What settings or plugins could enable something like the Latest view except where the widget showed the actual post instead of just the topic headline – kind of like a Facebook feed? Users would scroll down to see latest posts (albeit without context) and clicking would open up the entire Topic in …

As maintainer of TLP this has nagged me too. I trust you saw we support excerpts and thumbnail previews? The one major feature that is missing is presenting the post feed immediately below the topic preview without having to change route, “in context” as you say. I’ve not experimented with that …

I’ve noticed that people at discourse seem to take almost a moral stance against social network-like features, and I’ve been reading and researching to try to understand this better. What’s wrong with just sharing something that you want others to celebrate and react to? Why would discourse not con…

I’m really glad this topic was bumped. For a while now, I’ve wanted to create a social media platform built upon Discourse with a couple of other folks (if possible). There simply isn’t a software platform out there as powerful and efficient as Discourse is. For example, each and every Mastadon ins…

Have you tried Topic List Previews (TLP) ? [תמונה] James_Cribbs: The endless scroll activity feed is what leads to so much success with Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc. It not only provides a more immediate, image-lead topic list layout with excerpts (which is responsive so can be limited …

@Decorbuz and @merefield thanks for extra input. It reminds me again why I chose Discourse in the first place - the flexibility, power, great UX out of the box, and open source. This gives me some great next steps to get my community where I want it to be, especially given that location is so impor…

I recently spent a couple of days digging into the currently available alternative/self-host social media platforms, Mastodon (too much like Twitter IMO), Diaspora, Friendica, and a few others. Mastodon was the most mature, but again too Twitter-like. There is nothing that is as polished and functio…

I definitely respect a healthy level if disagreement & discussion here, but I’m not sure you are being very fair in your assessment of Discourse’s take on integrating elements of social media into the platform. [תמונה] Oshyan Greene: There are also wonderful things that happen in social media, …

[תמונה] Oshyan Greene: I think it’s a mistake to simply write-off an entirely, extremely popular method of interaction just because it tends to have some downsides. There is no “simple write-off” here… it is more like a bunch of complex tradeoffs that make this something I am not too keen to …

[תמונה] Jordan Vidrine: I don’t think any of us doubt wonderful things can happen in social media, but I think this conversation would benefit from specific examples of awesome things not happening on discourse because of a design hinderance on our part. Sure, that’s fair. So a big one for me…

[תמונה] Oshyan Greene: The more I think about this, the more it sounds like this could just be another type of “View”, like New, Unread, Top, etc. The distinction is, “this time, it’s personal”. This to me is not “facebook type” feed, as described in the OP. For those using sidebar we have t…
