Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.
Partnered Communities:
Logo design credit goes to: tubbadu
show me reports I have made.
Back-up/failover instances for communities and users.
Every user and every admin of a community should be able to assign a failover instance in case the main instance goes down temporarily or permanently. All relevant data (posts, upvotes, settings, password hashes, mod log) would be permanently syched so you could just switch over in case of a downtime and most importantly, no content would be lost.
If you implement a feature to set the failover instance as your new main instance, that would also implicitly allow you to migrate users and communities elsewhere.
Show me a list of posts and comments I upvoted.
That works with Boost for Lemmy, so apparantly the data is already there in the backend (and at least one frontend).
Post title translations.
Being able to block link posts by host. It is the one of the reasons I use mbin more than lemmy.
Like, block/hide posts that go to specific domains? i.e hide any posts that link to Facebook?
(I develop a lemmy app and may be able to add that capability on the frontend)
Filter posts based on a keywords from the title/content.
Lemmy does pretty much everything I want from this medium of communication. Wishlist features would be:
- A better way of linking posts, I see that there is an extenstion that fixes this issue but it would be nice for new users if this was built in
- Account migrations
- Multi Communities
- A way to assign a #tag to a community. For example If I make c/MMA then I would want every post there to federate with the tag #MMA and every post tagged #MMA to show up in c/MMA
- A way of scheduling posts within lemmy.
- Maybe a little icon that shows where things are being posted from. So if I see a user with a mastodon showing up in the feed with a formatting mistake ill know why.
- An option to follow a thread so you can be notified of all new comments even when its not your thread.
- It would be nice for instances to have a monthly server cost that tracks donations. I couldnt find any examples except reddit but something like this sitting in the sidebar would help show users how much these stuff all costs. There could be one for instances and development cost goals.
Save post as draft
The ability to subscribe to another instances bans.
Multi-communities.
So you can create a list of communities over various instances and show all posts in them as if they were one.
This is the big one I want too. I'd love to curate topic based feeds from multiple communities so that other people could subscribe to a single coffee feed instead of 5-8 communities that they had to find themselves. I think this would be particularly useful for new people joining Lemmy, it would save a lot of time if they could just sub to a couple of multi's and start getting content they're interested in rather than needing to build their sub list entirely from scratch.
Block community in the 3 dots menu. No I don't know what that's called. I'm using firefox if that helps. I don't want an app thank you.
A setting for default sort order. Let's begin with the basics.
What? That's already in the settings.
Not for comments.
Some way of linking to a post somewhere on Lemmy that will open up the post in your logged in instance of Lemmy.
Photon does that, and so does Tesseract, but it only works if you're logged in since it relies on resolve object API call (which requires authentication)
Would upvote this suggestion more tan once, if I could.
Add technical depth by allowing communities to select a default "sort by most recent comment" like a forum. This is the key difference between ADHD content that focuses on time versus forums that focus on depth. Then find a way to integrate these deep threads into the Allfeed. Bridge the gap between forums with depth and PITA user names versus link aggregators with ADHD but recent info and broad scope.

(I think that's the official list.)
Being able to actually migrate an account, not just settings and follows etc but your post and comment history etc. All data
