Question: My crossposted threads are set by default to "unlisted," but I'm hearing from folks that the posts other than the top one are appearing on the feed anyway.
Is that what you're seeing too?

@KlasfeldReports Unlisted posts/replies seem to still show up on the Home timelines of anyone who follows you.
However, they don't seem to clog up Local timelines (at least on my instance), so people who don't follow you won't be bogged down with them.
It's *kind of* like on Twitter: I'm more likely to see individual replies in a thread from someone I follow, but not in an overwhelming way, and not if I don't follow them.
@IntlLawGnome @KlasfeldReports In the upper right corner of each post in the timeline there is an icon showing visibility. Your replies to your thread are properly showing as "unlisted".
For your followers, their home feed has a setting for "Show replies". If this is enabled, they will still see the unlisted replies in their feed. It appears to be enabled by default, but they can turn this off.
unlisted just means they don't appear in the LOCAL feed of your server. followers should still see them. I'm following you and do see them and they're marked as unlisted.
a request though: can you add a CW to your crossposted posts? not sure how @chrisgeidner is doing it but it is fantastic.
@KlasfeldReports @chrisgeidner
one last note on the value of this
the CW tag would allow two things for those of us who follow you on both sides
a) only rewd your threads once
b) distinguish when you're on mastodon and responding for conversation
love the threads and content and don't want to increase your workload.
@cranky_david I would love to learn how @chrisgeidner does it, and I'd switch to default CWs if given the option.
The crossposter that I use specifically doesn't have that functionality.
