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/

around a bonfire, civilisations begin
around a bonfire, stories are told
around a bonfire, families grow
around a bonfire, revolutions are conspired
around a bonfire, alliances are strengthened
around a bonfire, futures are predicted
around a bonfire, evils are cured
around a bonfire, ancestors visit
around a bonfire, knowledges are shared
around a bonfire, what will you do?

Working on the user preferences to include in the 1.0, do you think we're missing something ? what aspect, feature or behaviour you'd like to furter customize or control in a federated social network?

ah interesting, nested replies in reverse cronological order (newer first) may confuse the discussion...
In this screenshot, my "agree" comment was directed to @mayel first comment (see the date time), while instead in this visualisation seems referred to @lne comment (that was more recent than my reply)
