Private conversations

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.

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

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'
