show up on the public timeline for local instance folks to see
not show up on twkn for randos to replyguy
it’s a posting mode i appear to wish for very often, and i think it makes sense to add it to akkoma, with the increased focus on local communities.
the public timeline isn’t comprised of hundreds of people you don’t know, it’s a local community which i wish i could post more to without attracting people i’ve never seen before.
by definition, the “public” timeline is all posts addressed to AS_PUBLIC from your instance, and the federated (twkn) timeline is all posts addressed to AS_PUBLIC by all instances
one is a subset of the other
i don’t really know what you’re asking for - who do you intend to be the recipient list for your new mode?
something right in between public and unlisted: shows up on the public timeline but not the federated one. what @trwnh mentioned sounds like a plausible way to do it
