[#120] User profile or subspace with no posts should not have any feeds or placeholders presented

If I search for this on a random search engine, I get hundreds of results pointing to BBS userspaces. Not very helpful.

As a user, I'm not only interested in how my profile looks on the service the profile is on, but also on search engines and other aggregated content.

If I access my userspace tinylog, I get:

# michaelnordmeyer
=> gemini://michaelnordmeyer.com

author: @michaelnordmeyer@bbs.geminispace.org
avatar: 🍵

There are no posts.


> Emptiness is a boundless canvas, an unconstrained beginning: an opportunity for the courageous to create and the curious to explore.

As a user, I neither want a tinylog, nor do I want content on it, which is not mine. I prefer a 51 Not Found, if I don't have any posts.

Same goes for a Gemini feed:

# michaelnordmeyer
=> gemini://michaelnordmeyer.com

There are no posts.


> Emptiness is a boundless canvas, an unconstrained beginning: an opportunity for the courageous to create and the curious to explore.



=> /u/michaelnordmeyer 🍵 u/michaelnordmeyer
=> /help 📖 Help
=> /conduct  ❤️ Code of conduct

In the end, I want to be in charge of what is displayed to users on my profile page. And if I don't have any userspace posts, I don't want to have a working Gemini feed, Atom feed, or tinylog and the links to those. And no Antenna link.

Fair enough, without any posts, the UI should not be showing any actions related to the feed or posts therein.

I see your point about the placeholder being search engine spam.

Wouldn't hurt to throw in an option to disable the Tinylog feed entirely if one doesn't want to publish one.
