In-reply-to » One of the problems I have with changing the way the "Discover" view works whilst at the same time keeping it "clean" (depending on who you talk to) is the behaviour between "Timeline" (what you follow explicitly) and "Discover" (a view into the pod's cache). See attached, where I by default prefer a "collapsed" view (hiding replies). The default behaviour for Discover (no controls) is "everything".

One thing to be clear about here is that it was never my intention for a pod’s “front page” (Discover view when not logged in) to be any kind of “listing” or “advertising” or such. That was completely unintentional. If this is expected somehow, we should probably discuss that too more seriously and discuss its merits, and if it can be support, should be supported, or if there’s a different solution entirely? For example. there is the search engine which could show a global feed/timeline view, albeit the domain could be something different.
