    • 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.

      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.

      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.

            Oh no knock on kbin here from me. Seems the design is still community/magazine focused is all.

            The suggestion in my previous post (which others have made BTW) is not just about having both microblogging and reddit-like platforms in one place, but, IMO, creating a blogosphere type of platform fused with a Reddit-like platform, and which, if you want, can function like microblogging and have microblogging platforms easily mapped onto it (for federation purposes).

      I wouldn’t stop using Lemmy because of “user profiles”, but this was one of the worst things implemented by Reddit. Basically started the slide into Facebook-tier
