Activity Feeds

@Tina I love the new features added recently. Nice job.

What I'm curious about, is having personalized activity feeds. That way you can know what people are doing no matter what it is as it happens, as well as check or not check what is being viewed, what can be viewed, who can see it, and who can block it.

Blocking is an important aspect to any social communication, because it mutes the other person from being able to see what you are doing. However if you wish for the opposite, it should also be possible to do that through member settings and via the help of allowed or disallowed actions through an admin interface.

Things members should be able to do with the activity feed includes but isn't limited to. Being notified If a new member signs up. Having an overview glance regarding what people say on profiles. Being able to post directly to profiles and follow a persons particular profile, area of posting like a module or its designated category by person as well as by module, or customize the way in which updates are displayed as such. Understand how interactions are made from one person to another as in follows, friendships, comments on things people post, new items people create. Subscribe to notifications where people can be notified by email or through on site notifications if someone they wish to follow or something they are following such as a persons profile, post, comment, group, event or website notifications like if someone new joins the website happens.

This ought to keep engagement flowing freely and help more people, especially if an invite button is present to share a particular page with website friends or other contacts. Growing the website helps keep the monthly cost worth paying. Here is one way to be able to foster engagement to drive the idea forwards and onwards, not backwards from the point of initial contact.

@ElsharaSilverheart⁠ technically you have the follow button under every comment now on every module or app, you click it and it states get notified of every topic, get notified if mentioned, or muted, don't notify me at all.

Of course its not attached to the newsfeed, Idt right off the top of my head.

I also would like to mute/ignore or block someone better. I've asked for this.

I also would like a better comment box on profiles, but as this is a microblog and not so much a cms/styled platform, the reply to comments in news stream is similar to twitter, and also facebook/sharetronix. I did not get that at first.

I would like the option to send a scheduled welcome greeting to a new member, from the time they are approved, showing them how to get along on the network, some guidelines, anything special I'd like from them, advertising info or come by and say hello in the welcome group, etc.

I would also like it if members could email in a post, or share photos or uploaded videos like they do to facebook and tumblr by tablet or phone, etc. This would help mobile engagements.

I also would like to request an email subscription option for groups like say you have a cooking group at your site like mysite.com/groups/cooking101 you could have an email to the group like [email protected] <-- to allow for members to mail things directly to its newsfeed, like videos, pictures and status updates they see when mobile or out and about town.
