@jankusanagi@identi.ca I reminded what major and minor feeds are at https://github.com/pump-io/pump.io/blob/master/API.md and these are really infrastructure-level things: users should see more friendly things :-)
Unfortunately, current Pump.io web UI is not a good example to follow, and this means that good visual presentations of user activities are yet to be invented.
This leads to a conceptual question: What is semantic difference between "like/favorite" and "reblog/"share" in pump.io - wrong term for this domain, btw...)?
Both activities have similar effect in Pump.io: effectively repost other people's messages.
Claes Wallin (韋嘉誠), AndStatus@Identi.ca shared this.
I'm not grounding this in pump.io or ActiveVocab specs, but I think the semantics of share, fave, minor and major are pretty clear from how people use them and their analogues on pump, GNU Social, Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Shares are presented almost as if I posted them myself, but with a clear indication who the original author is. Faves are shown mainly as an indicator/counter on the faved object in question, but may be shown in some more detailed view of what a particular user has been doing, or a more detailed view of everybody's actions. Majors are direct messages that I'm supposed to not miss, and minors are messages in a stream that I'll probably sample but might not follow to the last message. Minors that turn out to be important will probably be shared bynothers, who happened to see them.
Mentions / "To" posts should probably be available as another stream, but the Pump WebUI doesn't do it that way.
