testing bonfire federation
@BonfireBuilders When I close compose window after making a post it asks me if I want to lose draft. this seem unexpected.
Hello World!
I am trying Bonfire out for the first time, and would love to make some friends! I am excited to be on the social platform of the future; I even plan to host my own bonfire instance sometime in the future! Tell me your favorite corner of Bonfire!
Who here remembers when the default profile pictures for bonfire came as robots instead of these cute cats? 😂

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 😅 😅 😅
this is all very brilliant

"Dark patterns", but with an actual meaning. Manipulation is manipulation. A lie is a lie.<p><br/></p><p>A manipulation victim doesn't opt in to be manipulated.</p>
Aren't I allowed to define my own addictions? Few people here know me if any.
This is the single most dangerous corporate web portal I've ever seen
@BonfireBuilders feature request, infinite scroll
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.

@BonfireBuilders maybe make the post window close after message sent?
btw the local feed of the playground is so much a pleasure to read 😍
I've been reading local since the beginning lol
good point - we need to add that part - do you have any requirements in mind beside showing the team / permissions ?
not really. my only gripe was it was impossible to contribute from what I could tell. I'm sure yall will flesh out the UX with time.
@BonfireBuilders How do I see who own a topic? I want to contribute but there's no meta as far as I can tell.
Om namah shivaya 🙏
Topics are similar to the way <a href="https://a.gup.pe" target="_blank">a.gup.pe</a> implemented groups on the fediverse. I think of them more like "federated hashtags".<p><br/></p><p>You can include one or multiple topics (using + mentions, which share similarities with both @ mentions or # tagging) is the text of a post, and that post is still published in your timeline and your followers' feeds as usual, and in addition submitted (or published directly, depending on the topic's boundaries) to the topic's timeline and to followers of the topic. </p><p><br/></p><p>This is different from typical groups where you usually post 'in' just one group at a time, and the group moderators sort-of "own" the post (they can delete it for example, whereas with topics they only control whether the post is shown/shared by the topic). This also does away with cross-posting something in several places, since one canonical post can be shared in multiple places.</p><p><br/></p><p>In our implementation, you can also add tag something you or somebody else posted (depending on the post's boundaries) at any any time, not only when initially posting.</p>
