Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?????

@edumerco @mayel i like the idea, wonder how to represent the point in discussion in nested threads?

@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... 😁

@mayel @ivan
Quantity of comments is good and necessary and has already been discussed.

WDYT about including the "position" in the discussion?
It helps to understand the present comment/post in context.
This indicator has a simple structure: P/T where:

• P is position and
• T is total number of comments.

I know it's not that easy to count (do we count bifurcations and/or other open lines of discussion?) buy it gives some idea.

It is not the same to see "23 comments" that "comment 21 of 23" or "comment 4 of 23".

Ideas, critiques, hurrahs, anguished screams or other reactions to this? 😉

At present, our discussion page lacks any statistical data about the thread, a feature that is pretty common in most of social networks or forums. These platforms typically display a total count of replies, boosts, likes, and participants.

Take Discourse as an example, a platform with a great UX for productive conversations. Discourse displays the list of links shared in a post and provides a statistical box that details thread engagement. This includes also an approximation of the time required to read through the entire thread, if significant.

What are some meaningful statistics we must/should incorporate for the Bonfire 1.0 release? We are seeking to find statistics that can effectively foster engagement in discussions without solely promoting addictive behaviors. Any thoughts or suggestions ? #bonifre_feedback

@edumerco thanks, not in the first release

I encountered this issue while using Bonfire:

After creating an account, clicked on the x on the "Hey Jon P, nice to meet you" to dismiss it, and immediately got a "Sorry the app encoutered an unexpected error" message.

I'm on Firefox 114.0.1, on a Mac, running PrivacyBadger and uBlockOrigin

Also after I make a post, the "Posted" popup doesn't go away of its own accord and there's no obvious want to dismiss it (other than clicking on Show, which isn't what I want to do).

And one more, @BonfireBuilders #BonfireFeedback:

I got an error trying to add alt text to the above images.

Sorry, the function do_handle_event/3 in module Elixir.Bonfire.UI.Common.ReusableModalLive didn't receive the data it was expecting

So I tested ActivityPub federation with a blog post I made (https://océane.fr/la-maltraitance-numérique) and I got this error message:

> found duplicate ID "open_preview-" for component Bonfire.UI.Common.OpenModalLive when rendering template

(with the “this is fine” gif page).

#bonfire_feedback

now that i think of it, can bonfire not follow mastodon on the ''like'' = star thing?lol

everytime i click on it i have years of star= favorite bookmark taught by internet in the brain

a bonfire is a fire sooooooooooooooo, maybe a fire reaction? no likes, only hyped fires 😁

That highlights the need for open data and federation, because while it'd be quite simple to create a replacement for that app, the value is in the network effects (the more users the better) and the accumulated data. Time to federate our network effects!

It's frustrating how late stage capitalism also ruins lots of cool apps, and I'm not talking of Twitter/Reddit, but simple things like Instabridge, which was a simple way to share and find the password of public WiFi hotspots (eg. from cafes). Now the app also tries to also be your mobile browser, your VPN, your home screen, etc, and shows you a video advert right after your contribute a password... 😶
