  • Is there still no way to attach an image/photo group album collection or slideshow on the post header, and if it's being worked on, where can I follow the development?

    Jump

  • You can already just use the URL / link field to link to that album, and also choose a custom image if you like.

    You can also just use the post markdown body to post a lot of pictures also.

  • [proposal] a better content-recommendation system

    Jump

  • No they don't use sql views, they're built using an in query (which we still have to see how performant that'll be, and is pretty much the same problem as subscribed communities, needing to sort and filter based off joined data)

    You can see them in action here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/3521

  • Multi-communities are already completed in the back-end, and front end will be done shortly.

  • Community post tags will be in 1.0 . The back end is done, and the front end is in my list of next 10 or so things to do.

  • To respond to some of these:

    Lack of granular privacy / profile control

    Fair, but also lemmy isn't trying to be a facebook-style social network, but a reddit alternative. So the main action isn't really following people, but following communities. GNU social and others probably do granularity and limited sharing better.

    Poor content discovery / lack of niche communities / limited diversity

    There are a few external tools to help with this, but @Nutomic also built in a feature for new instances to pull various popular communities, that will be in lemmy 1.0 . This should help with some content and communities being on new instances.

    Fragmentation across instances / duplication of communities

    This is a feature, not a bug. Many communities run by different people, with different userbases, is a good thing. !news@startrek.com is going to be different from !news@starwars.com and !news@ghana.com

    Bad User Experience (UX) / usability issues

    There are like 10 different open source apps for lemmy, on every platform, with completely different UIs and experiences. This is a far better ecosystem than anything else I can think of (especially reddit), and if someone has problems with UIs on any of them, they can contribute.

    Performance / reliability / scaling problems

    Will always be an issue that needs work, but lemmy has scaled up to support ~40k active monthly users without too many issues. Most of our problems are database, not network related. Both problems can be solved solely by development resources.

    Moderation, safety tools, and content-quality issues

    Mods can remove all content at the click of a button, and users can report items. I'd need specifics on other things that are missing.

    Search and archive weak/incomplete

    Would need more specifics here, but we have a lot of search filters and capabilities.

    Over-representation of particular content types (US-news, memes, agenda posts) and low content-quality

    Somewhat unavoidable on anglo-net, and especially when people are drawing in large numbers of users from reddit, which suffers from that above. Also there are some servers that do no moderation on US content, and let it overrun every single community. Here we try to keep it on /c/usa unless it affects the greater world, and we also try to remove low-quality drumpf says type-memes that overrun reddit.

  • Increased Spam on Lemmy Recently

    Jump

  • Some servers don't seem to be doing any vetting, allowing a lot of repost accounts, bot accounts, and karma farmers (even though we don't show karma in lemmy).

    All we can do is report those accounts, block them, and if the servers keep allowing spammers, then block those servers.

  • How can I view the comments/posts I downvoted?

  • I just tested this, and it's not a bug, except for the decimals (open up an issue on lemmy-ui github about that).

    It only shows the upvote percentage when there are downvotes. Otherwise, you can assume it's 100%.

  • Bit concerned about the view votes option now available.

    Jump

  • Entirely up to you.

    For larger communities, its a must, since people entities use no-content accounts or bot accounts to mass up or downvote content.

  • How much Lemmy data can we find?

    Jump

  • We have active users per day (and other time frames), for site and every community.

  • Bit concerned about the view votes option now available.

    Jump

  • You can read the github comments on this question

    Long story short: The overwhelming consensus is that ppl prefer their votes to be private, but to avoid targeted vote manipulation (which is pretty common now unfortunately), votes in lemmy are semi-private: only visible to admins and mods, but not to the majority of users.

  • Where are you seeing this? Sorting communities by active users monthly is the default everywhere, including on the /communities page.

  • Comment vote not on lemvotes

    Jump

  • We don't allow lemvotes here, as it's vote snooping spyware. Lemmy users have overwhelmingly said they'd prefer their votes to be private. Currently only admins and mods can see them.

  • Yes, these would be in clearly marked, distinct sections, so its clear what community they were cross-posted to.

  • I could see a user setting for this being a good idea. With a default being whatever the consensus ends up being.

  • Its not really combining post comments. It would just be displaying cross post comments in different sections at the bottom.
