Loforo Suggestions

@blog @loforo

I had some ideas for features that might be considered for implementation on Loforo

1. Some posts can be very long and it can be a chore to scroll past them when on the main page. I dont think it's a problem now (I've only seen a few so far) but perhaps it's worth looking into. Some websites hide the rest of the post after a fixed height and to see the rest you need to click some 'see more' banner at the bottom of the post. Something to think about. 

2. Blocking currently works so that only direct posts are hidden. I think it makes sense to also hide any repost that was originally posted by the blocked user. Otherwise the hiding posts part of the blocking system is negated if the user is popular enough (gets reposted a lot) Read More »

Exploring Loforo... I like it.

Exploring Loforo... I like it.
I like it for it's simple, more genuine and less contaminated than other social networking services and weblogging platforms.
Also, people seem to be friendlier and less interested in growing a following and in "selling".

Loforo must be like the first weblogs ever that I studied about these days, where people shared their interests and thoughts and, through these, got to know and comment each others.
Maybe, it's so because it's still young: I read Loforo's weblog, and I deduce (from the "A Year of Loforo" post) that it's been on-line since 10.09.2021!

Unluckily, I do not have so much free time: I have to work, take care of the weblog I write for, study and... live. Read More »
