RE: Blogging
I made a post about this in The Lounge. There, I had to conserve my own suggestions so I could actually ask others what they wanted. Here, I will dump my own ideas for how staff could improve the blogging feature.
- Images. Multiple images would encourage people to post things like comics and really any image sets. Inline images would be even better to break up the walls of text. Dividers, decome, and even just pictures to the side would be great. Alt text is a must if we get this.
- Text colours. Free range to choose any colour would be preferred, but even a nice site-wide palette would be cool. Again, it would break up the text.
- Audio embeds. A much later game feature, if it'll ever be added, but I digress. I think just something like what we have on our profiles.
- Blog background styling. Not necessarily what we have in the posts/profiles, where we can change everything. Even some presets (paper textures, greeting card styles, etc.) would add some fun customisation!
Overall, I think blogs need more than text styling and a higher character limit. Posts garner more interactions because they can be shared in groups, which people already have more control over. Images also tip the scale a lot. I don't want to make posts worse, but I think blogs need to be more inviting than posts overall.
I think blogs should be the main way we talk here. Blogs are where you dump how your day went, while posts are, "My day sucked, lol," or, "Blog is gonna take a little longer."

Ended up making a group for people to brainstorm things we want added to Kwenk! It might not be on the front page for the groups yet, so search Kwenk Suggestions & Ideas. I'll also drop the link.

First post! I suppose an introduction is in order, even if this will get buried eventually.
Hello! I recently made a post in The Lounge, inspired by another user's post, asking what features people would like to see added to Kwenk. Specifically, I was asking about the blogging feature. Although I just posted it, I realised it would be good to have a place dedicated entirely to what we do and don't want on this site.
The group description has a character limit, so I'll throw some conversation starters down here. However, don't feel bound by these. As long as it doesn't break the Kwenk Terms of Service, anything goes!
1. What features do you think are boring, and what would make them more fun?
2. What is something you think would add to the old web revival theme?
3. How do you think we can keep Kwenk unique from other social medias (Bluesky, Insta, etc.)?
4. Any issues with the site as a whole (lag, loading times, etc.)?
5. What are some vague ideas you'd like to see added? Even if you don't know how to implement them!

What would you guys want in the blogs? What would make you actually want to use the blog function? I know this is just The Lounge, but I hope brainstorming ideas in a large group like this will catch the staff's eye. This could be a good opportunity to get some features we'd actually use, so we can make the most of the features already here.
Personally, I think being able to upload multiple images to blogs would be super cool. Inline images as well! I'd love to be able to add pictures to the side of my paragraphs or little decome emotes in my text. We could use this to add cute dividers, headers, and whatnot.
If that isn't possible, just having the opportunity to change text colours would be really neat. I'm unsure how difficult it would be to add entirely custom colours, but even a default set would be nice.
I truly think the blogging function here could be so popular if it just had more stuff. Right now, posts are the most eye-catching things. For me, I'm discouraged to blog when I know I'll get more interaction on posts.

Please comment your timezone and preferred date (either Saturday 29.08 or Sunday 30.08, you can add reasoning or not) if you're interested in the gamenight!!
Knowing general timezones here would help pick an hour for the gamenight when most people can join and don't have to miss out if the time doesn't align! And I'll pick the date that gets commented the most. Please do comment!!

Hiii so I did a remake of the demiaroace flag and greyaroace flag because I feel like the current ones and any other flags that popped up didn't work well and I'm currently debating whether I'm greyaroace or demiaroace, so I tried to make these flags more true to the aroace flag rather than the aro and ace siblings because just slapping on blue doesn't feel right. There are two main bright colors in the aroace flag, unlike the aro and ace. So, adding the orange, blue and yellow just seemed right and I tried following the pattern with which demi aro/ace and grey aro/ace flags were made. Thoughts? Should I post this anywhere else lol idk Just would like some feedback ┐( ∵ )┌
