I wrote a long post and lost the whole thing when the text box disappeared. I'll try again but less verbose and maybe more shorter posts so I don't lose so much work.
So this might be part 1 of several.
I am interested in features that allow me to follow conversational threads in #bonfire - like in Mastodon you can click the three dots at the bottom left of a post, open a little selection menu, and select "Expand this post".

#bonfire #future
At some point, I fantasize about deploying Bonfire in our region en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driftl... where some of the conditions and seed organizations exist to grow into a regional economic system.
I don't think Bonfire is ready yet, but that is why I am here trying it out and suggesting improvements.
One question: once upon a time, bonfirenetworks.org/ had a "flavour" and I think also a demo/experiment focused on offers and wants. I could not find that now. I did find bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo... which seems to be somewhat related, but did not explicitly mention offers and wants or offers and needs or whatever you called it. The flavour might have had a totally different name.
But anyway. beyond being generally usable, that's one of the features we would need.
When generally usable, I would be happy to pitch in on coding and testing at that stage. I might also be able to help on performance improvements somehow. They seem to be the biggest hurdle for general usability now, altho I might be missing some other big hurdles.
What do y'all think? How realistic is that fantasy, and very roughly when? Where "when" is this year, next year, or not in the foreseeable future?
Also, if you want to suggest a circle or other boundary for discussions like this, please let me know and I will comply.
This is an afterthought to the #bonfire threaded conversations thread, where I clicked on a message in the Discussions list, and it opened the whole thread, as a lovely indented list!
Took a long time to repond so that might have happened in other lists, but I am out of time for this experiment today.
But that was a lovely indented thread presentation! Thank you, Bonfire gang!
No it's not. That last post was part 4, and I said it was the end, but this is part 5 and really the end...
Anyway, that last message should have been part 3, and this is part 4 and the end....
This is one of the places where Bonfire's slow response to each of the feed-filling selections gets in the way.
But it looks like all of my messages in this thread appear in Activities and Discussions, but only the first message appears in Posts.
Does that seem accurate?
Any other documentation about how conversational threads work in Bonfire?
#bonfire #bonfire-feedback #bonfireFeedback ?
Part 3: what to these 3 selections in the left panel mean?
Activities, Posts, Discussions.
Activities and Posts seem to show posts from everybody. Are Discussions different? Let's see if I can tell. Answer in next message, so I don't lost this one...
Part 2: I vaguely remember, but might have imagined, a feature that allowed me to show all the posts in a thread. Does that exist? If so, how to access it?
