@bender GoToSocial is _actually_ great ๐ I've run it while testing/devel;ing my first activity pub integration for yarnd I would run it myself permanently, except that I honestly prefer Twtxt and want to keep Yarn.social alive and moving forward (even if slowly).

@bender I guess if you're going to support the choice of Bulma (_and the reason for this Yarn in the first place is I'm pretty rubbish when it comes to UI/UX, so I need all the help I can get! ๐คฃ_) -- You need to help me understand; Is Bulma a better choice because you see "components" it has that _may_ be useful in a new (say) Yarn 2.0? Or is Picnic CSS enough? ๐ค_

I'm not sure what the plans are anymore ๐ข I still love the simplicity of Twtxt too and I've always seen this project as more of an "ecosystem".
Appreciate the positive kind words, but you're right, "momentum" has died a lot and I don't have as much spare time or energy as I used to.

That only works if you're a user of said pod right? ๐ค Is this going to be the majority of cases or do we have to also worry about anonymous users (and crawlers/bots) where the "Discover" view is essentially the pods front page?

Maybe some kind of option that when enabled will collapse multiple posts from the same feed and only show the top most recent one, with some kind of UI/UX that indicate "N more today..."?

Another feature as mentioned in #iq4rusa is using filters on the Timeline and/or Discover views. One of the most common "workflows" I use is to go to "Discover" and use the "Without replies" and "Hide my posts" filters to see if there's anything new and interesting in my pod's cache I haven't seen before or maybe could reply to (or not).
Of course as I've locked down registrations on my pod anyway (have kept it locked down now for months) due to SPAM accounts and bots just creating rubbish accounts/feeds, this workflow may no longer be all that useful? hmmm ๐ง

Hah ๐คฃ @dfaria Your @dfaria.eu feed really does consume about >50% of a "Discover" search with filters "Without replies" and "Hide my posts". ๐คฃ 
36/2 = 18 at 25 Twts per page, that's about ~72% of the search/view real estate you're taking up! wow ๐คฉ -- I'd be very interested to hear what ideas you have to improve this? Those search filters were created so you could sift through either your own Timeline or the Discover view easily.~

One thing to be clear about here is that it was never my intention for a pod's "front page" (Discover view when not logged in) to be any kind of "listing" or "advertising" or such. That was completely unintentional. If this is expected somehow, we should probably discuss that too more seriously and discuss its merits, and if it can be support, should be supported, or if there's a different solution entirely? For example. there is the search engine which _could_ show a global feed/timeline view, albeit the domain could be something different.

I'd like to hear some ideas that fix or improve the signal / noise ratio for all users and even benefits non-users (anonymous users just hitting a pod's index page, which is the discover view)

There's also a pod-level setting (admins) that control what the "Discover" (or front page if you're not logged in) display:
This is either:
- Local posts only (local to the pod)
- All posts in the pod's cache

One of the problems I have with changing the way the "Discover" view works whilst at the same time keeping it "clean" (_depending on who you talk to_) is the behaviour between "Timeline" (what you follow explicitly) and "Discover" (a view into the pod's cache). See attached, where I by default prefer a "collapsed" view (_hiding replies_). The default behaviour for Discover (no controls) is "everything".
The reason I bring this up is that part of my "workflow" has become to occasionally use the "Discover" view to see if I've missed any "in-between" replies that often happen, find new interesting folks to follow and/or interact with, etc.
Changing this to anything but the current behaviour would break this flow for me ๐ข
