Want to change my domain name.
Hey everyone, I am looking to change the domain name of my self hosted instance and had a question....
[Closed] [Feature Request] Community flag
I wonder if there is or will be a functionally providing the possibility to “hide” communities for a user? For instance I am not a soccer fan. So hiding communities with particular soccer teams as topic would be great. Later maybe I am interested so “unhiding” would be the other way around....
Guide: Hide your Lemmy instance from search engines
Due to the nature of the default robots.txt and the meta tags in Lemmy, search engines will index even non-local communities. This leads to results that are undesirable, such as unrelated/undesirable content being associated with your instance....
Any way to get an RSS feed with the latest comments of a community?
It would help a lot to speed up moderation if there was a way to have an RSS feed with the latest comments of a given community.
Hide deleted posts?
Is there some way to hide deleted posts? When someone spams a bunch of posts and then they get deleted the post is still there taking up space. It would be nice if there was a setting to hide such posts or have them minimized in some way until you expand them.

line-height too small in the compact themes? ( lemmy.world )
The line-height might have to be increased a little bit in the post listing as we can see in the screenshot that lines are currently slightly overlapping? It seems to be fine in the comments however....
Does federation need a rethink?
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...

Community/User display names, clean URLs and other usability concerns
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....
Let’s fill Kbin/Lemmy with content to attract and KEEP new users
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....
So are we going to end up getting scraped by YouTube content farms?
So you’ve all see videos from channels like Emkay and Updoot Studios or the like right? The ones that shamelessly steal Reddit content and reads it, no attribution or linkback to the original, all while making fuck-you levels of ad revenue?...
`lemmy-ui` development pace over last year ( lemmy.ml )
Image shows lemmy-ui’s development pace over last year. Impressive! Great job everybody!
could it be possible for more apps and web interfaces (like wefwef.app) be added to the join-lemmy.org website?
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
Please add "block community" to post entries on front page
The two top entries on lemmy.world sorted by hot as of a few minutes ago were a porn link on a porn community (nothing against porn per se, but I don’t want to see it on the front page) and a bot post to some kind of bot link community. I see the “block user” button but I don’t particularly care to see anything from...
Search Not Giving Expected Results
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.

Request for Comments: Balance Scores Based on Monthly Active Users (Issue #1026) ( github.com )
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...
Request for Comments: Enhancing Lemmy's Search Functionality (Issue #846) ( github.com )
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 like the idea of defederation, but conflicted about it's use in practice..
I am still playing around with Lemmy like I am sure a lot of people are. I have accounts on multiple instances to see how things are and what not....

How to easily subscribe to communities from other instances.
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....
Lemmy needs an instance-aware way to link to communities (and posts and comments)
Hi all,...
