- Low hanging: user defined multi-communities
- Hard (high hanging fruit): allow users to look and behave like communities so that we can follow each other (and masto users too ) as we would normal communities, where each user has their own (or multiple!) “community” they can populate and moderate as they see fit.
You can follow people and do regular posts on kbin in case you didn’t know yet.
But, as far as I know, you can’t have a feed of posts from people that you follow, instead they get folded into the magazines.
Huh, seems like you’re right or at least I couldn’t find anything like that. I feel like theoretically ot should be able to do that, so I’m gonna snoop around a bit more and maybe file an issue. Doesn’t help that kbin’s UI is still pretty atrocious at the moment, but the project is still fairly young and developing at a good pace at least.
As long as this is opt-in, I’m okay with this. I personally don’t want to have followers.
Follow requests! A standard feature from the microblogging side all other software already support.
In fact, all follows in ActivityPub are follow requests by default (normal follows are simulated by just auto-accepting all follows serverside). That’s why when servers are overloaded you end up with the “subscription pending” message, as the Accept/Follow activity never reaches your server.
