Description

The main dashboard doesn't ever show the activity of people I'm following. I don't know if that's intended but I feel like that's a bug, where else would I see what all the people I follow are up to? I would basically expect to see either all, or at least some algorithmic or filtered subset, of their "Public Activity" in there.

I think one of the best ways to handle it would be to show all of it, but grouped in some more aggressive way if it's a lot, e.g. by grouping all commits, pushes, other non-speaking non-comment activities into a single summary item per day for each single person followed. That would also be useful for my own activity on that dashboard if it was grouped like that, since right now it seems to additionally drown what's going on there due to being overly verbose - which is okay on my user profile when people check my "Public Activity", but on my own dashboard where I expect to see useful overviews for what's going on with everyone that seems kind of messy.

I hope this helps making the dashboard more useful, I think the whole discovery sharing community stuff of gitea has been improving greatly recently with topics and profile pages etc., and it's such a nice side to bigger source hosts like codeberg.

Gitea Version

I don't think it is a bug. But I think this is a good suggestion.
