Apparently Frendica DMs don't really work properly with Mastadon and if you use the "Direct" privacy setting in a reply it just posts it as Public. Whoops. That'll learn me for not testing things safely when unsure.
@gbraad The issue of Frendica DMs not being interoperable with Mastodon is a known one. The direct reply thing was mostly me misunderstanding how Fedilab for Andriod would respond if I tried to do something that was supported on Mastodon but not on Frendica. I expected it would produce an error message if I tried doing something unsupported rather than just silently degrade privacy. That's a bad default.

While we deeply agree that it is an important mistake, we just discovered it. That means when posting with the privacy "direct", the Friendica api accepts it without error and it replaces it with a public visibility.
We warned our Friendica users and we will disable the private visibility for Friendica.

Yup, everything as public as public is.

I do much enjoy having the entire thread available for me to review/quote/cite when I offer reply posts, but I'm currently using a #Pleroma account so not sure how to enable "quote posts" in Fedilab for that.

Any pointers, suggestions?

Have you tried extra features in Settings?

@apps Not until just now!

Thank you!

I'm going to go and take a look at https://wip.fedilab.app/docs/fedilab/ in a minute - that's where the new docs are taking shape 🙂

Thanks again! #Fedilab never let's me down nor creases to amaze me with its utility!
