Make 'autofollow_on_join_user' configuration a list #4986
Comments
I completely support this proposal. It would be really useful. |
Not sure that this is needed, that's why community spotlights exist imo. |
AFAIK community spotlight is not something that newly registered users automatically follow? |
Hm, don't think so, it's just recommendation. |
As far as I know, community spotlight is also only available if the podmin has enabled it and manually added accounts to the list. So it can't act as a replacement for auto-follow. |
Exactly like for auto-follow :p |
There's already an issue for that, #4324 :P This is for something different, a feature enabling a podmin to suggest more than one account to auto-follow. The explanation/option in #4324 is important for reasons of transparency, but this is a separate feature suggestion and shouldn't depend on 4324 being implemented first, because auto-following two accounts (DHQ and podmin) without explanation isn't really any worse than auto-following DHQ alone without any explanation... |
I would like to start working on this issue. Is this issue meant to open ?(I am unable to infer from the comments) |
@aka001 getting this done would be awesome! Basically
If you need help, don't forget to ask! |
Oh, I guess not to break backwards compat it would be nice to make sure to either make sure when reading the config the code falls back to understanding it as a string OR we can introduce a new config variable |
@jaywink Thank you for the detailed reply. I would like to confirm one more thing. The autofollow_on_join_user variable needs to be modified in config/defaults.yml, right ? |
@aka001 yes there but of course also the |
I want to back this issue, and am interested if there is any progress, yet ? thanks! |
Feel free to post a bounty... There's a link below the initial issue text. |
autofollow_on_join_user
-setting should be a list to enable auto follow of several accounts for new signups.Example - I have a pod and an official podmin account for it. I want my new users to follow this account automatically to receive pod news. But I would also like them to follow the diaspora HQ account to receive project news.
