A new dawn

Hi Everyone,

This might be a bit long, so the tl;dr is that I'm happy of moving out from something going rotten, and I am optimisting on this all "fediverse" concept, so I am giving ideas on how to improve.

1.The whole concept of fediverse is still quite unknown to me, but I think it's positive to be able to somehow link different platforms dedicated to different uses, managed differently and used by different "personas"...
2. I would not take the experience from previous "prisons" on social media as something to pursue here, but check the concept and use to improve what we share, with who we share it, and also what we consume. Don't look in the rearview mirror, look to the windshield...
3. There will be of course "growing pains" where somehow fringe platforms suddenly got a serious uptick in popularity and use do to others' incompetence. You will have good and bad experiences, speak up and figure out how you can help improve everyone's experience.

That said, it would be nice to:

  • Have a way to explore the magazines in a tile wall, that you could explore via e.g. tags - you search the tag "science" or "manga" and you get a wall of tiles with the name of the magazine and e..g. the language, country/region or rate of publications.
  • Have a separation between what are essentially text posts vs. "memes" or pic posts, where those are presented on the feed with different aspect of the tile.

That's for 2 days of browsing, I guess most people here will have a "cake day" around 12th June? 😁

There is a card view for the magazines that gives your more information on each of them when viewing.

One concept to understand the federation or communications that the server software's are running to talk between instances or sites all a part of the fediverse. A helpful resource is https://fediverse.info/ and this is just 1 of a few. Since the Twitter migration of last year, many more "how-to" and understanding guides and sites became more popular as well for that topic.

I do agree seeing the Magazines in a card or tile format that might also have stats and descriptions like the user profiles do might be a good enhancement. Like you see here: https://kbin.social/people
