Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When you use Plume as a regular blog engine, and don't really care about the discovery part, it's annoying to have the federated timeline showed as the default.
Consider https://blog.funkwhale.audio/: it's mainly used for announcements about Funkwhale releases, yet I cannot simply link our audience to https://blog.funkwhale.audio/, because it shows completely unrelevant entries (in multiple languages, absolutely unrelated to Funkwhale, etc.)
My current workaround is to always link to https://blog.funkwhale.audio/local, but this is far from perfect: if users click the home button, they will land on the homepage anyway, and people searching for
funkwhale blog
on search engines will still arrive here.Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like an option to promote the local feed of my Plume instance on the landing page, instead of the federated one. The most basic option I can imagine is an environment variable, like
HOMEPAGE_CONTENT={all|local}
, withall
being the default (current behaviour).Setting
HOMEPAGE_CONTENT=local
would display only local content in the homepage, which I suspect is only a matter of adding properif
blocks in the homepage template.This isn't required to solve this ticket, but we could also imagine supportingg more complex customization using that variable. E.g. specifying
HOMEPAGE_CONTENT=local,federated
would display the local and federated blocks, in that order. I think it would give an easy option to display the federated feeds, without being annoying to instance owners who want to show their own blogs first :)Possibly linked to https://github.com/Plume-org/Plume/issues/450, and closable when Generic Timelines are implemented :)
