Definitely a Pic to make me subscribe to this community!

Oh yea! Generally, I'm loving the potential these sort of platforms (lemmy/kbin/link-aggregator) to do multiple things at once on the fediverse. Like, being a picture board or photo feed seems pretty straightforward on here given the way things can be separated out into communities. So while the fediverse has its instagram clone (pixelfed), I can't help but think about how a platform with a decent enough of composable options and structures can kinda get you many things at once.

It'd be cool if some of the front ends had different "modes" for such things ... like a "gallery" mode for focusing on viewing pictures.

If lemmy were to add a feature where we could follow specific users whenever we know we find them especially interesting or resonant with our interests, or each user had our own personal community which works as our sort of personal blog, even more things could be unlocked.

wouldnt kbin be perfect for this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe! Though to my knowledge, kbin doesn't enable you to see a feed of just people's posts as you would on a microblogging platform or an RSS feed. Instead everything kinda gets folded into the magazines, which you can then view in threads or microblog mode. Being able to treat a person's personal community as a separate thing that you can subscribe to just like a community would be more interesting to me ... especially once we get user-defined mutli-communities, which could, I would hope, also include personal "communities" too. That way I could have a custom mutli with an art community and my favourite artists, for example.

What a beautiful image! It reminds me of my childhood, when I used to play outside with my friends until the street lights turned on. We would ride our bikes, play hide and seek, or kick a ball around. Those were the days of innocence and joy.
