You can also delete your own comments on other people’s posts. -
Hiding someone’s post
-
If you don’t want to see someone else’s post again, you can hide it from your stream by clicking the
<span class="click">
x</span>
, just as you would to delete your own post. -
Ignore a user
-
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.
-
A list of people you are ignoring can be found in your account settings under
<span class="click">
Privacy</span>
. To stop ignoring someone, you can remove them from the list on that page. We cover how to change your account settings page in %{part_link}. -
You’ve now learned about the activity you’ll be spending most of your time in diaspora* doing: sharing your own content, and commenting on and resharing content shared by others. In the next part of this tutorial we will take a look at “conversations:” private messages shared with one or more contacts.

The last big feature you should definitely know about is “conversations.” Before we do that, however, let’s look at notifications.
