How are you?

Hello, would it be possible to include a button next to the up/down vote button, which marks a post as "read" and prevents it from being shown again? While scrolling I just sometimes see the same post again on the next day

We are seeing an influx of new users, but what's happening to older users? Are they still active? What's the average lifetime of Lemmy users nowadays? I'm kinda curious about the user retention in general

Who is your daddy and what does he do?

Random general question, how do you feel about file hosting? When posting, I tend to avoid uploading media larger than like, 5MB, just cause I know that the cost of storing said media can get exorbitant very quickly and I wouldn't want to be part of the burden.. I'm not able to donate just yet. Knowing this, I am currently on the fence on whether I should create a "gaming clips" community.

That said, it's nice to be able to embed media from other sources (despite it potentially not working natively for mobile platforms if I'm not mistaken?), which got me thinking: it'd be nice to have some sort of preference list of image/video hosting hosts that users can add to or remove from, and uploading directly from the comment/create post view would use the first working file hosting domain from the list.. Just spitballing here.

I think the greatest strength is that it is so compatible with other Threadyverse software like PieFed and Mbin. This brings a lot of freedom to the users.

I am new to Lemmy, so haven’t really looked into if the following is possible but can I create groups of communities with a similar topic across multiple instances?

When will anyone be able to click the following /c/books And see an agglomeration of all "books" communities on all federated server? I don't mean multireddits Thanks!!
