Content Viewing Preferences in Communities

Screenshot_3.png

This may already be on the radar since Steemit.com has some content viewing preferences already, but just so it's out there I think the bet.Steemit site would be further improved by allowing the user to define how they want to see content.

I think the options that Steempeak has are a good selection.

To take this further, I think at the end of the day it should be up to the user to define their viewing experience, but what I think would be a great addition is letting Community owners define the default on a per Community basis.

So as the Community owner you define the default appearance, but the user can change it to whatever they like. I think also once they change it that should be saved as their preference and be THEIR default from that point on.

Obviously my Community is an Art Community, and I'm a big fan of the grid layout with the focus and most of the screen real estate being taken up by images. I might even like something like Steempeaks portfolio page that is ONLY images and no text.

Then perhaps on roll over we see post details like votes, payout and author. That would be pretty awesome actually.

Anyway what do you all think? Are you playing with

https://beta.steemit.com/

yet?

Exactly this!!
... this is more or less our philosophy for the new social media experience.
Also I wanna make the 3 different view styles more prominent than it presently is.

hi @jarvie

Any idea if it is possible to remove some post from community? I didn't find such an option.

I would also personally love if as a community admin/owner I could whitelist users who are allowed to post within community. Right now EVERYONE can. Which sucks big time.

Im very curious how steemit communities will progress in the nearest future.
Cheers, Piotr

BTW don't forget to tag us or use #peakreview or even #steempeak so we see these posts since you're talking plenty about steempeak and we're also working on our communities system development.

To know how "steemit" communities will progress you'll have to ask the owners of that interface.

We don't have our communities interface up and running yet but moderators will be able to hide posts from the community as well as comments.

Once this open to post community system is running steadily it is supposed other types of communities will be available such as approved users only type communities. But you'll have to wait some time for that development to be started on the backend.

Good morning @steempeak

I just realized that I never thanked you for your previous comment.

Also - would you mind if I take few minutes of your time? (I hope I'm not asking this question to often ;)

Anyway .... together with few core members of project.hope team - we'te trying to promote our recent publication: an article explaining economy behind our non-profit community project build on STEEM blockchain.

Perhaps I could ask you to spare few minutes and check it out and share your feedback with me.

I would absolutely appreciate it a lot. I read all comments and I drop solid upvote on each valuable one.

When logged in as admin, if you click on a post there should be a button there to mute that post. That hides it.

Great ideas. One of my goals is to define a few standard layouts in the protocol, as a per-community setting. But these could be extended per UI.

Examples:

  • standard (condensed lines with thumbnail, like we currently have)
  • blog (large preview images, using more vertical space)
  • gallery (heavily image focused)
  • link-only (all post titles are an external link)
