   @alex thanks for Soapbox/Rebased!
   
   I just finished setting up my server, but I don't understand why it's lacking the activity counter (likes, responses, shares). This is how it looks in your instance vs mine:

     @test_test I'm not sure why we don't federate stats, probably so people can't manipulate trends. But the reason the count is correct on my server is because I have every actual Like and Repost object in my database to back it up. You only have the post itself.

     @test_test You'd have to modify the code. The endgoal is to remove that timeline entirely.

     I wanted to go deeper and ended up reading some documentation and threads and whatnot. Just by interacting with some other folks my feed is getting some activity now.
     
     One more question: Is the Fediverse timeline only available through the 'More...' menu? I've seen that's the welcome page for some instances using the Pleroma FE. I would like to make that option 1) easily accessible and 2) make it somehow the landing page for non-logged users. Is that doable?

     Why would you want to remove it? I mean it is quite intense but its sometimes nice to scroll through to fish some things out you would never do.

     @mint @test_test @alex I actually worked with a team that paid to do a case study on Fediverse usability and one of the biggest complaints we had from the user feedback was that the federated timeline was extremely confusing and overwhelming.

     @balrog_booger @test_test And vice versa, the stats for local posts are more correct on your server. You need to look at the local version for correct stats.

     I’m running Rebased, and my experience is that the instance won’t really pick up things from before it started federating with another particular server. Take a look at some posts from Gleasonator that are posted/interacted with later, and you’ll see much more correct numbers

     @mint @alex @test_test what we need is search service that at least works by hashtag so people can use hashtags to find posts based on the topics they want.
     
     forcing people to join an entire server for a topic is not acceptable as the only option
     
     instances need to opt in and all public posts with hashtags should go to this service so there's some real discoverability on the fediverse
     
     we really, really need these centralized indexes. people need to be able to find the information they're looking for. this is an information sharing service, not a private communications network

     @dia @test_test @mint Improved follower suggestions, trends, groups. I'm not going to remove the Fediverse timeline entirely, but we have to acknowledge if our goal is to grow the Fediverse, it's not a helpful feature for new users.

     How about this instead. If someone's post is visible only to their followers and I reply to it, the default visibility for my reply is that only *my* followers can see it. Seems to be the case across the Fediverse. Also seems not to make any sense.

     @alex @test_test Didn't I point out a year or two ago that the reason you do dumb shit like this is that you think in terms of silo'd instances, that your endgame is making a mediocre Twitter clone, and that you don't understand the network?
     
     So now you're on "Let's just kill TWKN", that's wonderful. Genius maneuver: ape Twitter to the extent that you try to pretend there's no network.
     
     Fucking hell, you're retarded.

     Won’t that make fedi useless for single user or small instances if the federated view disappears?

     @mint @test_test @alex the counter argument here is that the TKWN doesn't scale. for small and big instances it means a lot of extra hosting costs (being flooded by thousands of streaming updates) and noise (not finding anything useful). I used akkoma's bubble timeline feature to add instances to make a custom TKWN because TKWN has been useless lately with the flood of twitter refugees

     Are you able to describe Akkoma’s bubble feature for those that don’t understand it?

     Besides Akkoma’s bubble feature, is there any other Akkoma advantages you see?

     I’m trying to learn so i can create a fair and balanced review of Akkoma vs. Rebased: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pleroma/comments/yu8xof/pleromas_rebased_fork_vs_akkoma_fork/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb
