Be aware that changes to this setting also apply retroactively.

That is, if you previously made a post on Unlisted visibility, while set to show only Public posts on your profile, and you change this setting to show Public and Unlisted, then the Unlisted post you previously made will be visible on your profile alongside your Public posts.

While GoToSocial respects interaction policies, it is not guaranteed that other server softwares will, and it is possible that accounts on other servers will still send out replies and boosts of your post to their followers, even if your instance forbids these interactions.

As more ActivityPub servers roll out support for interaction policies, this issue will hopefully diminish, but in the meantime GoToSocial can offer only a "best effort" attempt to restrict interactions with your posts according to the policies you have set.
