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... 😁

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
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
@BonfireBuilders #bonfire_feedback
@jdp23 fixed as well, thanks for the reports!
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).
@jdp23 You should now be able to close these
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
@jdp23 That bug is now fixed 😊
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).
@Oceane That bug is now fixed (but please note that federation is currently disabled)
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... 😶
oops this was supposed to be a new post, not a reply

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 😁
@ivan @lefterino My first impression is that this is a good idea. Are there any expected/unexpected downsides to this?
@zabbeer @ivan @lefterino Yeah I think showing the number of comments (both in feeds and at the top of a discussion page) would be useful. Maybe better to not show the number of boosts/likes by default though, and either make that a setting you enable or a toggle/button/menu to explicitly choose when see them.
