🔒 Identities! After a long wait (thanks for the patience, folks) Station now supports multiple identities.
You'll now find a "Manage Identities" option in "Your Account" where you'll be able to see and manage all identities associated with your account.
To add a new identity you must first set a password. Once a password has been set, join Station with the new identity and choose to associate it with an existing account.
Hopefully this will help with folks who have certs expiring soon, allow folks to create backup identities, and make it easier to access Station accounts in other/mobile clients. 👏
🗞️ Polls! Capsuleers on Station can now ask for advice in a more structured way via polls. Add a poll to your post by starting any newline with the following syntax:
[POLL <question>] <option 1> | <option 2> | <option N>
For example:
[POLL So, polls on Station are pretty cool, right?] Nope | Hell yeah! | I couldn't care less
Posts can only have 1 poll (anywhere in the post), and polls can have between 2 and 5 options.
Polls are displayed in posts as a dynamically-updated text graphic showing the current results and voting numbers:
• POLL: So, polls on Station are pretty cool, right? • · · · Results · · · · [1] 0% • Nope (0 votes) · · [2] 0% • Hell yeah! (0 votes) · · [3] 0% • I couldn't care less (0 votes) · · · • ·················································· •
To vote in a poll post a reply containing the text "[N]" (anywhere in your reply), where N is your vote number (1-5). For example:
Yeah, I like polls, so I'll vote [2].
For each user, only the last vote cast is counted – to change a vote just reply with a new one.
Happy voting!
🗞️ Query optimisations! Station is now travelling through space even quicker than before.
🗞️ Extra station activity – the homepage now shows the latest 30 logs instead of 10. Thanks @kevinsan.
🗞️ Log archive – on the account page, you'll find a "Your Archive" link which shows a complete list of your own logs. Thanks @dimitrigorvachov.
🗞️ Tinylogs – at the bottom of any user's logs you'll find a "Tinylog Feed" link, letting you "follow" that user outside of Station. See https://codeberg.org/bacardi55/gemini-tinylog-rfc for more info about Tinylog. Thanks @skyjake and @bacardi55.
🗞️ Newlines are now preserved in posts. If your browser allows you to enter newlines, Station will make sure they stay in your post.
🗞️ You can now use ``` and > lines in your posts for rendering code/ASCII art and quotes.
🗞️ Station now supports search. A search for "foo bar" (without quotes) matches all logs and replies containing either word. A search for "foo AND bar" will find results with both "foo" and "bar". Happy searching!
🗞️ In addition to bio, image and location, you can now add a link to your profile.
🗞️ Notifications are now shown on the homepage (thanks @bobby).
🗞️ On the homepage you'll also now find Station diagnostics, showing some basic stats.
🗞️ You can now mention other users by using an @ symbol before their username. If you're mentioned in a log or a reply, you'll receive a notification to let you know 👊.
🗞️ First Station release 🚀.
