No questions right now. Just wanted to say thank you for your hard work.
I know y'all catch a lot of shit and get hammered with requests/demands, so I wanted to let you know that your work is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for dedicating your time and energy to making a non-corporate, federated social environment possible.
Being on Lemmy has been a breath of fresh air.
Thanks so much for doing your part to make Lemmy an active place. That's the main thing that sets us free.
❤️
Thx! Really appreciate it, and I'm glad someone thinks its worthwhile work we're doing.
+1 on registration experience being the #1 issue.
Would also be cool if we could stop 404/500ing deleted posts and instead display some indication it has been deleted. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment.
Thanks for Lemmy! 💙
Are you disappointed with the way things are growing with people trying to marginalise the likes of ML and Grad?
I get a chuckle out of the "Tankie Triad" talking point some people keep using. It sounds like a villain organization from a Saturday morning cartoon.
It seems some people simply need some target to hate on. Hopefully they will learn to accept different opinions when they arent being manipulated by for-profit social media anymore.
Communities that go against hegemonic capitalist/imperialist discourse will always get marginalised. Not being able to take down those communities easily like on Reddit is a huge win by itself for Lemmy. The software offers a valuable savehaven for e.g ex r/chapotraphouse, r/genzedong etc.
Yep, the fact that Communists can build their own platform and networks free from any outside censorship on corporatized platforms is itself the strategy for building leftist spaces. The goal isn't hurt by more non-Communists being on the overall Lemmy platform because these non-Communists can't actually do much to shut the Communists out.
That's a good thing, as a Communist I'm happy we have spaces.
The anti-communist witch-hunters are extremely peeved that they can't remove our communities like they can on reddit. Overall it doesn't bother me because I don't work for them, and they can always go back to reddit where their views are already dominant.
Anyone trying to make the world a better place, will always be hated and hunted by some people; it's a fact of life, and the sooner we accept it, the better.
From my perspective we need better Mod and Admin tools. Forum software has a lot of them but Lemmy is lacking in this department.
The key important one is being able to move posts to different communities. You'll often get reports of posts not being appropriate for a community but there is no way to actually move it.
Do you plan to introduce some kind of post tags into Lemmy, preferably something that will behave like Hashtags on Mastodon and other activitypub platforms? I know that Lemmy has been embedding community name as a hashtag for a while now, though having tags that can be populated by users would help discovery greatly.
Lemmy is not for microblogging, so I dont think hashtags make sense.
Well they don't have to show up as hashtags to users on Lemmy, they can show up as their own designated tags you add to the post on creation of editing. Just some form of post tags to indicate the category of a post (could even be specific to communities like subreddit flairs) but they would show up as hashtags on Mastodon, similar to how Lemmy already embeds a hashtag of the community into posts.
Ah, post tags are currently work in progress. They are also going to be federated.
Do you plan on moving away from GitHub to something else like Forgejo?
Once its mature, I personally wouldn't be opposed to moving issue tracking off github and into a federated one like forgejo.
