Should community posts show in your feed?

(I think I've understood this note from nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac correctly lol)

Maybe that could be a toggle option?

/ Show posts from communities you are a member of

/ Show posts from communities anyone you follow post to

maybe that is overly complicated?

Could just be a community post feed toggle in eg amethyst?

Communities do sort of have a different vibe and maybe even be a niche type of user of nostr, is nost even active enough to have them not showing? Maybe that says more about who I am following.

And depending on where you post from they show differently (nostrudel has post within a community or post selecting drop down to a community, which affects title option and subsequent display)

I obviously have no technical understanding here lol

I'm going to actually go to bed now before I get told off for not understanding anything on nostr again :)

I like how amethyst handles community notes in the feed since it has the label up in the corner. It provides context & shows me things I may not otherwise know about, since searching out communities is not an easy task atm. I imagine those notes without the community label are probably kind of whack at times, in other clients.

A toggle for whether those are in the feed or not would be handy for people who just aren't into topics. Clever idea

I feel like community notes SHOULDN'T show up in the feed. I agree and like your work around suggestion because I do think having that option should be across the board for every client.

That said, I think it would give ppl more incentive to actually join communities if community posts don't show in the feed.

Because come on, it makes sense to me now why no one participates in the community's bc is it shows up in there feed ANYWAY.

It's doing double work if you think about it to have to stop, then go to a community, and then post.

Humans will take the easiest strategy every time that's normal.

But do you see how this kind of defeats the purpose?

Instead of the note also showing in the feed, visible and everything, there should be some sort of 'post notification'

From the user that shows in the feed noting that the "user just posted to X community, come see what they said!"

This will force the person to have to go to the community to see it.

By a notification showing in the feed instead of the post, the user isn't being censored. Maybe there can be an option to reveal the notes details but in order to respond, they have to go to the community.

Just my thoughts

And I don't know why he's bitching lol lots of shit is with out context in the feed not stuff that's from community's.

I'm starting to notice the difference and what that difference is between traditional Twitter type of users and Reddit users. I would say the difference I'm noticing here is that Twitter type of users don't want to take the time and I'm not saying this in a derogatory way, but they don't want to take the time to find and search for specific community to put a specific thought because that's too much work and effort.

I feel like they much rather just interject into conversations and add whatever their response is. Organized discussions seems like too much work for them and they don't like that. Again I'm not saying that in a derogatory way we're all different and shit but Reddit type of users don't mind doing that because they want the conversation to be specific.

Twitter type of users seem like they don't really want structured conversations just stuff they can slap a response on if that makes any sense. Whereas Reddit type of stuff you know forums, is a little bit more work than that

I mean that's where you get beneficial information from organized discussions. Messy crap all over the place ain't going to help you solve whatever issue you're looking up

I did wonder if this would be good for community pages like you said. You have to go to Communities to see those posts. Atm it may not work as they're not that active and wouldn't create this 'fomo' or whatever, and make people check(?). Plus amethyst is terrible at keeping your joined communties. Notifications would be great.

I think I like it as they are. Only really seems to be a problem currently for clients with no community support eg snort and primal. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Looking at Amethyst, I like community notes appearing in the main feed as it shows the community name which can help attract non members to join and participate.

In general, i anticipate clients gradually adding improved filter support. Amethyst's "All Follows" feed will eventually get as noisy as Global, but from that users personalizations.

As long as we work to give users the tools and a meaningful UX around it, I dont see the harm. Much better than imposing view restrictions that may force way to many hops to drill down.

I like it as it shows in amethyst to, you get exposed to communities you may otherwise not have heard of. But I sense that the question was raised because some people dont want to see community posts maybe?

Or may e it's just the way they're shown in some clients (eg snort) that people don't like(?) Not sure.
