Not sure where to put these, so experimentally placing them at the top for now, reusing the styles from trending news in Trending page. It's based on the post's `card` so some links are actually "quote posts" 😬

@cheeaun oh looking forward to trying this. I'm one of those people who really tries to read every post of the people I follow. In the morning I would love to read it forward from where I left off yesterday, in forward time order. Not sure exactly which grouping I'd pick but looking forward to trying.

Phanpy's grouping of boosts is a genius feature. I turn off retweets / boosts in every social media system because they are too noisy but with Phanpy I like them!

🀫 Quietly dropped on dev site #PhanpySocialDev . Feedback/bug reports welcomed πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ

Cool to see @laurenshof the first one to post about it indieweb.social/@laurenshof/11

@cheeaun

some early feedback after playing around for a bit with it:

- its really good
- popular posts that are boosted a lot by multiple of the people you follow get duplicated when you sort by boosted
- when people post a thread, the 2nd+ comment shows as a comment, not as a reply. i get the intent and think its better this way, but it did confuse me for a second the first time i saw it happen

@cheeaun id also be very curious what it looks like if the catchup feeds shows post slightly more expanded so its closer to the regular feed. it does feel a little bit cramped right now

@laurenshof yeah currently the "smart" grouping from Phanpy doesn't apply in this Catch-up timeline. Will need to think more about it.

As for the feed post view, it's more similar to email now. I initially started with one-liners (looks even more like email) but ended up with this max-3-line "preview". The cramped-ness really depend on the posts, some look very empty with a lot of white-space, while some are just too much. Will need to experiment more πŸ˜„

@cheeaun @laurenshof yeah I like the idea that it's a bit more like a normal feed so you can set your filters or click on an author and just scroll around as normal. Otherwise I'm having to specifically click through on every post that might be interesting.

@cheeaun It’s great. Couple of things I noticed: 1. no way to get back to the control bar except scroll manually to the top again? (iOS 17.3.1). I think I’m going to want to change the filtering as I’m reading. 2. I enjoy the styling of individual posts on the standard home view better.

Really useful! Thanks.

@cheeaun curious, is this more, less, or doesn't a make difference to resource usage on an instance? I guess highly dependent on someone's mastodon usage? Also, have you played around with different types of 'popularity' metrics? e.g. very rough one off of the top of my head, a post's likes / their follower count, as a way to not have things skewed to just large accounts.

@cheeaun This is an excellent "morning catch up" tool!

More load time, I know, but it would be nice to have a filter for mutuals or for accounts you have interacted with the most over the past X days.

Separately, if you could apply this to lists - some lists filter out accounts on the main timeline, so they aren't being included here I assume.
