/kbin RTR#19 Summary of current work and plans for the near and somewhat distant future

Today, I am addressing several ongoing issues that prove troublesome in the daily use of the instance. In the coming days, I will be working on several things slated for the next instance update:

  • Implementation of a "Support Us" page, listing individuals supporting the project.
  • Fix photo management during post/thread editing.
  • Improved handling of +18 content, ensuring proper image concealment.
  • Exclusion of blocked people and magazines from the sidebar's related/latest posts/entries.
  • Implementation of a spoiler system compatible with Lemmy.
  • Resolution of several bugs causing the failure to display certain content (error 500).
  • Public release of the API, with everything seemingly operational, remaining tasks involve building assets for documentation, which, with multiple nodes, requires additional configuration. Kudos to @rideranton for a job well done!

In the immediate future, I plan to take a break from coding to focus on global kbin.social moderation and work on the new instance setup from Adam:

Looking further ahead, I intend to refine the /sub feed by segregating it into observed users, magazines, and both simultaneously, as illustrated here:

Additionally, I aim to enhance the tag page with additional filtering options:

The first release is anticipated in ? days.

  • @ernest Will the spoiler system also be compatible with Mastodon? This would be very good to have.

    (or, alternatively, can we get a FEP for a proper spoiler system other than using the summary field?)

    • Definitely, I plan to integrate spoilers with ActivityPub. For now, it's just a Markdown change compatible with Lemmy - there were many requests for it, and it was quite cumbersome. I will start working on federation after finish the refactoring. I want to do this on the new codebase - I'm getting closer, but initially, I'm fully focused on instance moderation, which will enable the operation of a global moderation team. Later, things with lower priority will be gradually implemented.
