--- Log opened jue abr 28 00:00:30 2022 07:45 < fikabot> 💬 possibility to hide birthday reminders as well as calendar on a per user basis (I think both should default to off) have been pet problems of mine for a really long time. 08:05 < fikabot> 💬 Isn't the above mentioned option just for that? For hiding birthday reminders? 08:48 < fikabot> 💬 it's on by default is it? can you link the post? was not aware there is an user option now. 08:48 < fikabot> 💬 s_t_e_v_e: https://github.com/friendica/friendica/blob/960d440ab6e68987892ec679c1436e5388f350a1/static/defaults.config.php#L601 08:49 < fikabot> 💬 not sure what to do with this link 08:50 < fikabot> 💬 Could you perhaps just scroll up a few pages to read what we have discussed about it just recently? 08:51 < fikabot> 💬 I think there is a misunderstanding 08:51 < fikabot> 💬 this all reads as if there is a server side setting for admins 08:51 < fikabot> 💬 or am I misunderstanding this? 08:55 < fikabot> 💬 I see two questions: 08:55 < fikabot> 💬 a) are calendar and birthday reminders defaulting to on or off? 08:55 < fikabot> 💬 b) is there a user facing setting allowing to hide / disable both on a per user basis. 08:55 < fikabot> 💬 from my very limited understanding I think the answer to both is: defaults to on and no user facing setting is available. 09:00 < fikabot> 💬 I think the answer right now is that nobody bothered to created a theme for this (or adjust one of the existing ones) to allow for changing this on the user side, but it wouldn't be that difficult. 09:00 < fikabot> 💬 I think the answer right now is that nobody bothered to create a theme for this (or to adjust one of the existing ones) to allow for changing this on the user side, but it wouldn't be that difficult. 09:16 < fikabot> 💬 I understand. So reading the discussion won't help with my question. No problem but that was what lead to my initial statemen: "has been a long time pet bug of mine" 09:16 < fikabot> 💬 I understand.

I probably should create one. but yeah, calendar is probably the least used feature in friendica. 09:22 < fikabot> 💬 it is nice to have but I think most users don't care about it and reducing the overloaded default view would be a win for users I think. 09:23 < fikabot> 💬 related https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/3980 09:30 < fikabot> 💬 Friendica and Hubzilla is unique in being the only federated eventing platforms with a legacy. (Mobilizon also recently entered this space, but it is not federating correctly after a few years of development) I use calendar events regularly to invite others to our parties and talks. 09:31 < fikabot> 💬 Friendica and Hubzilla are unique in being the only federated eventing platforms with a legacy.

I just think it should default to off and option to disable on per users basis is needed 10:41 < fikabot> 💬 I am not suggesting to kill functionality. I just think it should default to off and option to disable on per users basis is needed 10:41 < fikabot> 💬 I am not suggesting to kill functionality. I just think it should default to off and option to disable on per users basis is needed. and defaulting calendar to off and having less cluttered UI as side-effect with one less main icon on the top left is a win. 11:38 < fikabot> 💬 People usually don't know how to change defaults. If we invited someone to register on Friendica and join our forum to get notified about new event, it would definitely be extra inconvenient if we also had to attach screenshots about how to enable calendar events. It's way too many steps as is. 14:55 < fikabot> 💬 I would not recommend to hide one of the unique selling points of Friendica. --- Log closed vie abr 29 00:00:32 2022
