@design_RG Could do #QotoJournal or #QOTOJournal too by the way
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 #QotoJournal / #QOTO hashtags.
* Several additional theme alternatives to try
Also a few smaller features not worth mentioning.
@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 #QOTO like it, that shouldn't be a problem.
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.
@freemo @design_RG I think that is a good approach.
@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.
@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!!
