Diaspora/Website
-
You consider Jill a slight acquaintance, and put her in your “Acquaintances” aspect.
-
Jill, however, thinks of you one of her best friends, and puts you in her “Close friends” aspect.
-
You post most things only to your “Friends” or “Family” aspects, so Jill doesn’t see many of your posts.
-
Because you’re in Jill’s “Close friends” aspect, on the other hand, you see almost everything she posts.
-
The main thing to remember is that
<strong>no one</strong>will ever see a post unless you have made it public or have made it to an aspect into which you have manually placed that person. -
Finding people
-
In order to start sharing with people, you will have to start following some people. Perhaps they will follow you back! Let’s look at how to do that now.
-
There are several ways to find someone and add them to an aspect.
-
Search
-
The search field is in the header bar. To add someone by search:
-
Type a name or diaspora* ID. Suggestions will appear as you start typing.
-
Hit enter to search, and you will land on a page with results.
-
When you have found the person you are looking for, click the
<span class="click">Add contact</span>button. -
If the person you want to start sharing with appears in the list of suggestions, just select their name to get to their profile page and click the
<span class="click">Add contact</span>button from there. -
A drop-down menu will then appear under the button in which you can select which aspect(s) to add the person to. You can also create a new aspect and add them to that aspect by clicking
<span class="click"><em>+ Add an aspect</em></span>. -
Once you select one or more aspects, the aspect button will turn green and you will instantly start sharing posts to those aspects with the person while at the same time you will start following their public posts.
-
Sending an invitation mail
-
Another way to follow a friend is by sending them an invitation mail. This can be done through the
<span class="click">by mail</span>link in the menu on the right of the search results page or from the<span class="click">Invite your friends</span>link in the sidebar of the stream page. As soon as your friend accepts the invite, they will be taken through the same registration process you have just been through. -
From their profile
-
Another way to add a person to one of your aspects is by clicking their name wherever you see it in diaspora*. This will take you to their profile page, from where you will be able to add them to aspects using the button in the top right corner of the page.
