I was rather active back on Google+ back in the day (and I am a bit miffed that Google ended it _one week_ before I started my Patreon campaign).
And the one feature I truly miss are the "Collections". Basically, you could assign each of your posts to a single Collection you've defined. For example, I created the following Collections (among others):
- "RPG" (tabletop role-playing games)
- "Politics"
- "Deutsch" (German-language posts)
- "Science"
and so forth. And those who followed me could choose whether to follow my entire stream, or only specific collections. Someone who wasn't interested in Politics could unsubscribe to these posts. Someone who could not read German could thus not have my German-language posts show up in their stream - and so forth.
This was an _amazing_ feature for keeping the signlal-to-noise ratio down in people's streams. And I would love it if someone implemented a #Fediverse -based approach for this - but I am not sure if #ActivityPub would even support such a subdivision.
