  • Like I said you're welcome to make pull requests. Lemmy is not a corporation employing multiple designers, but an open source project run by volunteers. So if you want to see something done, it's best to do it yourself.

  • Who gets to decide which instances match that description? Everyone will come up with a slightly different list.

  • You're welcome to improve the text. That said the site is in large part aimed at instance admins and technical people. For normal users it's better to link them directly to a specific instance.

  • Happy to see that the Peertube embed is working now (Lemmy 0.19.9)

  • Decentralised social media offers an alternative to big tech platforms like X and Meta. How does it work? Podcast

  • You guys had very bad luck with the database, but other instances didn't have such problems.

  • Exactly it seems most people here still didn't realize that this is an open source project run by volunteers, not a corporation with countless employees and a profit motive. If people want something to get done then it's best they start doing it themselves.

  • Lemmy.world is excluded because it represents more than 30% of all active Lemmy users, thats too much. And yes the list is somewhat randomized so that you get different instances at the top each time. You could store the order in a cookie to keep it consistent for each user. And you are welcome to improve all this.

  • A/B testing is not really possible in a decentralized system like this, it would require all instance admins to collaborate for collecting results, and would make deployment much more complicated. Not to forget that there simply arent enough development resources to implement it. That said if you see anything that can be improved, you're welcome to make a pull request. Its standard Typescript wit TailwindCSS and Inferno, nothing complicated.

  • Thats funny, Im also 32 and completely happy with the default Lemmy UI. Definitely wouldnt use something like new Reddit. But the good thing is that there are so many different choices, and its possible to create instances with a different default UI.

  • By the way, you can have Markdown in Lemmy post titles

    Jump

  • The Lemmy backend doesnt treat this field as markdown, if you look at the Activitypub data (curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" https://lemmy.world/post/24241974 | jq) the title is federated as plaintext. Only lemmy-ui decides to render it as markdown for some reason.

  • You can get the raw article text from fandom by clicking the edit button. Then you need to convert it from wikitext to markdown, there are various tools for that. Finally post it on Ibis. Fandom also has an API, so you could write a script to automate all this.

  • Not sure really.

  • If there are still problems you should open a new issue. We cant leave issues open forever because they go stale and dont account for new features. By the way we are planning to implement multi-communities.

  • Hot Take: Lemmy communities should function similar to hashtags on Mastodon.
