@TheFuzzStone I just pressed the 👍 thingy. Is that okay?

@wizzwizz4, I don't know is it ok or not... 😅

If you like the idea, and you support it, then I think it's okay.

If there's anything you want to say or add to what I said, feel free to do it. I'm really wondering how many people need this feature besides me.

@TheFuzzStone @wizzwizz4 gave the thumbs up as well. Been using this feature from a phone app several times already.

imo the whole instance based account management needs some enhancements. E.g. I have accounts on two themed instances because I don't feel like half my content would be suitable for the other account's instance topic. But there should really be some more options to subscribe to certain topics from an account instead of the whole account. Feeds are crowded enough already.

@Halbeard @TheFuzzStone But we don't have a way to sort our stuff into topics. Would adding another button to the existing 4 be worth it?

@wizzwizz4 @TheFuzzStone went off on a tanget there of only one aspect of multiple account/instance management. But actually it could already be implemented by allowing subscriptions to hashtags + a user specific filter like it already exists on a web view of a profile. A next step would be to let a user conciously manage what kind of content a subscriber could expect.

Maybe I should open a related github issue myself.

@TheFuzzStone @wizzwizz4 I'd like to have that.

@TheFuzzStone @fosstodon @mike @kev @ashfurrow @omnipotens @jonah yes! This is the one feature Mastodon is missing for me. I know you can sort of do it with fedilab, but it should be a part of the masto web client as well

@cavaliertusky, you don't have to ping everyone in your reply 😅...

Anyway... boost is appreciated.

@TheFuzzStone @fosstodon @mike @kev @ashfurrow @omnipotens @jonah Probably worth mentioning Qoto has it but it's not worth going there for it because they associate with Gab, and thus it seems fair to add it to mainline Mastodon

@TheFuzzStone @fosstodon @mike @kev @ashfurrow @omnipotens @jonah That is to say, if shady modified instances are already using it, meaning that the feature is already available to bad actors who would use it, it makes sense to canonise it to mainstream Mastodon so it can be regulated and accounted for and opted out of.

@TheFuzzStone @fosstodon @mike @kev @ashfurrow @omnipotens @jonah So like, if an instance representing a marginalised or oft-harrassed community wants to protect themself from remote local timeline reading, there should be a standard implementaiton to protect from.

Failing that, we need local only posts, the remote-timeline-viewing cat is out of the metaphorical bag and people need the tools to protect from it if necessary.

@orangelamp @TheFuzzStone @fosstodon @mike @kev @ashfurrow @jonah

What am I missing? I am completely lost in this conversation?

@omnipotens, hi, thanks for the reply.

Basically, all info in this toot (boost is appreciated):
