#fedifact — Public Fediverse posts

#FediFact — Did you know that you can set different privacy settings for your posts? Depending on the privacy settings you choose, it may impact (and affect) how visible your post is, and how discoverable it might be.

Public … Public is the default privacy setting. When you use the Public privacy setting there are no restrictions on your posts. Your posts will be visible to any of the public timelines here on nsfw.social, and on other fedi servers depending on the other servers' admin's settings.

Unlisted … Unlisted prevents your posts from appearing in any of the public timelines both here, and on other servers. This also means that people won't be able to discover your posts unless someone they follow boosts one of your posts.

Followers … Followers limits your posts to only your followers. Neither your followers, or anyone they follow, will be able to boost your posts (though they will be able to react and reply).

Direct … Direct limits your posts to only those people you explicitly tag and specify to be able to see them. Admins on your local server, and on any remote server of users' that are tagged, technically have the ability to see your Direct posts. (At least today.) Do not post or send any sensitive information in Direct posts.

Private … Private is a special post permission that basically means your post is only visible to you. It will appear in your timeline but in nobody else's. Admins on your local server technically have the ability to see your Private posts. Do not post any sensitive information in Private posts.

Local Only … Local Only is a special flag you can add to your posts that is separate from any of the permissions outlined above. Setting a post to Local Only will cause the post to NOT federate. Your post will stay on your local server, and will be visible to other users on your local server depending on the other permissions you might set.
