I’m wondering if there’s any progress on the private communities front? Or any way it could be helped? At some point there was a suggestion that a user story of how it should work would be helpful - is that still the case?...
As it stands right now, individual mods have way too much power to fuck up the platform by banning people for political reasons and the modlog is not even remotely adequate in providing a full story on such actions. This isn’t too big of an issue now, but as certain instances have proven, it has the potential to become a...
About 10 months ago I posted this thread saying that it would be useful for the fediverse to consider post once, share everywhere paradigms: lemmy.ml/post/641509...
Right now Lemmy is unusable for writing code that contains less than/greater than signs because Lemmy’s sanitizer treats that as potentially malicious HTML code....
Basically what the title says, while the page is loading sometimes I will see someone else’s username and pfp in the top left corner before it switches to my own when the page finishes loading. I have seen this happen twice now....

I like being subscribed to the largest Technology community, but also I am subscribed to the Movies and TV community. One is more active with posts...
I deleted them at about the same time, both on different instances. One is empty, from perspective of my new instance, but the other one shows all the posts. What am I supposed to do? I share some of my personal stuff online as means of venting so I can possibly reflect through unbiased responses from strangers and I’m...
I think the way federation currently works spells doom for the fediverse, should any service of it get major traction. Currently, if you subscribe to a community on Lemmy or follow a user on Mastodon, your instance will pull the content of that instance/user and make it available for all to see and interact with. What seems like...
If the reddit exodus happens and Lemmy gets even 2% of reddit’s daily active users, how will Lemmy sustain the increased traffic? I know donations are an option, but I don’t think long term donations will be sustainable. Most users will never donate....
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!
