Post visibility

[julianlam]

A concept mutually exclusive from category privileges, a post should be able to specify its own recipients.

While there is limited use-case for it in NodeBB itself, ActivityPub specifies that individual Notes may be addressed to the public pseudo-address, follower collections, or specific users.

In order to support this, NodeBB would need to have the concept of post visibility.

hi @julianlam , what about topic visibility? 😄 we definitely have a use-case for topics 👍

https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17610/hiding-specific-topics-from-public-view

[julianlam]

Topic visibility can be governed by OP post visibility. I am not certain what kind of restrictions we will add at this time.

nice 👍 Will admins be able to change this visibility later if the topic needs to be hidden from public?

@AliCihan I think so, if you have moderation privileges, you should be able to adjust visibility settings as well.

• Seems the following sorted sets are also appended to, and require test cases:
  • cid:${c}:uid:${userData.uid}:pids
  • cid:${c}:uid:${userData.uid}:pids:votes
  • cid:${c}:uid:${userData.uid}:tids
  • uid:${userData.uid}:followed_tids
  • uid:${userData.uid}:ignored_tids
