  • im going to write documentation for something I don’t understand and can’t figure out? Maybe if we had a dedicated website we all use that let us upvote good posts we could have a thread about support for the latest upgrade and then we could use the answers on that website (maybe we call it Lemmy) to update the documentation (which is partly on github, partly on the join-lemmy docs page, and scattered across 4 matrix channels)


  • thats not an upgrade support thread its a thread announcing the release. Notice how no one is posting there asking for support and no where in the documentation does it mention the thread. People are guided towards the matrix instead and theres like 4 matrix channels where people ask questions so its all unorganized, unsearchable on search engines, and no benefit of upvotes







  • Google doesn’t have vision or taste in my opinion. They released a million messaging apps and STILL haven’t made a decent one. Its been how many years and they still use SMS on most androids and people have to rely on whatsapp, a Fcaebook app… now they’re releasing their new “standard” RCS which has competing versions some with end to end encryption by default and some without.

    They STILL don’t have a FaceTime alternative unless you use whatsapp…

    Google knows how to show ads and everything else has so little passion and vision i dont trust any of their services because they love to kill their products











  • User option to block Lemmy server/instance

    • Ability for a user to essentially block an entire servers posts. I don’t want to rely on my admin to block a server. I want the option to block all posts and the option to block all posts and comments. (Block or hide is fine)

    Quick Scroll

    • Button to scroll to next top comment that can be held to scroll to previous top comment (like apollo has)

    Mute words

    • Ability to block/mute words so for example i can block all communities with the word meme in it because i want to browse All to find new communities but i never want to see meme communities/posts.

    Notes

    • Add custom notes/tags to a user/community that can be color coded

    Embed youtube/invidious/peertube that pins on scroll

    • When opening a thread with a link to a youtube/peertube/inividious link have it embed and play in the app and when you go to the comments have the video stay pinned on top so you can keep watching while scrolling through the comments





  • The reason the enshittification of reddit and everything is because at the end of the day bills need to be paid and developers need to take breaks or pass on work to other. Look at how the mobile lemmy app mlem got treated so badly and was too stressed to keep developing it… Servers cost money. Open source software development cost money. Just like Wikipedia i want to support it to ensure it can stay sustainable. Making it easier for people to see the health of the server helps keep it sustainable and alive
