Features and Fixes

These features and fixes have been developed independently of the main line of Diaspora development.

In Progress

Planned

  • Interpod chat

Released

  • Various adjustments to text which improve the user experience, especially for inexperienced users
  • Post preview
  • A link (in edit profile) to view your own profile as it appears to others
  • Get a hint of a post by hovering over its link in the Notification list.
  • The reshare link is always "reshare" or "reshare original"; it doesn't change to "n reshares". The number of reshares is shown elsewhere on the post
  • URLs of third-party URL shorteners are automatically expanded by the server, protecting users from click tracking. Hover to see the destination URL.
  • Plain URLs are visually shortened to just the domain. Hover to see full URL.
  • Some changes for pod neutrality (removal of some joindiaspora-specific things).
  • Comments of ignored users are also hidden.
  • Reshares of ignored users' posts are also hidden.
  • No notifications about ignored users.
  • Federation destination lists: Micropods can designate other pods as destinations for their own local public posts to get federated, thereby increasing reach and engagement.
  • Tag filtering. Filter out posts containing specific hashtags.
  • Soundcloud embedding fixed. (issue 2488)
