I’d like to invite you all to share your thoughts and ideas about Lemmy. This feedback thread is a great place to do that, as it allows for easier discussions than Github thanks to the tree-like comment structure. This is also where the community is at.
Here’s how you can participate:
- Post one top-level comment per complaint or suggestion about Lemmy.
- Reply to comments with your own ideas or links to Github issues related to the complaints.
- Be specific and constructive. Avoid vague wishes and focus on specific issues that can be fixed.
- This thread is a chance for us to not only identify the biggest pain points but also work together to find the best solutions.
By creating this periodic post, we can:
- Track progress on issues raised in previous threads.
- See how many issues have been resolved over time.
- Gauge whether the developers are responsive to user feedback.
Your input may be valuable in helping prioritize development efforts and ensuring that Lemmy continues to meet the needs of its community. Let’s work together to make Lemmy even better!
This post is about Lemmy however.
Holy crap am I glad someone piped up.
You know how much I don’t care about Toyota when I’m talking about Hyundai? You know much I really don’t care about piefed’s features when this is not about piefed?
Thank you.
I agree. And while it is amazing the features that rimu has added to piefed, I personally really like Sopuli, and its admin team. I do have a piefed account, and I use it. But Sopuli, and thereby lemmy, is my main instance.
yea, but if Lemmy never adds a feature you really want, maybe we just switch to PieFed lol
the Lemmy devs are very much against merged comments
and they haven’t even seemed to notice this thread yet (Rimu did though!) and just closed a ton of issues as “won’t fix”, meanwhile Rimu responded in a similar thread for PieFed within 2 hours of it being posted https://piefed.social/comment/7335468
although Lemmy does show crossposts already and v1.0 will have multi-communities
For good reason perhaps? It merges distinct communities together, making communities less distinct. Different communities can have different moderation and participation standards and norms. Merging them I feel is a bad idea.
merging them completely is bad yes, but the way PieFed does it is nice, they have separate headers for the comments from each community
I personally still feel like this brings the communities too close.
I could see it causing clashes for very specific communities, maybe those could be manually disabled cause I can only think of very few
