Should the Fediverse have a "friends of friends" audience option?

[eco_amandine@mastodon.cr]

@evan no but you should be able to select the audience of your posts, like the old circles.

@evan
No, but it should have circles.

@evan I'm all for additional scopes, but before "friends of friends" I would rather have a "local" scope like some server software already supports it (e.g. the hometown fork of Mastodon).

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@dentaku I somewhat agree, but I think that should be implemented as a group.

[slim@mastodon.tn]

@evan I thought it was fof feed. *that* would be cool

[the_rebel@procial.tchncs.de]

@the_moep@mastodon.de It’s been around for a very long time, just not on Mastodon

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@slim sure, why not?

[heluecht@pirati.ca]

@evan In Friendica we have got a "Friends of friends" channel that shows posts from people that you don't follow but who are followed by the people you follow.

And it really helps you to discover new people to follow.

[bathyspherehat@mastodon.online]

@evan What I really want is an "only people I follow" or "only mutuals" option.

@evan Can friends of friends comment on that post? That's what I assumed. I said yes. I wonder how those posts made by friends of friends will be shown to their followers.
