@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!
@shom
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 @shom @pluvialgeist they were already implemented, only hidden by the webif (as for many other features)

I guess I'm not the only one, who waits excitedly about what else is already implemented and will get activated durin/ the coming days and weeks, or is still on the roadmap!
@fasnix @shom @pluvialgeist some of the things will be enabled as soon as enough bugs have been ironed out from the currently deployed code. Others are half implemented. The good news is that they’re already there so they’re being tested even if not exposed.
