I have been running my own GoToSocial instance for a couple years and I totally forgot the joy of the Local Timeline. I was on Fosstodon in the early days when you got to know people via the local timeline and then it got too big and slowly that sense of community fades.
This feels like one of those early days of meeting new and interesting friends. Hi Local Timeline folks! I hope for many little littleFedis.
@shom there's also a plan to improve the bubble timeline, to help people to discover more people without leaving their own instance
@stefano I haven't understood Bubble yet, that's interesting to hear. Did I miss reading about it in one of your posts?
@shom it's similar to the Akkoma bubble concept. In short, the admin can set some "bubble" instances and their posts will be shown in the Bubble timeline. A sort of "close" instances list.
@eliastorres @shom this is the admin/bubble instances pages of this instance
Nice, does it make sense to consider adding individual profiles or specific parts of a remote instance?
Like having in the bubble:
- Whole instances https://example.net/
- Specific accounts like https://mathstodon.xyz/@johncarlosbaez
- Remote tags, like https://mastodon.social/tags/CostaRica
@eliastorres @shom yes, exactly, this is what we're thinking about - how to consider the bubble instance, the granularity and scope

@stefano @eliastorres this is a really nice concept, I had not heard of it before.
I love the conversation you are having here. I think granularity controls definitely makes sense down the line. At an instance level tags make the most sense but I can also see use cases for individual accounts.
This is a really neat way for instance admins to provide a more curated experience.
Also loving the first sneak peek of the admin interface. 👀
@shom @eliastorres eheh I was sure you'd appreciate it 😉
Fancy another glance?
@stefano loving what I'm seeing!! Gimme gimme gimme. No I kid, but absolutely looking forward to the code releases and self-host builds. Looks fantastic, please take your time!
