Private conversations

[trufae]

Describe the request

It would be nice if the "conversations" tab can have a button to toggle between public and private conversations. this is, by filtering only the ones that have visibility for mentioned accounts only or not.

Checks

• This follows the GNOME HIG.

All conversations are private (or at least involve mentioned-only visibility). The API docs describe them as 'Direct conversations with other participants. (Currently, just threads containing a post with "direct" visibility.)'

oh, indeed, maybe i was expecting to see those conversations grouped per users instead of a list of messages sorted by date. That would make it look more like direct messages imho

[GeopJr]

Yeah... it doesn't make much sense as an API (https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/conversations/). It's definitely not 'DMs', maybe we should change the name to the one Mastodon has changed it to, 'Private Mentions'
