@kainoa@freeplay it's not "0 Replies" though rn, it's just "Replies". I understood that it's tricky to add "No" instead of a number, but since we already show a number, I guess it could show "0 Replies" instead of "Replies". Not the best solution, but I still think it could be a quick fix for the confusion @maikelthedev@blahaj.zone describes.
@maikelthedev@blahaj.zone You're right, it's not ideal, my suggestion was to at least not show "Replies" when there are no replies/boosts/reactions etc, so no need for tabs. However, when there are boosts but no replies, I think we need an empty/default tab, because if the only tab was Boosts for example, it would be a little confusing, as users expect to see any replies there. As @kainoa@calckey.social said, the default view has always been showing replies under a post, and we should keep it this way. Perhaps it should say "0 Replies" or we could add a "No replies" under the tab, where the replies would normally appear. Let me also bring @freeplay into this, who had the idea for the tabs and implemented it =)
@youronlyone@c.im Well, to be fair, I think that a lot of this is a conscious choice. For example, here's how the creator of Pixelfed announced it: https://calckey.social/notes/7d7vndjcts =) Friendica, last time I checked, looked a lot like facebook 15 years ago, and Mastodon is also obviously a different take on Twitter's concept. They are all doing their own thing, one way or another, but I think it's fair to say they were heavily influenced by already established centralized platforms. I think *key differ to some extent because Misskey started as a non-federated community software. I guess today we has more in common with Twitter (or Mastodon), but there are some features that make it a little more familiar to facebook users as well.
@atomicpoet@kainoa@freeplay@disc@misskey.io@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems Alright, here's an idea. I don't agree that "Disable MFM with animation" should be enabled by default. However, maybe we could add another toggle, saying "Play MFM with animation automatically", and that could be turned off by default. When off, it would display a "play" button, and you'd have to press it for the mfm animation to play. Like GIFs not autoplaying, for example.
We already have a tutorial, and experience has shown that many people skip it. If we keep adding more, the chances of them being skipped altogether are higher.
What I suggested doesn't "disable" MFM animations, it just prompts you to click play to view them. Then you'd be able to go to settings and change that to autoplay, if you prefer it that way - or to completely disable it. It would be enabled by default, just not animated without an action from the user.
@atomicpoet@kainoa@freeplay@disc@misskey.io@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems Basically, the solution could be a combination of both suggestions: Have "automatically play animated mfm" disabled by default, but explain what it is and give the option to enable it during the tutorial that new users see. This way, if someone skips it, they will still be protected. If they read the tutorial, they can enable autoplay to have the current default behaviour. Everybody happy =)
Alright, this is priceless - this is why we say that the #Fediverse is magical!
So, @kraft who works at Automattic (creator of WordPress) pops in to check out #Calckey. We start a chat about how they have a "Share to Mastodon" button, but that doesn't cover the richness of platforms in the Fediverse. Bam, less than 12 hours later, Automattic are officially discussing how they could implement a "Share to the Fediverse" button, connecting the rest of the platforms potentially to hundreds of millions of websites using WordPress.
Hello @Gargron@mastodon.social! It’s the first time I’m addressing you, so let me first of all say a big THANK YOU for your contribution to the #Fediverse! The reason I’m writing this is that I saw that @mastodon recently announced quote posts - I think that’s a great decision! As you probably know, #Misskey and #Calckey already have an implementation for quotes, where the quote appears under the original post (like a comment, but flagged as a quote), and where the original poster is notified when quoted.
I don’t know how you intend to implement this feature in Mastodon, but since our users interact with each other, I thought it would be a good idea to suggest some direct communication with @syuilo@misskey.io (who originally implemented this in #Misskey) and @kainoa (our lead dev at #calkey), to make sure our implementations will be compatible. Even if there are concerns and things that you’d prefer to be done differently, I think that they should be discussed, and #Misskey and #Calckey should consider adjusting their implementations, so that they interoperate seamlessly with yours. The idea is, let’s see if it’s possible to find a common way to do this, so that users have a smoother, safer and more consistent experience, on such a sensitive issue!
I think that the widest possible interoperability in the #Fediverse is to everyone’s benefit, and it gives a better experience for every #fedizen, no matter what platform they’re on. Let’s try to work closer together on common features or problems and find common solutions - we’ve got this. :blobbonedealwithit:
Posting this publicly because I think that more cooperation between fedi platforms is something many people in here would love to see – myself included! Hoping this is received positively and in good faith. United fedi is best fedi =) :fediverse:
