Posts, a community app by Read.cv

posts.cv

Few feedbacks: - It would be nice to have the chance to see who you are following and followers - the profile timeline is a bit messy if you don't differenciate posts and replies, all together is messy - I miss the chance to create a thread - Is there a mobile app already?

Noooo! I think the *best* thing about Posts is that follower count is not visible thus unimportant.. I just find people through seeing conversations and that’s good enough for me. (+1 on the differentiation of replies vs. posts, though)

Ah no. I don’t want the counter. I don’t mind about that. Just want to know who you are following and followed by. Always been a good thing for me to find interesting people

+1 - I've been using that as my primary way of finding people on other places like Mastodon.

I’d be okay with threads if you could only make one every 2nd week, and after thread post no. 5, character count in next thread post was reduced by x%, stacking

Or some other complicated rule set, just get weird with it is what I’m saying

Haha I love this idea because it’s so absolutely random 😅 that’s a good prerequisite for making Posts feel like no other social network 😉

Lots of talk in UX about gamification, but no one’s making actual mechanics / system rules like this 🥲

I have nothing against the principle of a “thread”, but I dislike clickbait and sales pitch kind of posts in the context of a community. I’ve had enough of clicking around “here’s hows” or “10 reasons why” posts, only to find they’re nothing but engagement traps.

Yeah, it’s like reading overly long texts messages or a one sentence email; technically still it’s medium but out of tune

I don't think about threads in that way. It's just a way to extend a concept when you can't summarize it in a single short post. Sometimes it's needed

Maybe post a link to an article you wrote elsewhere in such cases?
