Is it really decentralized and private?

    Hi @maegul, actually you can track people you follow in the /sub feed at https://kbin.social/sub/microblog. It might seem a bit chaotic, with what looks like random posts, but in reality, each of them has a response from someone you follow (or an boost post/comment). But you’re right, it’s not perfect yet, and the presentation will be improved in the coming weeks/months to highlight specific comments from people you follow on front. I’ll probably write about it in my devlog soon ;)

      I will also separate this feed with the ability to track only users, excluding communities.

        The option to keep followed users and subscribed communities separate in the feed will be great!
        Really impressed by the pace of progress lately - it’s very much appreciated. You’re building something special here. :)

        Could you maybe give users the ability to exclude certain communities/hashtags? Some hashtags associated with communities like #fediverse seem to be overused to the point that following it barely filters content.

      Thanks Ernest!! Hope you’re going well and kbin development isn’t too much of a burden!!

      I’ve seen that view before, and just checked it now again. It still feels like there’s more in the feed than should be. I’m probably missing some of the boosts etc that you cite, but it feels to me like some posts are coming in without it being clear why they’re there. My guess has always been that my subscriptions are playing a role somehow.

      Anyway, hope the new changes go well!! And thanks for the response!
