hello world
Hmm… and I guess there's
№4 feedback. In the post above, the text after the @-tag seems to have been considered as part of the @-tag link and cut the report.
The missing text is explaining feedback №3. When the webfinger did not work, I tried a URL. I thought the alias section was for links, and clicking alias will activate a new field to give the link a custom name after the system verifies it as legit. But instead it broke my settings page and can no longer use it — which led me to realize it was not meant for as links.
feedback so far 🙂
- During profile creation, if a user enters a username/handle first before the name field, the handle field is overwritten by the name field. Expectid behaviour: since the handle field was edited already, editing the name field shouldn't affect the handle field.
- In the profile settings page, it's not clear if the avatar and cover are being uploaded or processed. It took me a couple of tries to notice there was an upload percentage progress, however, after it reaches 100% it disappears and still takes a while to show the uploaded avatar or cover.
- Still in the profile settings page. The "alias" section was confusing. I tried entering @youronlyone@c.im but I got a no response error (I'm assuming it's not federatid yet since this is a demo instance), so I tried entering a URL instead. That broke my profile settings page. 😅 I thought it was for links but I guess not.

just setting up my bonfire
@toychicken hello 😊 feel free to look around and share any feedback you have! We're currently collecting user-reported bugs and feedback to address as we go.
@ivan one very minor one so far. Input boxes on sign-up go a bit 'bright', and can't see if I've pasted in password correctly. NB, am using 1password to generate - don't know if that makes any difference.
Intro post. Checking out the Bonfire.
OK - it's first post time. Traditionally, one introduces oneself and puts some kind of hashtag, like #intro #introduction or #newHere
I'm really interested in Bonfire, and how it's adopted a bit of a 'wait-and-see' vibe, whilst quietly getting on with making their thing. Let's see how it goes.
For those that care, I'm also on Mastodon and BlueSky but most of my stuff goes on my own site - [LRG.io]( https://l

Feedback and bugs
Just joined 3 minutes ago.
I'm going to list my feedbacks and issues I find:
- Missing tooltips when mouse-over the icon under posts in the timeline. The "Reply" and "Boost" icons have a tooltip when hovering the mouse cursor, but the "fire" and the "bookmark" icons don't have any. Because of that, I'm uncertain what the "fire" icon means. I'm guessing it's a "Like"?
- Settings Profile: Error message when trying to open my profile in Settings. It started after I tried to add a profile picture and some aliases to my Pixelfed and Mastodon accounts. Because of that, it seems like I can't edit my profile anymore.
I will update this post if I find more issues
@narF added your feedbacks in our next release candidate, thanks 😊 github.com/bonfire-networks/...
Seems like I can't access Settings at all anymore 😞
The error message is pretty long and unclear: extrait.facil.services/?6e50...
More tiny annoyances:
- Another button lacking explanation tooltip on mouse-over:
In the Notification screen, top right of the middle section: the double checkmark icon.
- On Mastodon, we can paste a picture from the clipboard in the post box and it attaches the image as a file attachment. That doesn't seem to work on Bonfire.

Hello! First public post here. I have some questions and feedback about the project.
For reference, I'm someone who has never made an account on the Fediverse for a number of reasons -- one of which being that unfortunately a lot of the Fediverse is modeled off of Twitter, and what I look for in a website is more along the lines of Dreamwidth. What caught my eye about Bonfire is the rejection of venture capital, the interest in prosocial design, the ability to make long posts, and the circles feature, which sounds a lot like Dreamwidth's custom access filters.
So on that note, I'd like to ask about the points of reference and overall vision for Bonfire. It looks like Bonfire Social was modeled after Mastodon in some ways, and I'm curious about what other websites, software, or platforms you'd be willing to draw on for inspiration.
For instance...
-
Can you say more about the vision for the "groups" feature? I can't tell from the description if I should be picturing something like traditional forums or if it's something more like Reddit subreddits and Dreamwidth communities.
-
So far I can't tell if there's already a blacklist/filtering feature or plans to add one. I would hope so, given the emphasis on customization. To make blacklists more effective, I think it would make sense to give tags a separate text field, like on Tumblr and Pillowfort, since Twitter-style inline tags tend to lead people to tag less often (which makes blacklists less effective).
-
I would also be strongly interested in Bonfire adding more comment controls like the ones on Dreamwidth, Pillowfort, and Wordpress, which I think are an important prosocial measure and something sorely lacking on Mastodon. Is that something you'd be willing to add to your roadmap?
