This means that any user who is a Project Colleague of the author, is allowed to see the Tip or Story in the places where it naturally appears. A Project Colleague is anyone who is a:

Project Observer/Reporter/Editor of a project that the user is a Project Observer/Reporter/Editor of

It means that anyone who has permission to see the:

  • Project page, will see this story on it.

  • Bundle page, will see this story on it

  • Charity page, will see this story/tip on it

  • Author’s user profile page, will see this story/tip on it

  • Beneficiary profile page, will see this story/tip on it

Places where a Tip/Story appears unnaturally

These are places where a Tip/story will only appear if Story/Tip privacy allows it to be seen by this user AND if the signed-in-user does a particular action to make them appear. That is why we say it appears unnaturally.

A story

A tip

My Home newsfeed

Yes (if the signed-in-user is following the author)

Yes (if the signed-in-user is following the author)

Newsfeed popup on the Progress Board

Yes (if the signed-in-user is following the author)

No

My Tips Library

No

Yes (if the signed-in-user Likes the Tip or has created the Tip)

Following the author of the content

If the signed-in-user follows the author then as long as the Privacy of the Tip/Story allows it, the signed-in-user will see the Tip/Story in the unnatural places, as shown in the table.

The https://github.com/MakerbleDev/makerble/issues/5277 github issue is the one that implemented this rule relating to the user having to follow an author in order to see their content on the My Home newsfeed or Newsffed popup of the Progress Board.
