Hello, its nice and warm around this bonfire. Just having a prod and a poke at this platform, does anyone know how I can get in touch with the devs and possibly book a call?

I like the UI here.

Does it support* bold* and italic?

Also are there [link support](https://prma.dev)? Apparently not!

That wasn't easy to find this button 🫠

Just trying #BonFire . As an academic, opensource and fediverse proponent, I read this https://bonfirenetworks.org/app/open-science/ and thought that Bonfire seems the place to be. That said, I'm struggling to find those features and/or understand how the ecosystem works (i.e. is this a test instance separate and different in terms of features from open science?) #introduction

...providing there is someone here to read it.

I'm Baslow, an *alter kacker * residing in the Inwood neighborhood of Upper Manhattan -- in the same neighborhood, believe it or not, as my father grew up in. So, whether or not I'm a typical New Yorker, I will claim to be a real New Yorker.

Is this thing on?

I make note of my residence because, lately, I have been concerned with the various ways we tend to use the word community . I believe that we've been socialized to use the word in so many ways that are watered-down that we have almost lost sight of what primordial human communities -- the communities in which most of the traits we think of as human evolved -- must have been like.

This collective amnesia has, I believe, a bearing on the kinds of online communities we attempt to build and leads us -- even when we are attempting to combat them -- to reinforce forms of hyper-individualism, fragmentation and alienation which prevent us from sustaining broad solidarity and effective collective action in opposition to the forces which constrain and exploit us.

I am working on a projet I call **Communitarium **(mostly in my head, but there is an uninhabited model site) in which interested people could research and attempt to put into practice new, richer forms of online community.

I can't say I yet have a coherent account of everything I believe and what I think needs to be done but I'm happy to answer questions if anyone is even vaguely interested.

I wonder if #Bonfire will have quote boosts before v1.0 Or local vs following timeline feeds

P.S.: It does show on the laptop version, but not on the Android web browser version.

Hallo Bonfire-Community! Ab sofort poste ich auf Deutsch und Englisch über Bildung und Pädagogik, Behinderung und Behindertenrecht, Heil- und Sonderpädagogik, Inklusion sowie Kindheitspädagogik. Zusätzlich gewähre ich Einblicke in meine persönlichen Angelegenheiten. Währenddessen werde ich Bonfire weiterhin ausgiebig testen, bis die Plattform die Betaphase verlässt! Es freut mich, hier zu sein, und ich hoffe, mit allen in Kontakt zu treten!

Hello Bonfire community! Starting from now on, I will be sharing in English and German on topics that encompass disability and disability rights, early childhood education, education and pedagogy, inclusion, as well as special needs education. Additionally, I will provide insights into my personal matters. Meanwhile, I will continue extensively testing Bonfire until it exits the beta phase! I am excited to be here and look forward to connecting with everyone!

@ivan it just didn't want to load posts or let you view them, it just kept showing half an animated flame in all the feeds. Only once logged out, could one see the posts from yourself and others.

Works very nicely on desktop though...

Wish it was as smooth on iOS.

Trying again bonfire after several months. It seems it's getting better and better 🙂
