Popular fediverse topics from my corner of the social web
-
Initially, the pseudo-category was called "World". I renamed them "Uncategorized" recently to better reflect that they don't currently belong in one of the organized categories on the forum.
It's not meant to be a degradation of the importance of the topic, but merely that it is coming from elsewhere and subject to pruning, which is the main differentiator.
As you can imagine, there's a lot of content streaming in from the social web, and not all of it is relevant, or read, or even seen. While we don't prune content yet, all of it does take up space, so eventually, topics that are not categorized will be purged unless it has had some form of interaction (e.g. a reply was made from a local user, one of the posts got upvoted, etc.)
"Uncategorized" also open up possibilities in the future. Perhaps you have a plugin that enabled you to create your own blog posts or status updates. If we didn't have this category, then most plugins would end up creating their own data structures. Now, those could be posted as topics in the Uncategorized category because that's what they are — uncategorized.

@julian Ha-ha, unexpected AND cool
(to illustrate better: https://community.nodebb.org/popular?cid[]=-1 )But, I like the "World" better. Maybe, something like "Outside World" would be better. Just "Uncategorized" sounds like that garbage folder you have on your desktop that you only add to but otherwise never touch.

@julian maybe using "unsorted" instead of "uncategorized" can help with the negative perception, or something like "unlabeled"...
alternatively, if you are adventurous enough, it can be something like "fediverse aggregate", "fediverse agora" or something like "networked agora" ...

@crazycells labels are to tags as X are to categories?
It could just be the coloration too... let me just change it to black on white and that may make all the difference.

@crazycells the topic list should load additional topics when you near the end. Maybe you have pagination enabled?
-
@crazycells thanks, maybe the popular route does not support pagination... Do you see pagination when you filter by other categories?
-
@crazycells ok no problem. I will remove the /world/all page then
-
nope, it is not the same...
/world/alldoes not show pagination...https://community.nodebb.org/recent?cid[]=-1 shows this:
https://community.nodebb.org/world/all shows this:
-
@crazycells that's correct. Content wise they're identical, so if /world/all doesn't show pagination then I will just remove it altogether.
-
@crazycells I do not like repeated logic, as it adds maintenance burden. I will be removing it regardless
