@Audaxocles Tbh I'm probably not the best at advocating for its features! But I can try.
1st thing I thought of us was you can use markdown when writing comments and use emoji reactions. It supports longer form writing and is generally a more reactive web interface.
Last thought would be that you can see historical activity of accounts, to help you understand how much and what kind of activity an account primarily does (ie do they boost a ton vs post their own stuff)
@maegul@Audaxocles I haven't used them much yet but my understanding is channels are like a hashtag in that they combine posts. But a meta connection rather than in the text of the post? Like facebook groups -- you can join and post under a category (channel). I'm not a part of any but concept seems good.
Also antennas seem to be like lists and following multiple hashtags with logical combinations.
@maegul@Audaxocles I 100% agree. Big need for that. And I'm sure it will change rapidly but an attempt at the current moment in time at least most definitely should be made.
