## Home feed visibility for replies
Your replies will only appear on your followers' Home feeds if they follow both you and the person you're replying to.
Some notes about this:
* A new post you make which starts with an `@mention` is **not** considered a reply, so it will show up on the Home feed of all your followers.
* The reply's visibility (Public vs Unlisted vs Followers-Only) does **not** affect whether it shows up on the Home feed
* If your post is public and contains a followed hashtag, it'll be shown on the Home feed regardless of whether it's a reply
* Other Fediverse software may show all of your replies on the Home feed, no matter who the posts are replies to
