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....
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....
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.
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....
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...
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....
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?...
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
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...
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’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 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’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!
