I'd like to invite you all to share your thoughts and ideas about Lemmy. This feedback thread is a great place to do that, as it allows for easier discussions than Github thanks to the tree-like comment structure. This is also where the community is at.

Here's how you can participate:

  • Post one top-level comment per complaint or suggestion about Lemmy.
  • Reply to comments with your own ideas or links to Github issues related to the complaints.
  • Be specific and constructive. Avoid vague wishes and focus on specific issues that can be fixed.
  • This thread is a chance for us to not only identify the biggest pain points but also work together to find the best solutions.

By creating this periodic post, we can:

  • Track progress on issues raised in previous threads.
  • See how many issues have been resolved over time.
  • Gauge whether the developers are responsive to user feedback.

Your input may be valuable in helping prioritize development efforts and ensuring that Lemmy continues to meet the needs of its community. Let's work together to make Lemmy even better!

Suggestion: Easy account migration between instances

Imagine you register to Lemmy.world, but realize you're missing half the content because it comes from Hexbear or Lemmygrad users. Migrating to Lemmy.ml is a solution for this

Most people want to block those instances, not access them.

We are currently missing the ability to report user accounts.

Would love to have more freedom with relation to reply notifications. Such as muting a comment or a post.

I believe there’s been github issues opened and closed for atleast the past year but it seems to not be a priority for the devs. If I had the disposible income to put a bounty on the feature I’d pay for it but well I’m poor as heck.

Seems like there's basically no effort to address disinformation. I love the idea of the fediverse, but I've never told a single person I use it in well over a year because I'd be embarrassed if they ever visited and saw some of the content that gets upvoted here.

Automatic OCR and filtering based on content in an image.

The decentralized nature of Lemmy, while appealing in theory, creates significant frustration in practice due to widespread instance blocking. Finding an ideal instance becomes a daunting task, as users must navigate a complex web of inter-instance politics and restrictions. This challenge is further compounded for those who prioritize factors like low latency or specific content policies. Lemmy's architecture heavily favors instance-level configurations, leaving individual users with limited control over their experience. The only reliable solutions seem to be either hosting a personal instance—a technical hurdle for many—or simply hoping that your chosen instance's admins align with your preferences and don't block communities you enjoy. This politicking ultimately undermines the platform's potential.

It seems when a user is blocked and comments on a thread, any comments under that are also blocked. It should only be blocking that user, not the thread?

[–] infeeeee@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It would be hard to get the context, and you could totally misunderstood the thread, e.g. from your hidden comment everyone get that replies are sarcastic, but you don't.

Maybe an "temporarily unhide blocked user's comment and replies" button to show the whole thread.

lemmy-ui: Highlighting some words blindly in inline code is really annoying. For example,

  • systemctl --user cat emacs
  • pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect
