Thanks everyone for voting and sharing your opinion!
Looking at the results, I think this does support the idea that maybe replies to followers-only posts should be automatically private mentions?

@Stefan Bohacek My own followers. Hubzilla doesn't grant anyone else permission to see the post, much less interact with or reply to it.
Essentially, here on Hubzilla, "followers only" amounts to posting to a privacy group (think Mastodon list, but more powerful) that contains everyone who follows me. That wouldn't be a public post, though, and Mastodon would understand it as a DM.

Hey fediverse, quick question for you.
Generally speaking, when you post a followers-only post, who do you expect to see replies from?
-
Anyone out there use Followers-only posts? How do you use them, what did you hope to get out of that, and what do you get in practice?
I'm trying to get a sense of what the patterns of use are for Followers-only posting, what people want them to do (or prevent), and to what degree that works out.

@Helge
Good news! guide now talks about followers only posts. If you are in the set of "Some applications create replies to followers-only posts addressed to the replier's followers collection", please fix it.
This. In fact, Fediverse server software that behaves correctly has been around since long before Mastodon was made.
In fact, replies should never go to whoever is replied to unless it's the conversation starter. Replies should always go to the conversation starter and from there to all participants in the conversation, and they should do so without having to visually mention all participants. Also, conversations should be shown as a whole by default always and everywhere and not as single-message piecemeal with no context.
And in an ideal Fediverse, this should go hand in hand with only the members of thefollowerscollection of the top-level post author being permitted to see a) the top-level post, b) any comments on the top-level post and c) any replies to comments in the first place. This would make sure that nobody who isn't intended as part of the audience will ever be able to see this content, also by making it technically impossible to repost/boost/repeat/share/otherwise forward anything in the conversation. But hardly anything in the Fediverse has the all-encompassing permissions system that's required to achieve this.

Just realized I've been using the wrong settings to respond to posts... derp
Didn't realize this was even a thing. This is so interesting. Glad to learn new things.
If you wan't posts to be public make sure to click the little globe 🌍 or padlock 🔒 icons to change it. If you make an unlisted post keep in mind that you can't change it to public afterwards.

Suppose you post "followers only" and a follower boosts the post? I presume it retains its "followers only" setting.
If so, then selecting "followers only" seems to have the drawback that you will never gain new followers.
I may be missing something. I often am. But thank you for not making the post I'm replying to "followers only."

CW: Test
Sam testiram, če #followersOnly filtrira, da se zadeva ne pojavlja na krajevni časovnici 😋

@luka kako pa to narediš?
V iskalniku mi je našlo samo tut, ki je imel tole: #followersOnly
A samo to dodaš?
Kako pa unlisted?
