   @sim @clacke private feeds/posts would be possible if you would hide them from atom feeds and only salmon them to the recipients

     @sim In Mastodon you can easily follow a remote user by entering username@domain in the sidebar form https://mastodon.social/media/183 If GNU social doesn't have a function to load statuses that way then that's great, I'll implement that and it'll be another advantage for Mastodon :) But yeah I want to minimize how much users will need to leave the UI without sacraficing the federation bits.

     Ooh... this interface looks like the type some other users were thinking to include as an interface here but haven't really started. Maybe they don't have to now if this is something that you can add to an instance itself. Is it possible to create a timeline from another instance, and then reply like there?
     
     Yeah... I find it a pain to have to keep visiting other instances to view profiles or to view their local timeline. On GNU/Social, if you highlight someones name then you can follow through that. But there is nothing for remote replying when you're not on your local instance. You can't be logged in through your local instance when viewing other instances too.
     
     By the way, if you have a way to limit who sees what individual post that works... then Mastodon will have another advantage. GNU/Social tried to implement something like that and it fails. It does not work. On the classic or qvitter interface. I don't know why the buttons for it are visible when it doesn't work.

     @sim @gargron "a way to limit who sees what individual post"? You mean access control? That's not possible in OStatus, partly b/c of PuSH.

     @clacke @gargron
     I'm not sure. But apparently there is an option to limit who can see what in classic but it doesn't work. I wonder what the history with that is. Apparently there is supposed to be a lock you can click and it would be private or something. Not sure if posts are private if you tag them into a private group.

     @sim @gargron Oh yeah, I seem to remember an option to have a private feed. Couldn't really work with federation though.

     @gargron @sim Good point! Although currently, if you salmon them to a GS user, their server would make it public.
