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!

@feditips I'm new in this amazing platform so, I want to understand... I need to type in "@" and the usernames to "mention" them and this is considered DM or private message because it only appears in their private timelines? Please, let me know. Thank you in advance. 🙏 🙂

@ShengIntegral You also have to change the visibility of the post.

In Mastodon-powered instances/servers, you need to click the globe icon.

Please see attached screenshot. A fair warning, DMs are not encrypted. It can be seen by anyone who knows how to.

@youronlyone Oooh! I see. It's the fourth option, "Mentioned people only", correct?

@ShengIntegral Yep, that is correct. ^_^
