@lebout2canap Something like this?

@lebout2canap good point thanks, I'll try making the icons be state indicators

@lebout2canap No, the 3 icons are 3 seperate menus currently, and the question was whether to only show 1 icon and all the options as sections within 1 menu.

Maybe adding icons makes the options clearer?

@lechindianer thanks!

Yeah linear is a flat view like on Mastodon, and nested in a tree view like on Reddit.

Several new layout and sorting options coming to the discussion page on Bonfire in the next release. Would love some feedback, such as:

- would you prefer them separated in three menus as in the screenshots, or all in one menu?
- any suggestions on clearer wording for some of the options? such as nested vs linear or the different chronological options...

@strypey @evan yeah very interesting report, would be nice to see how it would translate with bonfire UX

@natematias super interesting, we did some work with @dajb last year on tangential topics ( https://bonfirenetworks.org/zappa/ ) which paved the way to our current boundaries implementation ( https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/how_to_boundaries/ )

📣 New Blog post ➡️ Making things intuitive is complex! Or, what we discovered via user testing.

A big Thank you to @dajb who run the User testing sessions and to all the people who registered and participated. The feedback we received was invaluable in highlighting areas for improvement.

@lebout2canap totally doable, using valueflows "intent" https://www.valueflo.ws/concepts/flows/#intent

🎉 We are thrilled by the great response to our user testing sessions. Thank you all for your interest and participation requests. We have successfully reached our target number of users and are now closed for further applications. The first sessions have already begun, and we can't wait to gather and share valuable insights from our amazing participants. Stay tuned for updates

@laurenshof @n8 that's right 😊 more about circles In bonfire here: https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/how_to_boundaries/

@houkime Thanks for letting us know! We're facing some federation-related issues that we need to address head-on :)

@houkime now fixed, thanks for the report!

@decentral1se thanks for the suggestion, we have updated the blog post accordingly :)
Ps. For clarity:
- dynamic Skill ( @dajb) are volunteering their time and skills
- The available funds cover the development of federated groups and custom roles, which (spoiler) are not in the scope of this user research session
- All the rest of Bonfire development, design, research, communication work is currently unpaid (we hope to fix this situation soon :D)
