Waves is our short-form, fast-moving way to post on Hive, and it got a lot of love in 4.4.0.
One combined feed
The biggest change: For you now brings Waves from across the network into a single timeline. No more hopping between communities to catch what is happening. It is all in one place.
See the value at a glance
Every Wave card now shows payout, vote count, and replies, and not just on For you. Following feeds and tag feeds get the same treatment, so you can tell what is resonating without opening each one.
Your mute list actually sticks
People you mute are now filtered on the server, so your feed stays the way you want it across sessions and devices.
A calmer, lighter feed
Videos no longer autoplay while you scroll, including embedded ones. That means a quieter feed and less data used on mobile.
Friendlier edges
Deleted or unavailable Waves now show a clear, friendly screen instead of a dead end.
Each Wave now carries a small source badge, so you can see where it came from at a glance.
We also fixed publish times on custom feeds and tag selection on Following.
Built to be resilient
We hardened the feed so that one failing community can no longer wipe out your whole For you timeline. If one source has a hiccup, the rest of your feed keeps flowing.
Waves is now faster to scan, clearer about value, and steadier than before. Jump in and post a Wave today.
Tomorrow: new ways to create. Follow @ecency to keep up.
I just logged in here and it is a great experience so far. Will love to spend more time exploring ecency.
It is working wonderfully. I may need to filter out a couple feeds that I am not interested in seeing!😁
Thank you for this new update, ecency is always improving. Have a nice day ahead.
I'll check it asap.
What happens when you post from waves? Does it show in the other feeds as well?
That depends on those apps but we will show it.
I noticed that if I post on peakd Snaps that appears in the Waves feed, isn't that going to create double post like feed?
Opposite, people who were posting in multiple place would stop double posting but submit once
snap doesn't show all posts in single feed that's so ecency's posts don't appear in their main feed. but ecency's main feed has both waves+peakd too. that creates double post is what I meant.
Yes I understood, what you mean, cannot avoid if people share same content on two different feeds, can encourage them to share once perhaps…
Problem is your are mixing their (snap, threads etc) feeds in Wave but they don't reciprocate the same way for Wave in their feeds. That's another problem. So people will still post on other interface more as it would automatically come to wave. isn't it? that's self defeating for Waves.
Yes partially you are right. Problem is fragmentation and friction. We are marketing it accessible for Ecency users so they can interact and customize, there is mobile app changes coming out soon, will give you an idea, website also getting couple more changes
So I will be able to interact with other platform users such as peakd, snapie etc?
Yes
