That would be okay, but do I have a way to quickly create a circle that contains all "mutuals" all the time (even knowing I probably add / remove contacts at some point)?
Maybe missing something obvious here: Is there a way to build a channel (or otherwise view) communications / posts by "mutuals" (as in people I follow that follow me too)? I thought I've seen that around here already but I fail to find it again. At least in the channels creation screen, I don't see that option...

Hmmm, somehow supposed that. Is there a way to fix that? Can imagine cases in which this is worse / less obviously a problem than here.
... any idea what \_this\_ could possibly be? Original Diaspora post: Diaspora post as seen via Friendica on loma.ml: Styling does look a bit like it's a difference in markup interpretations, but still ... why? Changed and not updated? Post itself: [pod.geraspora.de/posts/5a614bb…](https://pod.geraspora.de/posts/5a614bb003c6013db0a2268acd52edbf)
One of my currently biggest "issues" with Friendica is handling re-sharing posts right. Like: If I use just "native reshare" on the post, behaviour differs according to where a post comes from. Meaning: Resharing Pixelfed or Mastodon posts will only make them visible to the AP crowd. Resharing Diaspora\* posts will only make them visible for Diaspora\* folks. Same for Tumblr and \*cough\* Bluesky. So I usually do use quote-sharing for content that matters (to me), which however results in being unable to use random Mastodon API clients (like [#phanpy](https://loma.ml/search?tag=phanpy) , [#rodent](https://loma.ml/search?tag=rodent) , [#tusky)](https://loma.ml/search?tag=tusky%29) for that - as in there, I can only (by now) boost Mastodon posts as far as it seems and I am unable to at least easily do a quote-share of an existing boost. Unfortunately, even though I really \_do\_ force myself to use Friendica web / Frio all the time, it still leaves some things to be desired especially on mobile devices. So, wondering: How do you folks handle this? Just use Friendica web and go with its "issues"? Just use whatever "reshare"/"boost" does without not bothering too much about who's able to see the posts? Or not interacting with any people outside the ActivityPub universe at all....?

@hoergen Hmmm, maybe I'm all off here, but ... this somehow feels like a problem that has been solved in the past, and be that as simple as in e-mail: Sending messages to a wide load of recipients with all of them in Cc (because I want to discuss issues with all of them), anyone who responds to any of these messages will send this response to all of the original recipients, and that is intentionally and expected to be this way. If someone modifies the set of recipients - fine, of course everyone's able and allowed to do that, that's a conscious decision, but it's not, like "no matter what - your response will only be seen by those people in that recipient list that have you in their address book"... . Maybe this analogy is a bit difficult, but at least that's a kind of behaviour that, for an addressing as generic as "Following", would somehow be not all too much off.

@hoergen Hmmm, I don't see the problem here to be honest. I don't _want_ to explicitely add people to a particular group or forum. I just actually would like to be able to send out posts avoiding they're visible to _everyone_ globally, either by looking at some "explore" timeline or by knowing a link to a post. I'd like to make a restriction that limits posts to be available to people _I_ follow (or maybe mutuals of _mine_) without enforcing that these people necessarily have to follow each other too to reach each others posts. The latter might be perfectly valid but it seems a different use case at least to me.

@feb (While I generally agree...: We still should be very cautious suggesting that, unless we know things don't just wor a bit but actually work _well_. Currently, federation and communication across different pieces of software all too often feels fragile and incomplete especially whenever moving deeper into the specialties and unique features of a particular platform that might be poorly or totally unsupported on others. At the moment, I'm running into this virtually every other day even between "older" and somewhat similar platforms like pixelfed and Mastodon. Not even sure about how lemmy or kbin fits into this picture. And every user disappointed by how things work is a likely candidate for the next surveillance capitalist / walled garden monopoly to harvest and build upon.😶)
