p.s. To be honest I am still having trouble nailing down how Unlisted is supposed to work. It isn't documented fully.

Unlisted is public but not visible in Federated or Local or Search.

BUT... what about Home?

I assumed it would never show up in Home unless it was boosted, but I've seen unboosted Unlisted replies to conversations I wasn't taking part in.

If someone can point to proper full documentation for Unlisted including its behaviour in Home timelines, that would be fantastic.

@feditips I've never been able to find any actual official documentation on it. Just what people have told me and from experimenting.

Experiencer :verified:

@feditips I thought it only appeared in timelines if you were following said person tbh

@feditips Conversations between people you follow will show up on your Home, unless they were using DM.

René :zcash:

@feditips I think all posts from people you follow show up on Home.

I always see Unlisted and even posts in a language I have filtered out if it was posted by someone I follow.

@feditips Unlisted is supposed to change behavior in these specific ways:

* Will not show up in federated timelines
* Will not show up in hashtag searches

It does not alter the behavior of posts on Home otherwise. So if you follow a person, their Unlisted posts will still show up.

I don't know where official documentation of this behavior is, however.

FediTips has moved!

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 Hmm I had thought it was visible in all of those except search and federated.
