In-reply-to » Hah šŸ¤£ @dfaria Your @dfaria.eu feed really does consume about >50% of a "Discover" search with filters "Without replies" and "Hide my posts". šŸ¤£ Media 36/2 = 18 at 25 Twts per page, that's about ~72% of the search/view real estate you're taking up! wow šŸ¤© -- I'd be very interested to hear what ideas you have to improve this? Those search filters were created so you could sift through either your own Timeline or the Discover view easily.

@prologic@twtxt.net check the links on this twtxt. You are talking to the void. šŸ˜Š

In-reply-to » One of the problems I have with changing the way the "Discover" view works whilst at the same time keeping it "clean" (depending on who you talk to) is the behaviour between "Timeline" (what you follow explicitly) and "Discover" (a view into the pod's cache). See attached, where I by default prefer a "collapsed" view (hiding replies). The default behaviour for Discover (no controls) is "everything".

Maybe some kind of option that when enabled will collapse multiple posts from the same feed and only show the top most recent one, with some kind of UI/UX that indicate ā€œN more todayā€¦ā€?

Iā€™d also be very interested to hear what some other users of yarnd have to say, sadly there are only a handful of pods around that Iā€™m aware of and/or that peer with my pod (twtxt.net) šŸ˜¢

Maybe Yarn.social/Twtxt has become boring or too niche? šŸ¤” Anyway cc @eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com @xuu@txt.sour.is @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no @abucci@anthony.buc.ci

Another feature as mentioned in #iq4rusa is using filters on the Timeline and/or Discover views. One of the most common ā€œworkflowsā€ I use is to go to ā€œDiscoverā€ and use the ā€œWithout repliesā€ and ā€œHide my postsā€ filters to see if thereā€™s anything new and interesting in my podā€™s cache I havenā€™t seen before or maybe could reply to (or not).

Of course as Iā€™ve locked down registrations on my pod anyway (have kept it locked down now for months) due to SPAM accounts and bots just creating rubbish accounts/feeds, this workflow may no longer be all that useful? hmmm šŸ§

One thing to be clear about here is that it was never my intention for a podā€™s ā€œfront pageā€ (Discover view when not logged in) to be any kind of ā€œlistingā€ or ā€œadvertisingā€ or such. That was completely unintentional. If this is expected somehow, we should probably discuss that too more seriously and discuss its merits, and if it can be support, should be supported, or if thereā€™s a different solution entirely? For example. there is the search engine which could show a global feed/timeline view, albeit the domain could be something different.

Iā€™d like to hear some ideas that fix or improve the signal / noise ratio for all users and even benefits non-users (anonymous users just hitting a podā€™s index page, which is the discover view)

Thereā€™s also a pod-level setting (admins) that control what the ā€œDiscoverā€ (or front page if youā€™re not logged in) display:

This is either:

  • Local posts only (local to the pod)
  • All posts in the podā€™s cache

One of the problems I have with changing the way the ā€œDiscoverā€ view works whilst at the same time keeping it ā€œcleanā€ (depending on who you talk to) is the behaviour between ā€œTimelineā€ (what you follow explicitly) and ā€œDiscoverā€ (a view into the podā€™s cache). See attached, where I by default prefer a ā€œcollapsedā€ view (hiding replies). The default behaviour for Discover (no controls) is ā€œeverythingā€.

The reason I bring this up is that part of my ā€œworkflowā€ has become to occasionally use the ā€œDiscoverā€ view to see if Iā€™ve missed any ā€œin-betweenā€ replies that often happen, find new interesting folks to follow and/or interact with, etc.

Changing this to anything but the current behaviour would break this flow for me šŸ˜¢

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com here as in, here? Itā€™s a quarter to 22:00 here, and after a rather tiresome day I am trying to rest, while alternating with folding freshly washed and dried clothes. Quiet indeed! šŸ˜…
