Allowing unicode characters in user names would be good. A lot of people speak English as a second language and it's unfair to prevent them from using their real names if their native languahe alphabet does not conform to ASCII. I wouldn't oppose requiring an anglicized version of names as well.

How do I view the global feed? Trying to find ppl to follow but don't want to be siloed into following based on "trending"... Would love a view that I know is unfiltered...
đī¸ Autumn
Hitting the search button will show the whole chronological timeline.
đ¤ David
Visit subreply.com/search for the truly "global" pipe of new posts. So far everything here is very minimal. If community interest persists then it might be fun to make a few community sites as trackers and aggregators of particular threads. Notably, it would be easy to distribute since all replies are ASCII and take up little space to store.
đ§ Justin
Doesn't that sort of sequestration lead to echo chambers?
đ¤ David
I'm not sure. I'm thinking of methods to organize and distribute interesting and old content if that's something of interest to others as well.
đī¸ Mbladra
Better searching, especially by hashtag topics
đļ Freeman
Unique replies. Without a like button, people would resort to +1 comments, which drowns out real comments
đļ Freeman
+1 :D Maybe likes would take the form of a chain of (+1)s!
đ LÊo
I was imagining something like github's reaction buttons, but in the form of comments. The platform could allow you to start a comment with an emoji, and that would be your reaction. You could also type more text after that if desired. Comments containing just the reaction emoji would be automatically collapsed and there could be a tally of reactions next to the reply button.
đ Yt L.
Collapsing threads, or toggling a "collapse by default" behavior. It would make scrolling the trending page easier.
đ Matt Harwood
Definitely +1
đ¤Ŧ Foobar
Access to the API
đ Matt Harwood
+1. This place is screaming for a client ecosystem.
đļ Freeman
Implementing this as a TUI would be fun
đ LÊo
I've been thinking about that since I saw the ASCII limitation thing because "it works everywhere"
đŠ Niklas
I second this!
đī¸ Mbladra
Yupp that would be awesome

@autumn It's my personal belief that the creation of filter bubbles may be one of the worst side effects of moving from anonymous BBS systems over to boards featuring persistent identity. Via an older style BBS system it was difficult to isolate yourself into a corner of overall thought via filtering of users and posts, rather discussions were simply grouped by topic/thread. At least in my view this is preferable to columns of siloed opinions or points of view.
đ Andromeda Pie
I'm curious. Are you out as a racist to your family and friends, or is it just when you're hiding behind anonymity online?
đ Nlggers
I think they're aware of my views, although I'm not sure I'd say I'm particularly inclined to feelings of superiority if that's what you mean.
đ Andromeda Pie
And you see no problem in being racist?
đī¸ Autumn
Option to block on a per-user basis.
đ Tom
self-replies, also think that the circle containing the first 3 letters of your username should change to your emoji if set
đļ Pipas_
if it's getting rid of the notion of Avatars having this clear 3 letter avatar does seem pointless
Chase May
For me, I'd like a read / unread filter. Maybe that's fairly different than what you're imagining.
đ¯ Gallium Oxide
Hyperlinkable replies (like Twitter) and use of the browser notification API
đģ Trinity
I don't believe they'll add this feature, because the idea is to make a less-addicting social media app versus something like Twitter.
đ LÊo
What is a hypelinkable reply? I apologize, I don't use twitter. If you're talking about something like a "permalink" than this platform already kind of has that. All you have to do is copy the URL in the "reply" button.
đ¯ Gallium Oxide
Yeah, permalinks are exactly it. I didn't realize it's already there. Thanks!
đ¤ David
FYI, all comments and posts can be reached via the final path of each URL (e.g. I'm replying to comment 'g3r') when prefixed with ANY username. E.g. subreply.com/minma... swapped with /dvaun/g3r would point to the same comment
Chase May
It looks like the time-since label on posts is a direct link to the content, as well. This is perhaps more "semantic" than copying the link from the reply button.

Idk what notifications do now but would be great to be notified when someone replies to you
đ Alana
like a push notification?
đĨ¨ Shruthi
There's a little bell on the sidebar but I'm not what it does, mine just shows an empty page
đļ Freeman
I like the lack of push notification and badge counters. Those provoke some sort of innate gratification in me which other social media has been preying on.
đ Oscar
There's a small counter and a red indicator in the sidebar whenever there's been an action (follow, reply, mention).
