Who can see what

Private on sizuq means signed-in only. It does not mean friends only. Anyone with a sizuq account can read a private profile; someone arriving without one is asked to sign in first.

Visibility is decided in two places, and they combine generously: your profile has a public switch, and each garden has one of its own. If either is on, your writing is open to signed-out readers.

The middle row is the useful one. It lets you keep your profile on sizuq.com quiet while publishing one garden — on your own domain, say — to the world.

Some things are invisible to everyone else regardless of any switch, and no address or link changes that.

• Drafts. Nobody but you, on any surface, at any address.
• Archived drops. They show only to you, with an archived mark.
• Constellation, and the collections in it.
• Whispers, and everything in your settings.

These rules are applied on the server rather than by hiding things in the interface, so they hold however the request is made.

A garden served from a domain you own is a different origin from sizuq.com, so your sign-in does not reach it. Everyone there is treated as a signed-out visitor — including you.

The consequence is worth planning around: a garden on your own domain has to be public to show anything at all. If it is private, you will find your own site asking you to sign in, at a place where signing in is not possible.
