What Is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

What are your thoughts on blocking AI scraper access? Any attempts to improve that on the side of Lemmy? Basic things like allowing to customize the robots.txt easily would already help.

I also recently tried this new AI block tool called Anubis with Lemmy, but for some reason it fails with Lemmy-ui. Might be interesting to investigate further.

Some Lemmy clients offer the option to auto-hide posts and comments which contain certain keywords of the choice of the user. Are there any plans to implement this feature into the stock Lemmy experience?

I know it is possible to do some hacky stuff with UblockOrigin to do the same, but that is not something most know about and are willing to do.

Communities should be more unified across servers, especially for niche ones. I want to see an active Metroid community, I don't give a crap what instance is hosting it (or if it's a mostly-opaque medley of instances) so long as I'm federated with it. This is probably the biggest UX misunderstanding new users have.

What have been the biggest challenges with the project over the years, both in terms of technical and non technical aspects. I'd be interesting to hear a bit of retrospective on how has the stack's been working out, and what surprises you might've run into in terms of scaling and federation. What recommendations you'd make based on that and what you would've done differently knowing what you know now.

Hi, I think that Lemmy is great thank you for your hard work

I actually think that given the ads and other distorsions, and thanks to federation, Lemmy is overall actually better than reddit!

Some features I miss are:

• tags
• direct messages outside Lemmy (even if not encrypted)
• better rendering of posts on mastodon (something beyond the title only). Not sure what side is responsible for this, tho!

Keep up the good work guys!

How are you?

Just wanted to say I LOVE lemmy! It's a really positive community, the atmosphere is great and I like how it's unique but also familiar. I really appreciate your work on it. I know this is AMA... what's your favourite animal?

Old user, haven't been active recently. Where'd all this growth come from?? Another reddit refugee situation?

1. What is your opinion on Bluesky being more popular than Mastodone because it is easier for most?

2. Will Lemmy can become easy like Bluesky? Are there plans like that?

thanks

edit: lemmy dev replies only please

Some companies use Reddit as their main forum or an established way to communicate with customers. Are there any companies that have explored Lemmy and have their community yet?
