What are your complaints about Lemmy? Developers may want your feedback

Please post one top-level comment per complaint. Then others can reply with ideas or existing GitHub issues that could address that complaint. This helps identify both common complaints and potential solutions.

You can also reply on !polls to better organize the discussion:

I believe there are a large number of feature requests on Lemmy’s GitHub page, making it difficult for developers to prioritize what’s truly important. I propose creating a quarterly pinned post on Lemmy asking users for complaints and suggestions. This way, developers can better understand the community’s biggest pain points and what to focus on. The goal is to provide constructive feedback so developers can prioritize the most pressing issues.

Please keep discussion productive and focused on specific problems. Avoid vague complaints or feature wishes without justification. Our aim is to give developers clear insights into issues impacting users most.

onlinepersona,

Meta: Github has a reaction feature. Issues and feature requests can be sorted by those.

IMO, the devs could pin that information and anybody interested enough that has a github account can react and the devs could see what the community wants. There wouldn’t be a need for a recurring thread.

    onlinepersona,

    It’s harder to find though. If the threads were on the README or there were an option in the admin panel to add a “feedback” button that takes you to the newest thread, it might be better. I found this thread by pure chance.

    Another, with regards to inbox and user replies. My inbox count will not refresh unless I refresh the entire page. Navigation should update the notification badge. Replies need to be manually marked as read. On Reddit, one could simply click the reply and it would be marked as read, much like an email. This might be a good thing to implement.

    mister_monster,

    Single community mode.

    So with federation, each server being able to host an arbitrary number of communities can be a bit much. It makes sense for a site like reddit where it’s just one site. But for a network of sites, hosting multiple communities is really a niche thing, but people do it because why not? The feature is there. But most people spin up a server for a single community and the communities on that server become dead, save for a couple of bigger sites. Having and making known the ability for an admin to spin up a Lemmy instance that’s just one community makes a lot of sense. The server I’m currently using for example is for a diaspora from a single subreddit. Sites like that only really need a single community on them.

    What would be different about “single community mode”?

    mister_monster,

    That your local feed is one community, that users can’t create any communities, that the landing page for the server is like HN or some other single community link aggregator site.

    hamid,

    My biggest complaint is that people drive by downvote my niche community. No one even cares lol its just so sad and pathetic.
