    Hello! Currently, when a user follows or subscribes to posts from other users on other sites or on Fediverse, the posts appear to all users on the site, even if they don’t follow the same accounts. Are there plans to make feeds individual in the future?

    This is currently not planned. The Friends plugin is developed with a notion of a single person blog. The data structures that save your subscriptions and feeds are not designed to be per user.

    It would also introduce a lot of complexity: what if two users follow the same site but want different feeds enabled for it?

    The only reasonable way that I can think of using this is to remove friends’ posts from the Friends page via the “Show posts on your friends page” option which is stored per WordPress user:

    Thus you can use WordPress as your Personal Mastodon Instance right now but not as a full replacement for a Mastodon server.

    This solution is useful. Is that why only admin users can access Friends then? It would be nice if other types like editors and contributors could use the plugin.
