Interested in piloting this federated journal platform? We're looking for organisations to co-design and test these features and build others for their custom needs. DM us or email team@bonfire.cafe to learn more about joining the Mosaic program.

Finally, dedicated topics views. Topics enable you to categorise content, manage authors, and control visibility and interaction—all crucial for maintaining a structured, magazine-style experience. With boundaries applied to each topic, you can easily manage different levels of access for your content.

Next, our streamlined post creation interface will put everything writers and editors need at their fingertips. Easily set boundaries, select topics, write summaries, and schedule posts. You can also include images and other media, apply content warnings, and specify the language, just as you would with standard fediverse posts, ensuring that your content federates as expected.

First up: a robust dashboard with detailed metrics. This will give editors and moderators deep insights into their community's engagement, and the ability to define what metrics matter the most for their federated publications like journals or magazines
What indicators would be most useful?
How should engagement be measured in a federated environment?
What data would help understand a message's impact across instances?

Building on our earlier thread about Mosaic's federated publication theme, we're excited to dive deeper into some of the key features.
Our goal is to co-design the theme with pilot projects, to make this platform ideal for knowledge dissemination on the Fediverse. #Mosaic

We are seeking pilot communities interested in co-designing this theme with us and supporting its development by joining the Mosaic program.
Full details will be available in September, but if this sounds like something you've been waiting for, feel free to DM us or email team@bonfire.cafe to learn more.

Powered by Bonfire's topics extension, communities can organize their digital content into magazine-style layouts, showcasing discussions and articles prominently. This ensures that valuable knowledge isn't lost in timelines but is easily accessible on the homepage. Our flexible role system allows communities to establish editorial teams, sharing responsibilities and moderation duties. Taxonomies enable users to create multiple sections, providing a structured magazine experience.

@d1re_w0lf yes, we call them topics in bonfire https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire_ui_topics - they will unlikely be part of the first release though
Ps happy to jump over a 30min call if you want to share more about #mosaic and get some feedback from you

@d1re_w0lf sure thing! All the extensions and code are released open source anyway… We will offer both a premium coop hosting service and the possibility to self-host it :)

@d1re_w0lf planned but need to be funded - hopefully also thanks to orgs subscribing to #mosaic 🔥

@edumerco happy to jump over a call and share more with you (and get some feedback too) ❤️

@stefan@gardenstate.social @tom @stefan@stefanbohacek.online definitively! bonfire is an open source framework for building federated digital spaces. Almost all the features are developed in their own extensions (plugins) that admins can enable from a dashboard. Most of the features are even split between UI and backend, to ease UX experimentations without having to maintain forks.
The framework is written in #elixir

🔥 📣 We're gearing up to launch Bonfire Mosaic, a revolutionary service unifying your digital presences, coming this September! 🌐 If you're interested in a cutting-edge, custom all-in-one solution that integrates your website, social networking, and coordination tools, DM us or email team@bonfire.cafe to learn more. Stay tuned! #mosaic

@ssp@chat.srkn.org @SSP@bonfire.srkn.org yeah custom boundaries are still complex and not really usable, looking forward to more feedbacks to properly improve the UX

@Darundir@pol.social @admin not at all, we are trying to optimise the loading time of feeds, but if it’s not an issue for you I can send you an invitation link

@hello @diego perfect name and avatar 🔥 😂
congrats!!

@JACoates happy to schedule a call and chat further 😊 @admin

@Mehrad Most code is now in extensions which each have a separate repo, see this issue for details and a link to the archived commits: https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/467
