I write here to suggest to implement a small but very useful feature (at least for me).
I’d really like if stream could be sorted by “last updates”. That is just like “activity” stream works now but for all the posts, those i already liked/commented and those i didn’t yet.
My though is that if you have many contacts and you don’t check diaspora all the few hours, with the “recently posted” current stream many posts get lost at the bottom of the stream. Even if they are very active (commented/liiked).
I’d really like that a post would come on the top of the stream every time it’s liked/commented. So you can check not only the last posts but also the most active and interesting.
On diasp0ra.ca some kind of this feature was implemented so i hope it would not be much effort to add it in the main branch.

I’m pretty sure there is an existing Github issue for this, but I can’t find it at the moment. It’s definitely something which has been discussed before, and I support its implementation as an optional user setting.
My first thought: Does this work reliable with the federation?
Example: One user is on the way to move from pod A to pod B and adds the same users on the second.
One could expect now, that the “sort by update” will show the same results, but is this reliable (enough)?
What I’m asking for is, how fuzzy shall we allow this to be? Will users be confused when things don’t bubble up “in the right way”?
I have no idea on the technical side of this and its feasability. Anyway of course i think it should be an option (either a toggle to add somewhere or another “tab” like “stream” and “activity”).
@flaburgan doesn’t even matter. It’s a new feature that requires signficant new logic. I’m not seeing how you “could just add while porting the page to bootstrap”. Seriously, stop trying to sneak stuff into other issues.
