It would be nice if the RSS feeds were advertised. For example if I browse https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy I wouldn’t know there was an RSS feed until I find and click the little RSS icon.

If a <link> to the RSS feed was provided my browser extension would light up and I can subscript just by putting the community URL into my reader instead of having to spot the RSS button on the page.

Human readable URLs! The URL is a very important part of a site’s user interface, and lemmy’s URLs currently just have a post number - there is no title, or even the name of the sub-community. Compare this to reddit: when I paste a friend a reddit URL in chat they get two hints about what it is about: the subreddit name, and the post’s title, both embedded in the URL itself. This lets them decide if they want to click it now, or later, or never, or to recognize if they’ve already seen it. Lemmy links should be like that.

Is there a way to block instances locally per account? Like on mastodon where I can block a huge list of instances: If I block an instance I wouldnt see content/comments originated from those.

An option to block someone from commenting in your community to avoid trolling.

Entrance only if followed or based on specific levels…

• Needs x amount of months membership on Lemmy to comment.
• Needs x amount of comments or and post submissions.

This would also help fighting spam and trolls with alt-accounts to create an account, troll-up here, down-vote everything + shit-post. Since you could restrict voting as well with the idea.

shame on me, I just discovered other communities in Lemmy. O_o I was astonished to only see stuff related to linux and opensource.

I’d like to block/hide certain communities from the “all” view. That way I can browse posts that I’m not subscribed to, but skip stuff I know I’ll never care about.

In the raw install docs I would like:

• OpenRC or SysVInit service examples
• Apache HTTPD configuration example
• Adapt the Certbot script as it is being ran as a general distribution when the fact is that Debian-based distros already provide Nginx and Apache HTTPD plugins (which makes it easy to configure through the TUI) and it is being ran as a cronjob by default at /etc/cron.d/certbot

1/ endless scroll rather than next/next/next

2/ that default view for communities be “top - all times” instead of “top - day” which in most cases makes believe that communities are empty and inactive. maybe that setting can evolve when Lemmy/an instance becomes more popular, but right now it is shooting itself in the foot with that view…

Include a Replies Collection via Page json, so that Mastodon & other #ActivityPub software can know about all the replies each Lemmy post has

Federate removing Spam. If a User gets banned and its content removed from the instance the user is registered, the user and its content should be removed from federating instances too.

I kind of wish that when I respond to a comment in my inbox, that it doesn’t just disappear after I submit it. I usually want to click the context button after I respond. It’s just a little pet peeve and not really much of an issue, but I digress.

Federation.

REPOST!!!11

1. How can we make the federated Lemmy more seamless? The in message community mentioning syntax, for instance, could use refinement
2. How can we support different languages better?
3. Is it possible to avoid the space for radicles that comes with federated platforms while still maintaining the values that a federation stands for?
4. Working out minor quirks that lower trust, like the 502 page when logging out, randomly being logged out until you reload, no css occasionally, and the free .ml [[domain]] for the flagship instance

Than, how can we attract users, specifically from different countries?

The first thing that comes to mind before advertising is attracting other communities from Reddit, but why would they come? Voat attracted members because the alt right was unwelcome on reddit, but most communities dont find a huge need to switch, even if they feel things could be better. The one exception is the privacy/Foss community, but it’s a small one and perhaps not the best Target audience, let alone one of many nationalities.

If the above paragraph was somehow an attraction plan despite no internationality, some more issues would need to be ironed out:

1. can we offer reddit import?
2. can we make a compelling offer for everyone
3. can we have an attractive landing page

In line with 3, I think at some point some branding consideration is needed, ie

Lemmy: a world for everyone

With an illustration of stuff being shipped between different planets, one covered in flowers, another in factories and tech, and one more with ???

As an idea.

I am interested in your strategy ideas for growth. While I am rambling, worth noting that a democracy system is my long term dream, although far off in the pipeline

Improvements on federation with Mastodon, etc. Right now posts on Mastodon have as author the user post, nor the community (but you are following lemmy communities, not users, because it is not possible follow users). So, when any Mastodon user want to follow these “new source” and follow the user of the tooth, nothing happens. And he is unable to follow the community! A furst workarround should be add a bottom line on the tooth like "follow this community at community_name@lemmy_instance.tdl "

Internationalization, i18n (not just l10n, localization). So, you can create communities only visible on a specific language, etc.
