I updated my alt text for this useful “where does my toot appear” flowchart from urusai.social/@neatchee

More on #postVisibility #TootVisibility.

ALSO, anybody who shares another instance with somebody that follows you will see it in their search results or federated feed (so, basically (a), above, also applies across instances SORT OF).

I'm guessing the best way to find out if I'm right or not is to make a definitive statement and see if anybody shows up to correct me. :)

#tootVisibility

All that "public" vs "unlisted" angst about replies basically for nothing. :/

#tootVisibility

Unlisted toots (e.g., replies) are the same as public with the one exception that they don't appear in your instance's public feed.

So, everybody on your instance
(a) who searches or looks in the federated feed,
(b) who follows you,
(c) who you mention
sees your reply.

(b) & (c) apply across instances.
