We've just released the bonfire 0.9.6 - read more on our blog bonfirenetworks.org/posts/re...
Several new layout and sorting options coming to the discussion page on Bonfire in the next release. Would love some feedback, such as:
- would you prefer them separated in three menus as in the screenshots, or all in one menu?
- any suggestions on clearer wording for some of the options? such as nested vs linear and the different chronological options...

It's fixed? The site took 37 seconds to load for me, loading this thread took 10 seconds.
@makoy It seems there's something else causing slowdown the last few days. Going to investigate!

📣 New Blog post ➡️ Making things intuitive is complex! Or, what we discovered via user testing.
A big Thank you to doug who run the User testing sessions and to all the people who registered and participated. The feedback we received was invaluable in highlighting areas for improvement.

Fetching Lemmy remote content by direct link works, but posting threads or commenting does not seem to sync to a remote.
Federation is disabled on this instance

yeah this is how i'm feeling about it. it's painfully slow, but i am so excited for the unique features it talks about. i'm just not sure if it's slow bc the implementation is that way or if there's another factor to it
@adobo there was an issue after the last deploy but that's now fixed, I suggest giving it another go to get a better idea of how it currently performs

You do not need any particular technical knowledge, skills, or prior experience of Bonfire. The user research interviews will be carried out in English by Dynamic Skillset ( @dajb )

@ivan can you try editing this comment? mixed by ivan
It works 😀
And we'll be adding an editor role to use boundaries & circles to collaborate on posts!

Here's what the new post editing feature currently looks like (with a history of edits showing what was changed). You can find it in the dropdown next to a post, try it out and let us know what you think!

🔥 We've just rolled out a new feature: thread titles.
Add a title to your thread - either initially or add it later as discussions develop and edit it if the discussion takes another direction. We're exploring if this offers more context to discussions, driving better user participation and streamlining discussion management. Try it and let us know what you think!
Meta on content warnings
@ivan I like how this now makes the difference between a title and a content warning clearer.

@ivan Maybe show the number of flagged/reported posts?
Usually when I see many posts being flagged it's a sign of the thread going wildly off-topic or even attracting bad actors. I then stay away from that discussion. However, e.g. in Discourse I won't know until I have read through the posts. Having that metric on the top post would help me spend my time and engagement elsewhere.
Thinking of risks, maybe showing flag stats would attract more of the same? I would hope not in an otherwise functional community, but some people seem to gather around car crashes or houses on fire.
@mayel Did that just recently change? When I posted this I was able to adjust those permissions, I had a screenshot of it.
@smitten Did you try actually toggling them? The UI might not be clear but they're read-only. We've only just deployed custom roles and the editable toggles there have a different design.
@ivan @mayel
This possiblity of a "visible only inside the instance" group may be quite useful for community work and coordination.
It will also put Bonfire in league with any channel based chat (CBC) but with a richer and more powerful feature set. 😉
Do you believe it may be a desirable use case? I can think of a few classic examples in our own case (an intentional semi rural community) and many others... 😁
