Great news! We've just updated our playground instance at https://playground.bonfire.cafe 💥
New release comes with a nice amount of bugs fixed and UX improvements based on community feedbacks (thanks 😘) .

We've also introduced our flexible boundary system...

"How will our online experiences be different once we take back control over exactly who should see, interact with, and even collaborate on our content and activities at the most granular level?"

@tfardet @baslow indeed :)

@etam it is similar in so far as you can create lists to classify your contacts, but instead of being used just to define who can see your posts, they can be used to define who can see/read/reply/tag/edit/delete/etc/etc your post/user/group/instance/etc.

Along with that will come customisable roles for instance administration and moderation (to go beyond just having "admins"), and so we're thinking about what's needed for that, feedback and suggestions are welcome 😃, see details at https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/406

👋 As part of upcoming milestones, we're implementing a way for users to create circles (like in the old G+), but going beyond using it to define audiences (i.e. visibility of content), with very granular ways to define permissions on what you post (i.e. so you can give one of your circles permission to edit your post, or use it simply to lock-down who can reply, etc): https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/223

@Relected@shitposter.club bonfire tends to be an extensible and highly configurable platform (aka framework) to develop any kind of federated apps, that goes beyond microblogging (think at federated calendar / tasks coordinations / governance / and so on)

@BollerwagenPicard@mastodontech.de awesome thanks 😊 hope you're feeling better btw

@sparkit speriamo bene ;)

Today, the Bonfire team is excited to announce our beta release 🔥🎉

We’re aware that Bonfire still needs a lot of work - like ensuring it federates as expected and improving configurability, accessibility and user experience - but that’s the point: we decided to launch at this stage with the intention of building the 1.0 release as a community.

@BollerwagenPicard@mastodontech.de thank you 💓

@BollerwagenPicard@mastodontech.de you should be good to go when you're ready, but health comes first!

@BollerwagenPicard@mastodontech.de Transifex (the web app we use for translation) unfortunately doesn't have a mobile app and doesn't adapt well to a small screen

@BollerwagenPicard@mastodontech.de oh that would be great! Just ping us when you feel like then ☺️

New blog post on the upcoming #bonfire beta release: https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/beta_what_to_expect/

"In a few days' time we'd like to invite you to experiment with a 'playground' instance of Bonfire, the federated social networking toolkit for communities. Lots of what you'll see in the Bonfire beta will be recognisable from other social and/or federated apps. There is some functionality that may be a little different with Bonfire as well."

Check out our new blogpost
and stay tuned for more updates 😃

"We're now days away from the beta release of Bonfire, a federated app toolkit. When beta users get their hands on it, however, they might be confused: wait, this looks like just another microblogging app! haven't we already got enough of those?"
