Merge Social profile into Nextcloud profile

[AndyScherzinger]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Two profiles Social and Nextcloud

Describe the solution you'd like Merge Social profile into Nextcloud profile

Describe alternatives you've considered None.

Additional context

The profile section (posts/following/followers) should be merged into the Nextcloud profile and the profile item in the left sidebar should then just link to the Nextcloud profile:

@jancborchardt @nimishavijay for a suggestion how/where to place the mentioned social-profile info.

What information is available to be displayed? Not sure if the about section shows up, couldn't find it while testing. It could look something like this:

Assuming everything can be shown:

Also tried a version without the profile picture and the about:

Main points across all both mockups:

• [ ] Show "follow" button or if that's not possible a "View profile" button
• [ ] Show profile details separated by a middle dot separator ( · )
• [ ] numbers are in bold, similar to twitter

What do you think? @jancborchardt

[AndyScherzinger]

@nimishavijay at least

should be displayed I would say

[jancborchardt]

@nimishavijay nice! Some additional considerations:

• The biography and name showing as part of the Social section looks a bit strange and duplicated. The Social biography would be your profile settings bio, and the name would be your display name. :)
• For that reason it's probably good to see the mockup with the context of the rest of the Profile
• How would following/followers be shown when clicked? I'm thinking posts is always good as the default view, and following/followers could be a modal? (Same modal, with switcher between the two.)
• The posts initially displayed should be more than 3, probably 5 at least.
• Time stamp needs to be included
• Ah and cause you mentioned a "View profile" button: This will be the full profile. The extra "Profile" in Social is to be replaced with this. The plan is to have the "Profile" nav entry in Social link to the Nextcloud Profile instead :)

Oh! I completely misunderstood this feature, thank you for the clarification @jancborchardt :) Updated mockups:

• [ ] The social component is integrated into profile
• [ ] Since it's the only section shown now, there's no need for a separate "Social" heading as in my previous mockups
• [ ] Follow button is now the primary button on the profile, the primary button which existed previously is a secondary button
• [ ] The position of the status is changed, since the person's @ handle will go there. It is instead with the rest of the details
• [ ] Agreed with Jan about showing more posts. In fact, I don't think we should limit it at all. Until there are more sections added at least, there could be an endless number of posts shown
• [ ] Modal for followers/following sounds good!
• [ ] @AndyScherzinger do you mean the icons with your comment? I really considered using the icons like it currently exists, but it is difficult to find distinct icons for "Followers" and "Following", and the other social media I checked don't use icons for this either (Mastodon, Twitter and Instagram). @jancborchardt do you have any suggestions?

I still have a few questions about the extent to which the profile and Social will be integrated.

• Will there be more actions for a profile? Block/report, etc
• Would the distinction between headline and bio be applicable for a Social profile?
• How would the visibility of your profile work if it is integrated with Social?

Sorry for the confusion! I hope I understood the idea this time :)

@AndyScherzinger do you mean the icons with your comment?

@nimishavijay I meant the information in general, so having the data for posts/followers/following, which your latest comment at https://github.com/nextcloud/social/issues/1620#issuecomment-1456556890 includes. So all good from my side 👍
