Feature Requests and Bugs

even without a account ppl can still view public communities

Private DMs so users can communicate one-on-one. Group chats to allow circles or connections to communicate within the platform.

A really, really nice feature would be able to set the time of the site. In other words, if I wanted to go back five days and cruise around. That would make a lot more of the posts accessible.

Just a thought about helping people expand their use of communities. Can a community automatically expire posts after a given time? Is that an awkward thing to implement? Perhaps having a 1 day expiry for a given community would prompt people to use other communities having longer expiry periods.

A feature for users to be able to give feedback to the community's administrators/mods is useful. Whether this should be implemented as some voting system where other users can vote feedback is up to you, but that might get complicated. If some communities don't want it, then it can be disabled I guess. But this feature will mainly be so that community feeds don't get filled up with community management feedback.

You would probably want a lot of controls and misuse could be, well, I would just expel them but that's just me.

Currently, communities in the various categories on the c/ page seem randomly ordered, perhaps by when joined. They display in each category, in no particular order, limited to four visible on the web and five in the app. It would be great if users could drag them into whatever order they prefer, like apps on a home screen, so those they use most often are visible first on the c/ page.

Low priority - The documentation on https://docs.openspace.social/ isn't clear yet on the Explore- and Public feed options, and maybe on other points like the latest features. In this docs and other places, it's mentioned that "on OS, you control the algorithm". And in other places, that there is no algorithm at all. I think the latter is correct?

Not sure if this is an issue, or just a need for clarification. When I was creating a video tutotial about longform posts, I started the post at the generic post creation button that show up in the Home feed. Things went strange when I tried to share it with the toolbox community. The community shows up in the list of places to share to, but did not accept the request to publish. So I cancelled that post and went into the community to create a new post, which was successfully posted. So, what might be the issue with that dropdown list of destinations? Does the list of shareable communities reflect whether a post can actually go to that community? I'm posting this as a bug because it seems like that's one possible explanation.

We need a thing for spoilers (where it blocks out the text until you click on it). It should be able to cover multiple paragraphs.
