Hey there followers!

Just to let you know, I usually reply to questions on this account as private messages because I don't want to spam my followers' timelines with lots of replies.

Unfortunately, even Unlisted posts seem to appear in the Home timelines of followers, so I use Mentioned visibility instead (which is basically a DM).

Please don't think I'm being weird if I reply to you privately!

Unlisted only affects the public timelines, your follower's home feed is unaffected. But we have the option to hide all replies from our home feed. I only figured that out recently.

Before, I would see entire conversations of unlisted posts between people I follow. Anti-chronologically and wedged between other posts, so it was quite messy at times. Now I don't, and my feed is nice and tidy.

Oh, you already made some tests. I'm just too slow. 🦥

So unlisted replies only show up if you follow both accounts. That's consistent with what I saw, because I never saw all replies someone made, just when I followed both.
