Hmmm. I wonder if @Daniel Lowe has any insight - the Bluesky plugin has two check boxes in settings: Load timeline and Load pinned feeds.

I basically want to see exactly what I would see on the Bluesky feed, which is posts created by follows but not posts that are commented on by follows.

If I check Load timeline, I see posts commented on by follows, which rapidly clogs up my Friendica feed with random stuff. If I don't check it, I don't seem to see much of anything.

I cannot figure out what these two settings do, or indeed what the definition of feed v timeline is.

This may be more of a bluesky question and I don't have much experience with it. Bluesky does have the twitter model of interaction, though, where the timeline by default includes the posts that your follows reply to. I can imagine, maybe, an option where it ignores replies by follows, but we don't have that here. At least not yet.

I've separated my follows into multiple Circles, separating "followed" and "friends" and that's helped a bunch.

@Daniel Lowe Yeah, I don't expect you to know the answer to all this stuff, but you're more likely than about anyone else I can tag, and we're talking stuff obscure enough that Google searches don't help much.

I hate Twitter with the burning passion of 1000 flaming suns, and that's from before the Muskpocolypse. It's designed to discourage personal connection in favor of retweet mongering. I realize I'm in an oxymoronic position of trying to get Twitter clones to stop behaving like Twitter. But I'm trying at least to get the thing that is actually enriching to my life.

Dur. The web is what's giving me a problem. I'm going to disable the Dreamwidth plugin just in case that's the cause 🤔
