@jgmac1106 Really enjoyed how you were able to cover some common topics with a very unique perspective/angle, and I’m glad to hear that IndieWeb folks are starting to work on the area of private groups (and planets! yay planets!) for conversations and such that shouldn’t be public-by-default. // @EddieHinkle

@jgmac1106 @smokey Dumb question: what makes a Planet different from a River?

@bradenslen TBH, the only River I’ve seen is @Ron’s Dylan River (which seemed like it was grouping posts by source, which seemed weird to me), so I’m not the best-equipped to answer that.

Planets are very much like (post-only) timelines, so what’s newest, no matter which source is contributing it, is top-most. Planet Mozilla, Planet Gnome are two of the biggest and oldest still extant.

Every community should have one.

Yup, and instead we’re stuck with Facebook groups for most communities :-(

@smokey I see the difference now that you point it out. Thank you.

@jgmac1106 Something strange is happening here; every time someone replies to this reply (=“Thanks smokey I love planets…”)—or replies to a reply to it (Brad’s question this AM)—on Micro.blog, the Micro.blog copy of the reply is deleted and recreated with a new timestamp (and new set of iOS notifications, and new position in the M.B Conversation)….

I.e., in the last ~15 minutes, I’ve gotten a new notification, and the “I love planets” reply has moved, for 1) my reply to Brad (“TBH, the only River I’ve seen”), 2) my first reply to “Thanks smokey I love planets” (“Yup, and instead we’re stuck with Facebook groups”), and 3) Brad’s reply to me. And this reply should now generate another notification and delete/recreate cycle on “Thanks smokey I love planets”….

@smokey I think they're grouped by RSS feed. At the start, it just grabs everything available in each RSS feed, so a bunch from each source at a time. But then after that, it will get stuff as it is published, which will likely lead to less grouping, as each feed pushes out its most recently published item.

Thanks @smokey I love planets. Every community should have one. I need to get somebody to help me build one using a social reader for my classes in January.
