hi @edumerco 😊 the logic to configure the left sidebar is already in place, and we use it for customize the sidebar based on which extension are enabled (now it's not that obvious because this instance has not many extensions enabled, but you can see that recently it was added a "publication" link at the bottom of the sidebar, because we enabled the open_science extension ) .

We do not offer yet the possibility for users to customize it - mostly because once we will add Groups and Topics, the left sidebar will likely be rethinked a bit to properly include those as well...

@anhnguyennguyen thanks for your words 😊 we plan to keep using this instance beyond the beta phase to keep showcasing beta features and test it in the open (and potentially co-design new features with users) - but federation will remain disabled. We do not want to have a flagship instance, but rather support users and communities to setup their own, eventually easing the hosting process  bonfirenetworks.org/hosting/

We're teaming up with students in the Inclusive Learning Environments program to reimagine open digital learning spaces. Expect innovative ideas that will enhance how to design with Bonfire ( bonfirenetworks.org/design ) and possibly spark new developmental pathways! #BonfireWorkshop #UCL #InclusiveLearning
