   DMs work a bit differently on Mastodon. To send someone a message:

   1. Go to where you normally write a post, but select the "Mentions/Mentioned" visibility mode, usually indicated by an @ symbol

   2. @ the people you want to see the message

   3. Write the message and publish it

   NOTE: Everyone who is @-ed will see the message, even if you only @ them in replies. Be careful who you @ on here!

   For more info on choosing post visibilities, see here: https://fedi.tips/who-can-see-my-posts-in-mastodon-how-do-i-send-dms-in-mastodon/

     I found the @ symbol under the globe symbol in my new post dialog box.

     I'm just using that phrase because people were saying "How do I send DMs?"

     But yeah, this is slightly different!

     honestly, even calling them "direct messages" is kinda confusing. the "private post" wording Mastodon is slowly moving to is much better.
