@bonfire@indieweb.social ​ Is there a way to create private posts that only people who have the link can access/read? Ideally these shouldn't be displayed on the local timeline. I played around a bit with the boundaries but didn't make much progress.

Trying to find ways to share posts with say family members who wouldn't neccesarily have a fediverse account.

@SSP It should be possible by playing with custom boundary permissions (read: can view something given its URI, see: can discover it in a list/feed) though we probably need to write some unit tests to verify that there are no leaks (that read-only posts don't appear in any feeds, threads, etc if you don't also have see permission) and it'd be useful to also have a simplified UX for creating a post with these permissions.

@bonfire @SSP A simplified UX for this would be great! I haven't had much luck figuring this out myself yet. Also, not sure if it's just my instance but it did take a while for the boundary permissions set at the instance level to show up for the users. Will tinker with this a bit more and maybe move this discussion over to GitHub.
