With debate raging in the Fedi about Threads’ federation, I was having a discussion with another user about the recently implemented instance blocks. They pointed out that, blocking an instance simply hides their content from your feed but doesn’t prevent your posts from being sent to them. Firstly, is this correct? Is this...
was looking forward to the scaled sort but I’m not happy with the implementation, it looks too much like the new sort. In fact I’ve seen the exact same posts when sorting by new and scaled. I wish scaled sort was a more balanced version of top that gives more weight to small communities but not so much as to only show small...
I hope that this post doesn’t come across as impatient, or demanding – I fully understand that Lemmy is donation funded, and is created out of the benevolence of the devs. I am merely curious if any announcement has been made in regards to a specific ETA. I am certainly excited for its release, but I also completely...
So I’m developing a mobile client using React Native, where I’m utilizing Lemmy’s messaging functionality as well. This makes it extremely crucial to have notification support (including push notifications)....
On Reddit, when a comment is removed or deleted, it still shows up in the comment count. You will see an interesting post with comments, but when you open it you’ll see that it’s actually empty. This is probably done for shadowban reasons, like the vote fuzzing in the other post?...
When making a post on Lemmy, it automatically does searches for similar existing posts. On Reddit you often have the issue of people asking the same questions over and over, this feature should definitely help reduce that!
We can follow lemmy accounts from Mastodon but I was wondering if we can do it the other way round?...
For example, I’m interested in programming.dev. I want to see what communities they have and how their local posts look like. Therefore, I thought it would be a nice idea for there to be a button which you can press to just see posts from that instance. This would be the same as simply navigating to that instance’s homepage,...
tl;dr: to reduce federation api calls and to reduce issues with defederation, maybe some instances should only be for communities with no user signups, and some instances should be only for user signups with no communities (you would have to make a post or PM to request the admin to make a community for you)...
Disclaimer: I like the Fediverse, Lemmy, and the concept of federation, I’ve been here for two years, and I feel grateful towards people working on this platform - devs and admins and mods and everyone else. As such, I hope that what I’m voicing is interpreted as constructive criticism and food for discussion....
Makes me happy. It’s easy to have a good time here.
Only seen it the past hour or so but I’ve already set it as my default. It seems to work exactly as I’d hoped where smaller but no less interesting communities get their posts higher in my feed....
We are getting closer to the next major release. This version will have many breaking changes, so we are listing them here for app and client developers to adjust their projects....
Noticed I was logged out of lemmy.ml this morning. When I logged in, everything looked the same, but… “All” loaded instantly. Switching to “Subscribed” was just as fast. Post thumbnails came up as quickly as I could scroll....
That’s all I ask for 0.19.0
I love that folks use these archive.org links like this one here:...
Just sayin’
Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program....

I really like lemmy and have stopped using reddit months ago. My only real gripe with lemmy is the title: when a conversation gets going in the comment section, that gets killed when the post is deleted, for whatever reason. I can’t even go back to a conversation and have a look at the comment threads to “dwell in...
i tried creating accounts on lemmy.world and lemmy.tf but a error of captcha incorrect came up even though it was correct
