Mutual Friends

I posted this on the feature request board o the vrc discord and I got some DMs saying that it’s a good idea, thought I would post it here. Basically my feature request is to add a way to see if you have mutual friends with someone, have it be a random person or some of your friends.

So, what I personally and a few others have requested before me, maybe not on here, is a feature that allows you to see mutual friends. A mutual friends viewer would allow you to know that your friends had met an individual already, and will help improve some people's "clicks."

Very good idea. I support this but users should be able to choose whether to let others see their mutual friendsor not, I mean a switch in privacy settings.

dqwyy: 100% agree- I think just publicly having that to anyone in the world or on your friends list is a bit too open for some people, like me personally.

King Nex: What's so open about seeing each other's mutual friends, in the same time he's mine and yours friend too?

envy Dash: I had a stroke reading that- but I just don't want every single person to be nosey in my business and I'm sure others agree. Especially as a creator, not everyone wants the option to be stalked. Someone who wants to be left alone and hang out with a few close friends... could very easily be harassed by someone joining off of a mutual only because they know they are mutuals or getting to know said mutual to use or get something from someone. They'd be forced to live in invite only worlds if it became a personal issue. It's just annoying. Obviously wouldn't affect everyone, but that's why we have settings. If there was a toggle to make it public, friends only, or off, that would be very nice.

Neat ? would be nice to know if that person is related to X or Y friendgroup.

This would be neat, or even just an indication that a user has no mutual friends with you.
Often I get added by people and I'm not really sure who they are, whether they're someone that was an instance with my friends and I, or whether they're someone that added me from a game world.

Not so sure about random people seeing mutuals (One example is friending someone, and people on their friend-list wanting to friend you), but I don't see why not for my friends knowing who our mutuals are.

FriendlyGaymer: I think the solve for this is simple, can even use instance terminology. It can be an option to restrict who it is shown to, with the following:
- friends+ (friends of friends)
- friends
- no one

I need this so badly it's unreal i dont evan have that many friends compared to some players but oh my is it ever hard to keep track to the point that its impossible

I think having a "mutual friends" section would go a long way to improve relations between users. I think it is nice to see who is already friends with someone, and plus it can even be a conversation starter.
And then for people that do not wish to show their mutual friends, they can toggle it off. This is a feature that exists on many other social platforms, and I think it would be useful here.
