Have they figured out how to make access-controlled posts (i.e. friends-only, or for specific subgroups) work with ActivityPub federation, or are all your posts public and visible to anyone, as on Mastodon? If people are going to start using this platform, there will need to be an option for making posts visible only to friends (and “followers only” is not a viable alternative).
I'm not sure how functional it is but this is what I get when creating a post.
It's been years since I actively used Friendica, but AFAIK the project has always had some form of "circles" that you can choose to share individual posts with? I don't know if it's been streamlined to translate into federation, though.
Ah, didn't knew that it's been there for so long and that they meant the activitypub specifically. In that case it should be safe to assume that nothing of progress was made in that regard unless there was a pressure on the feature.
