I feel like every time I click over to the bonfire tab, it's just.... showing the flames loading animation and not showing me people interacting.

and I am very impatient so I seldom wait or refresh until I get people.

@flancian @edumerco @dphiffer have you done any testing with circles or anything yet?

some friends and I started to today, but didn't get super far. They're on a different server and so far I cannot see anything in their circles even tho it thinks it added me

i'm also surprised to not see the usual mastodon levels of post privacy - there doesn't seem to be a mentioned people only, unless i create a special boundary for y'all

test circle test post

you should be able to see this and interact with it

whoops! this was public

Hello, this is a post.

It has more than one line.

Two line breaks.

Truly sad, and really a show of what's coming if we don't create alternatives... 😐

Happy to be testing [[Bonfire]]!
