p.p.s. Okay, thank you to everyone who replied about this. Just did a few more tests and Unlisted seems to work like this in Home:

Unlisted posts and replies from people you follow will appear in your Home timeline unless they are a reply to someone you don't follow.

...so... yeah... this is not the most intuitive setup, but seems to be how Unlisted works on Home!

@feditips Ok, that would be exactly how I would have expected it to work. However, I feel like I sometimes see replies to people I don't follow and which haven't been boosted either.

I'll have to take a closer look, I guess.

@feditips While on this subject, I recently learned that someone can start a thread with followers-only visibility and then I can see replies if someone I follow replies to the thread and then that person is replied to by someone else I follow.

(post, followers only, from someone I don't follow): invisible to me

(first reply, from someone I do follow): initially hidden from me

(reply to the reply, from someone else I follow): visible in my Home feed, clicking on it gives me above

@feditips just too complex for most people

@feditips exactly like public posts for followers on the timeline.
