Exclusively channels - consider filters

[toas-koas]

I have assigned all my contacts to one circle each. So that these contacts only appear in the circles, I have selected in the channel settings that they are only displayed in channels. When I open Raccoon, for example, I have all contacts in the subscriptions. I only want to see posts from my subscribed hashtags there, as in the web interface, and when I tap on a circle, I want to see the posts from the contacts that are assigned to that circle.

There are two API calls involved in this:

• GET v1/timelines/home which returns the list of posts you see in the "Subscriptions" timeline (doc here);
• GET v1/timelines/list/:id which return the list of posts you see when you select a channel or a list (doc here).

The improvement request you are reporting makes me think that the result of the first one (GET v1/timelines/home) still includes results from accounts you are following but you don't expect to appear because you have selected an option in the channel configuration.

Could you please tell me which option it is so that I may ask to the backend developers and understand whether there is some parameter to the GET v1/timelines/home call I can pass or some client-side filtering I should do?

In the channel settings

I can not even found anything like that neither under "Account", "Additional features" or "Channels" in the Settings page. Maybe it is something new on recent Friendica versions, my instance is running 2024.08 (still).

I also have a test instance with version 2024.08
The point is already included there.

Could you please tell me in which section? I know I look dumb but Friendica's settings menu is difficult to use even for people with a technical background like me...

You go to a contact, click on the arrow at the top of conversations and then on profile. There you scroll down and click on channel settings. At the end you tick "Only channels"

Ok, found it: in the English UI it's called "Channel only"
