I can see it...
@af @bonfire yeah sorry I wasn't really clear... imo curating threads is a key topic in bonfire (and in social network in general I guess). Curate means a lot, and I guess the concept spans from adding specific features to improve the thread experience (like the possibility to add a title to the whole thread - so that is easier to understand a post scope when navigating the timeline, to sort the replies by most liked / recent / replied comments, to give the possibility to close a thread or vote the best answer (in that specific case when it is a meaningful action to do), to add backlinks to create a tree of relevant threads, etc).
But what if we include the possibility to add roles to users for threads? Eg. the thread moderator, the thread merger (which is responsible of cleaning the thread tree by merging together similar answers together), thread taxonomer (who is responsible of putting threads in their relevant topics), and so on
I guess somehow is about exploring the interconnections between social gardening , social networks and forums :)
uhm I feel i was more confused than before, let see if some more coffee helps 😅 😅 😅
Feature request: being able to redact, not delete, arbitrary posts (according to the post boundary) to preserve the tree structure @BonfireBuilders #bonfire_feedback +bonfire
Feature request: arbitrary, federated vote to allow complex, online decision making, and prevent topics takeovers by rogue admins @BonfireBuilders #bonfire_feedback
on this regard, we had some initial chats with @douginamug about porting #ukuvota ( ukuvota.world/#/ ) as a bonfire extension, as we used and liked it quite a lot...

@af what do you mean by "user farming design" ?
@BonfireBuilders feature request, infinite scroll
we plan to add a configuration to switch between infinite scroll and load more button.
(Infinite scrolling is often considered a dark pattern, so it would be good to offer it as a conscious choice...)
@ivan @Tropic_the_Topic what site is this?
it is a mockup we did for an alternative topic page in bonfire
btw the local feed of the playground is so much a pleasure to read 😍
#bonfire #ux improvement of the day: Be able to expand / collapse long replied post in feeds: loom.com/share/fb0d64b67b1b4...
@BonfireBuilders How do I see who own a topic? I want to contribute but there's no meta as far as I can tell.
good point - we need to add that part - do you have any requirements in mind beside showing the team / permissions ?
+Tropic_the_Topic
Trying to imagine a better way to navigate the #topic page and its contents.
The Topic page should ease the way of discovering / read about its main subject and navigate through sub topics.
Much improvements and neat features can be added, I tried to keep it simple to start the discussion.
Hi! 👀
hello 😊 👋

@mayel @facebook_is_better_than_bonfire testing responses. So are topics like groups?
they share similarities, but the focus of topics is more about collecting and curating information to share with a broader scope (eg. all subscribed users) - think of it more as a "magazine" with its editorial team, or "channels" (like in several chat applications) but on steroids
