Hey! Hoping I'm not just creating noise by sharing this, but on mobile (iOS) I wasn't able to do a full sign up flow because the "create profile" button was hidden behind the "Login/Sign up" default bar. I'll mostly be accessing bonfire on mobile, so it was a tad frustrating to only partially sign up. I'm here now though!

This is what it looked like

I posted this article on Monday. thefulcrum.dev/grab-a-seat-a...

Please let me know if I need to make any corrections or if you have updates.

Is there a public test instance for Bonfire Community?

Davvero è federato? Non riesco a trovarmi. /CC @tassoman@orwell.fun

@mayel ​oh, thank you - should I just pester you guys right on github?

I have an account though haven't had much cause to use it other than just reading along. BUT ... my last IT role was "global support" which was a lot of bug hunting and filing issues and service and feature requests. If I can be useful I can figure github out a bit better, I'm sure.

@ivan @LiquidParasyte ​Oh, I totally understand that Ivan - I appreciate being here in the sandbox. I was just curious that when I added this account (me - here) as a member of a "Circle" from my bonfire.dinteg.ca account, that the "Circles" sub-menu appeared here in the sidebard indicating I had been added.

So we're not completely walled off here, but our posts do not get out?

I think I'm just poking things with sticks right now to see what happens, as I decide on platforms I want to start promoting to community orgs I'm volunteering with. I just need to wrap my brain around the experience and be able to explain it properly to people who are LESS likely than I am to figure things out.

@LiquidParasyte ​I'm curious as to how it happened with this instance supposedly not federating. So the functionality is to notify a remote user they've been added to a circle ... but not allow that remote user to see or use the circle? And is that the intended function or is that an oddity due to my other instance "federating" but this one is not?

@gilles @ivan oh that's an interesting idea! yeah the current local feed is simply activities from local users, but being able to filter using the boundary could be useful indeed!

@ivan will you be attending FediForum next week? I had hoped to join a session related to this. Unfortunately I literally have a direct conflict, I will be in another province at a 3-d forum related to my other studies for this term. That said, I will try to drop in when I can and am currently doing online-social jigsaw puzzles in my head and my Obsidian notes, trying to relate these two realms.

More when I suss it out, but I would love to connect in the coming weeks over whether I and some collaborators can support your team with some sort of early user testing and feedback.

I wonder if anyone is working on a bonfire extension for Quotes (maybe even Mastodon compliant ones?)

@ivan

• navigating backwards from Configure Dashboard , Feed presets, Import status, Custom Emojis, or Libraries and licenses will dump you back at the Home feed instead of the top view for Settings
• I would like to be able to tweak parameters of existing feeds rather than having to recreate them from scratch.

Hi there sandbox. Newly joined, but I've been watching what Bonfire's been up to since you turned up at a Fediforum, and looking forward to a chance to see how well you trample a Mastodon.

I'm part of the admin teams at wandering.shop and cosocial.ca, but also a grad student trying to figure out a pitch for a capstone project somewhere in civic tech + urban communites spaces, so getting more into Bonfire has been realllllly intriguing.

I like the changes made recently

• New bottom menu for mobile with home/search/notifications/inbox and Post
• Better UX for feed creation, plus RSS/atom generators (and you can delete them now!)
• Post button no longer obscures settings, and is properly accounted for on all views

• Still wish you could edit feeds afterwards
• Backwards navigation in Settings still needs work
