<img class=" title=":friendica:"/> Important note for #Friendica users! There's a bug that affects visibility of Friendica replies.

This bug only affects Friendica! MASTODON USERS ARE NOT AFFECTED.

github.com/friendica/friendica…

Basically, replies by Friendica accounts using direct/mentions visibility in apps that rely on the Mastodon API will actually be public.

The linked issue mentions Fedilab as an example, but apparently this bug affects any Friendica-compatible app which relies on the Mastodon API.

in reply to FediTips has moved!

@apps

Am I understanding this correctly? So if I send someone a DM using this fedilab app no one will see it but the person I sent it to. But if that person replies using DM it will be public? Also why can't you delete a DM on fedilab? Thanks

This post only applies to people using Friendica. This bug does not exist in Mastodon.

Some people use Friendica through Mastodon-compatible apps, and Friendica is having some difficulty with its compatibility. Mastodon is totally unaffected.
