I'm super impressed by the features I'm discovering using Piefed! I'm going to be experimenting a lot with the keyword filter particularly. Here are some ideas we might add to make Piefed even better. Share you own in the replies.

Some of these options where too long to make it a poll.

No, like having my feeds instead of "subscribed", "local", "popular". Ideally with a way to mark which feeds I want on the list

    Each individual feed is exactly like that, I was missing though that you want cross-topic feeds. That might defeat the purpose of having a "Topic", which are designed more for new users to see what's available.

    Although I believe that a "Feed" is exactly what you may be looking for, or at least my understanding of that. They are user customizable and even shareable, so you can put all the communities you want into such a feed and then load that. Politics, memes, art, history, news, you name it, including any topic areas you want and none that you do not, and then have a separate feed for like gaming, music, etc., maybe a third one for quiet reflections like poetry or whatever, and swap out whatever feed fits your current mood.

    It takes a bit of doing - either to find an existing one that perfectly suits your desires, or rolling your own custom one, but I think that would scratch that itch?

    I already have a bunch of my own feeds. My issue is that from UX perspective those work best when I have them opened as separate tabs on laptop. In PWA there are no tabs. And in the feeds dropdown not all are shown, only a handful. So in order to check what's new in a bunch of feeds (too big to get notification about all that's happening in those) in PWA, I have to

    1. Click the feeds
    2. Click my feeds
    3. Click the one I want to check
    4. Repeat for the next one
    5. And next one
    6. ...

    Being able to switch between my feeds like between "subscribed" and "local" would be much better

    That would be great, yeah.

    And/or I think there's more we could do on the Communities menu to put things important to people high up in that menu. That's not as easy to get to as something right on the home page but it's just an extra click or two.
