@ivan @mayel I of course don't understand the exact architecture, but one thing that I can image that could be a challenge is that the "village only feed" contains posts based on a property of their boundary ("only for villagers"). If I understand correctly: as a villager who is allowed to read a post with this boundary, I only know that I am allowed to read, not that the it has boundary "only for villagers". Or do I?

@mayel great, I will have a look at it. I would love to contribute! As a psychologist and teacher with some experience in R package development, I may actually be of a little help.
@mayel Oh, by the way: I am trying some things with circles and I don't seem to be able to add an account. If I click the tab "members" of my circle, I should be able to search find my alter ego (gilles_2) here and add, right?
Pretty sure I did this in the past, but I don't see my other self (gilles_2) anymore.
Maybe irrelevant, but I just changed the \ of gilles_2 Maybe something wnet wrong there.
@gilles yeah that's understandable! we still have a way to go with UX, in-app explanations, and docs. We've started drafting this document if you have any feedback on it: docs.bonfirenetworks.org/bou...

@mayel @ivanI am currently trying whether I can do this with boundaries and circles. Honestly, I find the connecting concepts boundaries and circles really hard to grasp. They seem to be implemented so generically (which is GREAT) that I have difficulties navigating.
Great to see so much development @ivan !
I have a qustion for a specific use case (could also ask this somewhere else, but why not here):
Say, I set up a rather local-focused bonfire instance, for example, inviting all people from my small village to have an account. I would like to be able to:
1) Post my opinion about, say, synthesizers to be read by people from all known instances. (and of course let all villager post about whatever they find interesting)
2) Allow villagers to post stuff about our village that is only visible for people in the village. For example, I could invite people for helping organizing a cleanup day in the village hall. If I understand correctly, this would be done by setting the boundary to local on my village instance.
3) On my instance, I would like to offer all accounts a default custom feed that only shows local stuff (as posted under point 2). Most villagers don't care about my opinion about synthesizers, they just wanna see what's going on in the village. (so, that is different from the current default "local" feed)
I would really love it when this third option would be possible. The literal example given here would be a serious use case, but I can think of many more.
