๐Ÿฆฟ Lucian Marin I want to introduce a chat feed on Subreply, maybe call it Live or simply Chat. Would you used it when events happen and you don't want to start a thread? I can support only mentions on that feed, no replies.
๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป William Young Ooh, the trending tab disappeared?
๐Ÿฆฟ Lucian Marin Trending was showing the latest threads sorted by number of replies. Threads is doing the same thing, but you can see all of them in chronological order.

๐ŸšŒ Carl My account's still here, the grass is green, Elon bought twitter. Now I don't know what to feel about the last one but I just wish everything's for the better there. He should've realized that troll farms can easily purchase his new $8 Twitter Blue idea to make their replies more impactful lol
๐Ÿฆฟ Lucian Marin Elon will lose all his wealth on Twitter. He is playing angry birds with his users.
โ™Ÿ๏ธ Inverse Replica I don't have much of an opinion on the whole Twitter issue as I personally only use it as some kind of elaborate news feed and the bubble I ended up in is very niche and not really political.

๐Ÿ˜€ Tom It seems like many people are having the same issues that I have with Subreply about flow/organization of threads: news.ycombinator.c...
๐Ÿ‘Œ Thomas Yeah, the repetition of the same message and replies in discover starts to become annying after a while, I'd love to see something as simple as being able to click to filter only that thread.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Subreply That's a pretty useless thing to do. Someone active can claim your username.
Colindean Strangely, I think i just received a few days ago a notification that I had replies.

๐Ÿ˜ Alex Holst When I look at my feed, some of the posts are white text and others are in gray text. I haven't been able to figure out what each of those mean.
๐Ÿฆฟ Lucian Marin It was a single stream of both threads and replies. Now Feed is for ๐Ÿงต and Replying is for ๐Ÿ’ฌ from people you follow.

๐Ÿ˜€ Tom One issue I do have with that site, well maybe two, is that it's very cluttered and I don't like the design. Fixing the design and making it cleaner could fix the clutter. The one issue I have with Subreply that hey.cafe does better with, is the continuity of the replies. I don't like how on Subreply they are all broken up, and you can't read all the text of what's being replied to. I guess another thing I'm not sure about the other site, is having different cafes for things. I guess I'm more interested in personal conversations than a mini-reddit.
๐Ÿฆฟ Lucian Marin I think read.cv is a worthy competitor on both design and functionality. I have an idea about a social space with private messages, channels with inline replies and mentions, a resume builder and jobs in supported cities... or build everything into Subreply. I find full threads to be hard to read after a few levels of indentation, so I want to get the most out of threads without displaying them in full.

๐Ÿฆฟ Lucian Marin Reminds me of the mistake I made when I renamed Sublevel to Sub.Cafe. Paying for a premium domain isn't ideal. Also, scaling is an issue for media rich sites.

๐Ÿฆฟ Lucian Marin I introduced a profile ratio between replies sent and replies received. I hope it will balance out the network in 2022. I know some of you asked me for numbers on profiles, but a ratio is better than karma or popularity counts.

โ˜• David Antoine Would you bring back the threads and replies counters in the profile section? Always nice to keep track of those... The character counter when typing was nice too, but no more there... Bug or intentional?
๐Ÿฆฟ Lucian Marin Last time I simplified profiles so they can be shared on other sites. I'm trying to share mine everywhere I can. Character counter causes me anxiety, I can't focus. There's an idea to turn textarea red if you type over the limit.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Subreply Autumn has come with its goodies. Reply bangs lets you refer a reply and author gets the mention. Bang replies by using ! in front of base-36 identifier. Spotify and YouTube social links were added. Unique name handles across the network allows you to set new emoji status every time you feel like it. Top left logo is your emoji status.

๐Ÿฆฟ Lucian Marin I'm happy if you are happy with it... ๐Ÿคก but I think we need email notifications as noticed.
โ˜• David Antoine It's good as it is. Notifications would be nice to follow replies of others on a thread you interacted... And as I mentioned some time ago, I'd like to have the character limit go back to 640. So to not have older posts truncated. I found myself reading my 4 years old posts... Don't know why. ๐Ÿ˜

๐Ÿฆฟ Lucian Marin In other news, tookapic.com is shutting down. It launched in 2014, same as Sub. Their comments section was an inspiration for how replies look here. I will never shut down Sub now that is has this nice .com domain. I optimized the backend performance for the cost of a Netflix/Spotify subscription.

๐Ÿง Nrmn I really enjoy the "what are you doing this week(-end)" posts on for example lobste.rs. How about we're doing the same?
๐Ÿฆฟ Lucian Marin Let's do it. This weekend I will try to merge threads and replies in a single feed and do the same for profiles. Discover is the most visited page.

Rsm I should probably close my account here. So why don't I?
๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป Matthieu V. I'll say, no matter what I asked here I always found some replies that led to interesting discussions, as opposed to my Twitter account where I have ~400 followers and have barely no engagement on my tweets
