Two questions today:

1. Is it possible to set up a channel that contains multiple circles?
For example, if I had the following circles: Close Friends, Family, Acquaintances, Work Colleagues, and Volunteering but I only wanted posts from Close Friends, Family, and Acquaintances to be visible in the channel, is there a way to do this?

2. I have connected Bluesky but would like these posts to be excluded by default and only visible either in a Bluesky channel or when filtering by protocol.
I found this post on Github which suggest this is not possible at this time but that the feature is under construction:
github.com/friendica/friendica…
Am I understanding that correctly? There is not a way to do it now, but there may be a way in the future?

Thank you!

@Sarah Peck It is not possible to use multiple circles for a single canal. But the magic of Friendica allows you to achieve the desired result with a little trick. It is very Simple. You will create a new circle "x" that will be attached to the channel "y" Then in the contact profile view You can tick one or more circles for the same contact. Each contact you want to appear in channel "y" you must additionally check circle "x"

@Sarah Peck Regarding Bleusky There are several ways to manage your contacts, the easiest is to not enable the import of the global bluesky feed but enable the import of your bluesky timeline only. Then you will have to subscribe to the profile manually to be able to attach them to a circle. all depends on your need.

Currently you cannot combine channels. And you can't exclude Bluesky at the moment from the timeline. Both should be technical possible though.
