Hey fediverse, quick question for you.

Generally speaking, when you post a followers-only post, who do you expect to see replies from?

MOF + repliers' followers (RF)

14 Stimmen | 12%

Mutual MOF + RF only

6 Stimmen | 5%

Something else?

Don't really care, not here for the "engagement".
I mostly post unlisted to avoid cluttering the feeds.

@stefan FYI I've answered the question as stated, that is, "what do you expect" i.e. how I think the code works. I wonder though if it was meant to be about how I would *want* it to work

@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.

⊙ Anyone my followers can feasibly reach; effectively, the majority of the Fediverse

@stefan

The “post to my followers” setting specifies the *immediate recipients* of my post. That doesn't limit to whom those people will later boost my post, increasing its audience.
