Addressing to user lists + default list of mutuals
Pleroma should allow
-
Creating lists of users that are exposed as Collection
s (but can also be hidden like thefollowers
collection) -
Address a post to one or more Collection
s. -
Replies to the posts would by default also be addressed to the same Collection
. -
Collection
s' names should be exposed in software when making a reply (so users don't address to people they do not intend to). -
A default collection containing all mutual followers.
Implementation thoughts
- Deliver to
inbox
, notsharedInbox
, so remote servers don't need to cache a copy ofCollection
s - Implementing this could also fix the current followers-only problem, where followers-only replies are delivered to the followers of the replier, not the original poster (leaking metadata and creating broken threads)
- Could also pave the way for private groups, as the only additional needed features would be collaborative management of the
Collection
s (which poses other technical challenges)
