Follow a channel #237

Open KyleMaas opened 3 years ago

KyleMaas commented 3 years ago

I noted Patchwork allows users to follow channels. I suppose we should probably support that, or at least support showing those follow messages. I just don't know what format the actual SSB messages are in.

Looks like they're messages like this:

content: {
  channel: "channel-name",
  subscribed: true,
  type: "channel"
}

Example: %PJsHSrHu/QrsjvJwg9AO5ppcDnE/XWKhd1yufoHaEEo=.sha256

This is actually pretty nice in that it pulls in content you might be interested in without following the people directly.
