@Harald Eilertsen I'd assume, that the scope of the repeat is the same as the original post. In other words, if you'd repeat a followers-only post originating from Mastodon, then the scope of your own repeat should be limited to my own connections and the followers of the original poster. Or so? @Mario Vavti

Nope. In Mastodon, every message has its own scope completely independent of any other message associated with the thread. There is no 'reply to all'. Your replies "usually" go to your own followers and anybody you mention, which "usually" includes the author of the post you are replying to - but never to their followers or the original audience. There is no such thing as a conversation which is seen only by the audience of that conversation. This is why I've been working so hard on conversation containers, which fixes this situation.
