[tantek] Lots of interesting things here from a UX perspective, and from a policy perspective: https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/notices-on-twitter

jacky so finally got access to post to cohost
#
jacky and I was reviewing https://cohost.org/rc/content/community-guidelines to see if I could "cross-post" from my site
#
jacky looks like I should be able to
#
jacky this def makes me want to add /audience labels for posts tbh
#
jacky (b/c posting an intro post on my site after having a few thousand already would be a little weird, lol)

#
[aciccarello] How do audience labels work?
#
[aciccarello] That sounds interesting

#
jacky so the way I'd _like_ to show up on my site would be some sort of descriptive text indicating who I intend the post to be read by (as a initial form) then evolve to lean on URLs either on my site or elsewhere that can help resolve who should be reading something (for example, if I was targeting the broader IndieWeb community, I'd probably point to either https://indieweb.org or https://indieweb.org/chat-names,)
#
[aciccarello] Ah, interesting. I lean heavily on tags for that kind of stuff
#
jacky yeah like I think I would too (I kinda passively hint at it via syndication targets - though I need to improve that)
#
jacky but this would be my personal first setup before toying with "group posting" - by having a common audience to post towards, it could replicate a chain of posts

#
[aciccarello] I've thought about ways to display posts other than "everything" and per post-type. For example, I like to post pictures. But I don't want a post showing a picture of something odd I saw to show up in my collection of more artistic photos.

#
[aciccarello] Or with replies, I'd like to not show comments on my main feed but what if I want to comment on a post but also share that comment on my main feed. Would I have to post the reply and then have another share post to push that to the main feed?
#
sknebel I just use categories
#
sknebel been meaning to make it a hidden thing (i.e. right now you can browse the category of "things excluded from main feed", which isnt entirely the point :D), but same principle
#
[aciccarello] Yeah, I've thought about having a "featured" or possibly "gallery" tag for photos. I need to think more about how do add such an option without making it more of a pain to post.

[chrisaldrich] For those interested in the ideas of annotations, inline footnotes, expandable text, additional context, stretch text, hovercards, etc., Nicky Case has recently released a new project called Nutshell https://ncase.me/nutshell/ which has some fun user interface as well as code with which to play.
