Do not exclude messages of not subscribed circles of friends from main page
After some months as a Yokway user, I don't get the point to separate "my subcribed circles (in main page)" from "circles of my friends I have not yet subcribed (2nd tab)". I think I would prefer the opposite way: by default I would like to receive all messages of my friends in my main page, and If I am not interested in a subject I add a filter on a friend not to get his message related to a given circle.

Inappropriate?Hi Arnaud,
There is certainly one shortcoming with the current implementations; I am referring to the fact that when your friends post outside of a framework circle, it doesn't show in your main 'my circles' feed . We'll address that problem shortly.
Did you notice the new smart menu (right-hand column of 'my circles')? When we split the content feed into multiple tabs we also deployed this smart menu that summarizes the activity of 'my circles' and 'my friends'. So right from your main feed you are exposed to activities taking place in other friends' circles.
We need to keep the rules very explicit and straightforward because users should not be left wondering why a circle they never subscribed to is suddenly showing up.
One way to go about it is to expose more information about your friends circles from the sneak peek provided in the smart menu (or more inline actions, like subscribing to a friend's circle straight from the menu to take inspiration from your other idea?). Would that improve your experience?

Inappropriate?I totally agree with Arnaud on this ! While it's a good idea to recommend new sharing circles to which my friends subscribe, I think it's a terrible idea to put their posts in another page when they post in a circle to which I don't subscribe.
It's great to recommend more content or new content, but with this option it feels like you're taking content away from us, just to be able to then recommend it. Lol.
While you're trying to encourage people to participate more, why divide the feed in two, cause it makes it look like there is less participation ? It's very annoying to have to click back and forth on the two tabs to find the post you're looking for.
We were talking about intentional communication before. I think it's important to know that when you post something on yokway, your friends will see it. I also want to see what my friends are posting no matter the subject, without having to go to different tabs.
The main problem with the way it works right now, is that both sections (i.e. My circles and My friends circles) contain posts that you really care about. The first one contains all the circles to which you've subscribed so obviously you're very interested by them, and the other contains all the posts from good friends that were posted in no circles, and that's MANY posts, or in circles that you're really interested in as well but to which you haven't had the time to subscribe yet, so you can't miss those either.
It would be OK to have extra options in that tool bar up there that you might use once a month or so (like the "everybody" button for example), but because those two sections are so important, you need to click on those damn buttons all the time and it's just very annoying.
