Memories: Public, Private; need more options.

I can make a memory public or private; either the entire world can see it or only I can see it. I have memories I would like to share with immediate family, or with cousins, or with any descendant, etc. It would be great if there were a few options. Same for comments and stories attached to the memory. The memory might be public but the comments could be limit.

    The problem is, the system doesn't "know" who is in any of those groups. It can tell whether the account is the same one that added the content or not, and that's it.

    @W Andrews Since FamilySearch is a shared one-world Tree - I can see the practicality of having only the public or private options.

    But I think I understand where this suggested idea is coming from - but there are ways to get accomplished what this idea wishes - within or certainly without the current FamilySearch platform. The 'new homepage' has this ability built-in - I think - allowing one to share with intermediate relations/friends that you invite - to share 'your posts'. So perhaps this feature would do what you desire?

    You can control who you invite to see posts about a Memory.
