What does a fandom social media platform need in an ideal world? Here’s what I’ve got so far:
A chronological dash (perhaps with reorganization functions based on other feed priorities like “close friends” or “most popular” available as options)
Posts with visible dates of posting
Image, text, video, and link posting options
Forms of interaction: reblog, reply, comment, like
Some manner of saving/bookmarking other people’s posts
No real life ID requirement
Adult content friendly (legal adult content)
Hate speech prohibition
Search function (key words, tags, bold topics)
Porn bot/spam prohibited
Okay, what am I missing?
Queue feature. I want to be able to schedule my posts out.
Draft function; Sometimes a post takes a while to write.
An easy way to edit and/or tag old posts.
Okay, and we’ve got a reply that says “ficcinghell
A chat/IM feature, preferably one that is exportable and also searchable.”
What else, folks? Reblog and give me all the things!
Omg, this was such a pain in the ass, but if you want to fix your stuck blog this is how you do it.
Everything I posted after my first “request for review” got stuck. It was like they put my damn blog on hold. So all the edits I was doing to past posts clogged up my dash. Everything I posted since yesterday afternoon got stuck behind those.
First off, go into your “mass post editor” (little man, pick your blog, find the MPE beneath Edit Appearance), choose all the posts that haven’t shown up since your blog got stuck and add a tag. I chose “Test” to make it easy to find.
This should get your blog moving again. Now, go into your blog, not your dash, but your actual first page. The Home Page. This will show you the posts that have been “flagged and reviewed” like mine were. I did this second step with both desktop and mobile open to see my progress.
It’s like all your newest posts are being hidden behind old ones, so depending on how many posts you’ve made, this could take a while. Scroll down (easiest on mobile) to find your most current post to see how long this dang process will take. Mine was about 7 pages down.
Now, you have to Edit the Tags on EVERY GODDAMNED POST BETWEEN THEM. Yes. Every bloody post (easiest to do on Desktop). I added the word “Testy” to every post and then refreshed my home page to see if it was working. It took me 45minutes to get through all the posts, but once I finished, my blog was on track again, and people can now see my current posts.
J.K. Simmons is on Live with Kelly and Ryan and just said I’m Not Here, the movie his wife wrote and directed that also stars Sebastian, is coming out in March!
