@stefano I've got something to add to the littleFedi wishlist:
The ability to filter my posts from my profile.
I'll expand, for clarity. When I go to my profile, I see three tabs:
- Posts
- Media
- Blog
When I select the "Posts" tab, I see my replies and things I've boosted mixed in with things I've posted. This can make searching for a particular thing I've posted quite the chore; lots of scrolling through boosts and replies to get to the last thing I posted. It would be very nifty indeed if the "Posts" tab included filters for "Replies" and "Boosts" that I could turn on and off at my discretion.
Mastodon recently did exactly this, and I have to say that it's something that really should have been included from the very beginning. It just doesn't make much sense to me for a tab that's ostensibly focused on my posts to be filled with others' posts (through boosts) and my replies (usually to others' posts).
If this can be added to littleFedi at some point, I'd be very grateful 🙏
@pluvialgeist @stefano #phanpy handles this very nicely with Replies, Boosts, Media, and featured hashtags. Example profile (and baby goats): https://phanpy.social/#/mastodon.social/a/108194428751240116
Also the dev actively encourages other clients and platforms to use the UI/UX concepts from Phanpy. Boost carousel and the way notification grouping is handled truly elevates my whole fedi experience!

While I love phanpy, the question (to me) is:
Should littlefedi become kind of a "copy" of phanpy?
Imo no, it shouldn't (and surely won't).
Even if phanpy does a lot of things quite nicely and ux/ui-wise very cleverly, what distinguishes littlefedi in the functionality it offers from phanpy or other fedi-software in the long run?
@fasnix definitely wouldn't want littleFedi to be a copy just a really good profile viewing experience. Having the fillers is great and being able to control them via url params is fantastic if someone wants to link their profile from another site (like a blog or another social media platform) so just their posts are shown on visit. This is great stuff!
