@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!

@J3T4R0 Are you on matrix? I hang out in #anagora:matrix.org
@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 😅 😅 😅

this is all very brilliant

@BonfireBuilders maybe make the post window close after message sent?

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.

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>

@mayel @facebook_is_better_than_bonfire @ivan this is really quite brilliant. I've never even thought of doing these sorts of solutions before. kudos!
