lemmy

I’m hoping to start a dialogue about the current use of descriptive community names, usernames, lack of semantic URLs, and other usability issues on the Lemmy platform. I say dialogue because I am new to Lemmy and I can appreciate that some things may be done differently here for specific reasons....

We’re about to enter another Reddit mass migration phase starting tonight. We’ve already attracted the users most actively engaged with the protests and Reddit’s changes—users who are driven enough to put in the effort to grow the Fediverse....

Image shows lemmy-ui’s development pace over last year. Impressive! Great job everybody!

maybe someone could make a merge request in the repository so they could be added to the list, because there are a lot of apps being developed alongside mlem and jerboa, also wefwef.app is an interesting looking webapp for lemmy as an alternate interface? would it count as that? apparently it’s supposed to look like apollo

Hello, when I search in the search bar for some words, the results are not fully related. For example, if I filter it by Posts or Comments, the results are still inaccurate.

I have had reservations about balancing scores across communities based on the number of users, as it may dilute the uniqueness and individual themes of each instance. However, upon further consideration, I have noticed that smaller instances are underrepresented on the main feed. This has prompted me to reconsider the approach...

I’m reaching out to the community to gather your thoughts and suggestions on how we can enhance Lemmy’s search functionality, as discussed in Issue #846. Currently, the search options (new or top of a specific time) do not consistently deliver relevant or useful results, which creates difficulties for users trying to find...

I’ve been using Lemmy for almost a week and I’m loving it. But some aspects are still a bit obscure to me. For instance : I have my account on lemmy.ml. I used browse.feddit.de to find some communities. I want to subscribe to reddthat.com/c/rts....

Well I never had spam issues, until 0.18 forced captchas to be disabled. Thankfully the bots just seem to be signing up, not doing much yet. Using fake emails that never get verified....

This platform could be a viable alternative for forums (cuz we know in which state they currently are), but the lack of general attachments (any mime/file type) is what I believe stands in the way. I have an electronics forum I run (a local one, nothing too serious) and I believe Lemmy can make it more intereactive (not die out)...

Memmy is an early fave (posting from it now) but it reminds me so much of the Dec-Feb app development days for Mastodon. So many fun options to try out!

in the process of deleting every comment of my lemmy.world account, and permanently joining some instance that does not censor stuff

Today, a bunch of new instances appeared in the top of the user count list. It appears that these instances are all being bombarded by bot sign-ups....

If you still have a reddit account, please hop in the reddit comments to show support....

The GitHub repo that provides a comparison table of different lemmy instances now includes the version of lemmy that’s installed...

I’ve been so used to judging a post just by its popularity on reddit, but it’s actually so much more useful to have an idea of the downvote ratio. I’m glad we have that here....

If you’re a Lemmy dev and reading this, the problem is in pict-rs. I have sent an email to asonix with the needed changes, please tell them to check their inbox (since I can’t register on their git server, I can’t submit a formal PR)....

Hey there, I wanted to join some communities in the programming.dev instance, but it doesn’t seem to be connected to any other instance (I can’t see it from my account’s instance and its community list also only has its own communities). The signup form also freezes if I try to make an account on the instance directly. Am...

I wrote a guide to help users with their migration to Lemmy...
