Subscription or Acces?

[nattalie]

 So, all my entries are public and I just use private entries for write about very personal things, like sex :P
I think I don't need give grant acces to people because they can subscribe to my journal if they want to read this, right?

If I give grant acces to someone, will this person be able to read my private post or they will be able to read public entries and acces list entries?

I'm think we can only see things that you post to your "Access List". You can choose "Private" if you don't want anyone to see your post. I must confess, though, that I have no idea how the filters work. Are we filtering people out? Or filtering them in?

I looked it again and seems when you select Acces list you are filtering them in, because it says: "Show this entry to: " then you have the options to select public, acces list, private only you, etc. So this means if I write a private entry just me can see this.

I found this info in the FAQ
https://www.dreamwidth.org/support/faqbrowse?faqid=54

and also this:

Everyone (Public): anyone, whether they have a Dreamwidth account or not, can see your entries
Access list: only your access list can see your entries
Private (Just You): only you can see your entries

I should can give acces to people without they can read my private secrets! :D

I was not sure about the access filters. I guess these are like groups you choose to share certain posts with. My old LJ posts were targeted, and I guess I can do that here too by choosing to share with people who are included in these filters. Thanks for the link! I wasn't sure where to look for the info.

To use your phrasing, you are filtering people in. When you make an access list in DW it is an inclusive list of people you want to share a specific post. Suppose I made a list with you and nattalie on it, and wrote a post with that access list. *Only* you and her would be able to read it. Not my subscribers and not the people I have granted access to.

That being said, you have to have subscribed mutually to a person to add them to an access list. Want to be friends? I am interested in these stories you speak of...

Thanks so much for the info! Sure, I'd love to be friends. My old LJ stories are locked to specific friends, but I hope to have some more fun stories someday.
