Activity feed items that use a youtube shorts url (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VIDEO_ID) don't play. But if you change to the standard url (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID) they work fine.

I enabled FluentPlayer last night on staging. Things seemed fine, but I was only checking videos in feed. Turns out it seemed to create a firewall conflict with WordFence that would not respond to any custom rules. I finally found that if I keep FluentPlayer enablled, but toggle \ "play videos with fluent player" the issue was resolved. I've put in a support ticket to have that examined as a bug.

Would you like to have Zoom or Google Meet integrated into your community?

Is it just me or does anyone else agree that space admins should be able to schedule posts? I can't think of any reasonable reason they should be blocked from doing so.

FC Feed Restrictor enhances the default behavior of FluentCommunity by ensuring users only see content from Spaces they have actively joined.

By default, community feeds can become cluttered or expose content to users who are not members of certain Spaces. This plugin intelligently filters the feed at the database level β€” creating a cleaner, more private, and more professional community experience.

If a user hasn’t joined any Space, their feed remains empty β€” encouraging structured participation and better engagement.

Built for performance and stability, FC Feed Restrictor integrates seamlessly into FluentCommunity without modifying core files.

Fluent Community Feed Restrictor

And have this revert back to admin set default when user exits the page, because currently depending on how things are set, new content can get lost. Specially if the user had set it to "Popular" and on their next visit doesn't notice the new posts.

I’d like to request a simple content curation feature.

1. Pin Posts on Profile

  • Let users pin their own posts to their profile.

This helps users highlight important guides, builds, or showcase posts.

2. Custom Bookmark Collections

  • Allow users to create custom bookmark folders.
  • Option to keep folders private or make them public.
  • Public folders could appear on the user’s profile.

This would make saved content easier to organize, browse, and share, instead of bookmarks being just a basic save feature.
