This was the best explanation to date I have seen of what Bonfire actually is. I still think that the ratio of marketing speak to features/users is way too high for me to get excited about it yet. I wish them all the luck and hope for the platform's continued improvement though.

You are on PieFed, so you can always use a bit of custom css to make them go away. Pop this snippet into the custom css field of your user settings:

.comment_time {
    display: none;
}

€30,000! I was stunned when I just pulled up their crowdfunding campaign. Apparently that is enough money for software "maintenance". I think you have severely underpaid me for my contributions to PieFed if that is the going rate. I was just a sucker doing it for free. 😜

I can confirm that this is something @Skavau@piefed.social has brought up in the past on multiple occasions. It's an issue that I am sympathetic to, but so far it hasn't been a high priority for us to take the time to try to address. One of the biggest complaints we see people have about the threadiverse in general is that there isn't enough content; that their feed gets stale too quickly. So, having more subscriptions hasn't necessarily been seen as too much of a "problem" from my perspective.

What I did work on was making it easier to unsubscribe from communities. If you filter the communities page to just communities you are subscribed to, it should be a simple matter of clicking the buttons to unsubscribe to undesired communities. It used to reload the page each time, which made that task immensely tedious.

Frankly, now that Skavau has a third party backing up their position, they will be insufferable about it until we try to fix it 😜
