Be the change you want to see in the world? /S
Let me know when you can have posts visible only to friends (which is not the same thing as “visible only to people who follow you”) and permissions for specific friend lists.
Seems like it is already possible, after clicking "permissions" when making a post it shows:
This post will be shown only to the people in the first box, to the exception of the people mentioned in the second box. It won't appear anywhere publicly.Start typing the name of a contact or a circle to show a filtered list. You can also mention the special circles "Followers" and "Mutuals".
Those of you that have switched, how do you like it?
No complaints so far. I'm not using many new features, but I really like the new user interface.
Can you share screenshots?
Sure thing, here you go:
Cant see them, it says “Permission denied it might be restricted”. You can upload images in the comments here
Yeah unfortunately I can't because I'm on Friendica and Lemmy is annoying in that it treats images differently from the rest of the Fediverse.

Ah nice, hows the mobile ui look?
Here’s the billion dollar question: why do we need a Facebook alternative? Perhaps just walk away from the idea altogether?
Is this version naming scheme a thing now? The current year instead of 0.x or 1.1 and so on? First time seeing it and I can't decide if I hate it or if it is neat.
It invites a steady major release cadence
