Description:
On a book page, it shows this:
“1 ratings, 1 reviews” is clickable and takes me to the ratings and reviews, all is well there.
“2 reading, 2 finished” is clickable but it takes you to the entire activity feed for the book:
If someone has been marking their progress on a book then this activity feed is completely filled with page updates, and I can’t see who simply read the book without rating or reviewing it.
Reasoning: If someone I know has read a book without rating it or reviewing it, I would like to still be able to find that information (so I can ask them what they thought about the book) without trawling through the entire activity feed of a book.

Or a filter by type of activity could also be nice. That way you could filter out wishlisting and see progress updates and or completion updates.

Yeah, a filter might work the same way. It just kind of irks me that when you click on ‘4 finished’ it takes you to… “so and so read pages 44-45. so and so read pages 45-46.” etc etc. If I’m clicking on “4 finished” I want to see who finished it!

This would probably need to respect the user’s privacy settings, but assuming their list isn’t private I agree with this.

I mean, it’s already on the book activity page, so if you care you should set your activity to private.

I see activity and status as two different things. This request is to show users with a specific status, so it should honor the setting related to statuses (list privacy).

I guess my point is the activity doesn’t go anywhere. It’s on the book page’s activity feed forever, it doesn’t just appear once in the main feed and disappear
I think there’s some confusion here. Users have a global privacy setting (private/semi/public) and per custom list privacy setting.
List privacy settings aren’t relevant here - statuses aren’t custom lists. You won’t see any activity related to custom lists in activity, that hasn’t been implemented. These are all status change activities / reading updates which are controlled by the global privacy settings.
So, the activities you see here are from public users.. or from semi-private users you are following (and not blocked by).

Oh, I thought that setting was just for profile/list, but that makes sense.

I’m a bit confused, do you want a different behaviour than the filter that is already in?
