@freemo Would you prefer using that one instead? It's early in the game and we could switch.

I though the two word (separated by underline) might be more readable, perhaps?

@design_RG Its up to, this is your baby. I do think more people will use it without the underscore just based on normal hashtag usage which tends to be camel case

@freemo Fair enough, havign the most people using is really important., so we can switch to it.

There's only one post in the other tag (mine above), so not late to switch.

** I can delete/Redraft it even, although our whole sequence here would be orphaned, but I think it's worth changing.

Was worried about Readability, but it shows nicely on your post above. Screencap:

@freemo Done the edit, Delete Redraft to the rescue. 😃

Thank you for the suggestion!

So I'm playing with some new features in the QOTO codebase. I think they are ready to use almost but I wanted a chance for people to comment.. here are some features that I got working locally on my test instance:

* Bookmarking toots and retrieving.

* Quoting toots

* Domain subscription (this one is my favorite) where you can follow a specific instance (not a user) and basically create a local timeline at QOTO reflecting the remote instances timeline.

* Account subscription. This is a bit like a follow but not a follow. It is where you follow a persons public toots only but dont actually follow them. This is handy if a user posts some public toots but also has their followers locked for approval. You can still follow them without their approval or them even knowing you follow.

* a more prominent link to our QOTO announcements and the / hashtags.

* Several additional theme alternatives to try

Also a few smaller features not worth mentioning.

@design_RG

@freemo Wow, that is a big list of new features! Amazing, thank you.

some of them I have seen mentioned as features in GlitchSoc (bookmarks) but most are new as far as I know. 😄

Thank you for taking the time to push the envelope!!

@freemo
Nice, I've been missing something like domain subscription, thank you
@design_RG

@design_RG Ok everyone, I got the features pretty stable I think. I am going to be updating the server again soon and we can see how this goes. This is the most major change I've made on qoto so there may be some hiccups, but all our data is backed up just in case.

@freemo @design_RG I love these! Esp. instance subs and quoting toots.

I do think some might not like account subs (I do tho) but if most people in like it, that shouldn't be a problem.

@realcaseyrollins

We can always tweak these features if people don't like it. Its all very experimental but I think there is some cool stuff in here.

@design_RG

@freemo What is the main reasoning behind the account subscription feature?

@MOTT So you can stay up to date about a persons posts who you may not want to follow.
