I don't think the chosen language should matter that much, I'm just worried about the fragmentation of the contributors

duplicated work that could've just been done together, or as 3rd party tools that link to the base Lemmy database/API, or plugins/extensions eventually

Yeah we actually have a pretty good number of posts and votes but not enough comments in them usually

I guess because people post about the niche they're interested in, but there aren't enough people to always find many others interested in it too

Also the moderation tools could've been Java and connect to the Lemmy database/API (maybe with some pull requests to add to Lemmy's API), which to me sounds a lot better than saying fuck it and rewriting everything, it could've lived in its own repo anyways

I believe there are a large number of feature requests on Lemmy’s GitHub page, making it difficult for developers to prioritize what’s truly important to users.

Btw GitHub allows you to sort issues by number of thumbs ups, and I believe the devs use this

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc

I guess, but I don't really want to contribute to the centralization all on the biggest instance

I haven't tried matrix yet. What's a good instance I can create my community on and bridge with my discord? For gaming communities.

would be nice if the communities page could show the date of the most recent post or something

but I guess anything with 0 users per month is obviously dead, unless it's like an infrequently used announcements community

Did you try these searches while logged in or anonymously? Lemmy (and probably other platforms) don't allow searches for remote objects unless you're logged in, this prevents abuse of server resources. The fact that you're getting replies and you can see them and reply to them means it's probably all working fine.

I do think there could be some features added to help avoid full defederation. Like if instance admins could set a default list of banned instances, and the users could choose to unban those instances for themselves. Of course defederation could still be necessary sometimes like for illegal content, software bugs, or malicious attacks.

that's how it always goes, people wanna complain in the comments so they pretend it's the worst problem in the world, then you ask them to spend $1 to fund development and fix it in the software they use every day and you get nothing lol

@einat2346@lemmy.today actually dbzer0 doesn't have access to your IP address, only lemmy.today sees it

for everyone else it's the instance that your account lives on

the Mastodon user has to do an @ tag for the community in their toot, so if @community@instance.com is in their toot then it'll show up on that Lemmy community
