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".

Another feature as mentioned in #iq4rusa is using filters on the Timeline and/or Discover views. One of the most common “workflows” I use is to go to “Discover” and use the “Without replies” and “Hide my posts” filters to see if there’s anything new and interesting in my pod’s cache I haven’t seen before or maybe could reply to (or not).

Of course as I’ve locked down registrations on my pod anyway (have kept it locked down now for months) due to SPAM accounts and bots just creating rubbish accounts/feeds, this workflow may no longer be all that useful? hmmm 🧐
