I for one don't understand how the circles feature is supposed to work. I don't think it existed when I started using Friendica years ago, this was one of my goals for the holidays was to play with it more and update the documentation.

Circles existed even before I started to use Friendica. But then they had been called "groups". We renamed them some time ago to not get confused with the groups that had been called "forums" back then.

As you asked than, before changing the nomen clature @Michael 🇺🇦, using it now it seems that that was actually a good choice.

When you are in a circle, then the default permission for the post is set to that circle. Means: You have to change the posting permissions before posting to avoid this behaviour.

@Michael 🇺🇦 @Droppie [opensoc] @Friendica Support that's easy enough to do from the web client from the permissions(?) tab. Is there a way to do so from other clients, like Racoon?
