Allow multiple groups per post (use them like tags). This would have some interesting implications regarding moderation and the handling of replies to the said post.
Having multiple identical posts in different groups with distributed replies doesn’t feel ideal to me.

I think this is actually a feature. You’re essentially trying to centralize communities, but communities are decentralised just like instances.
Why do we have multiple Technology communities? Because some people might like the mods or the rules in the other community better or maybe you can’t even access one of the communities because your instance is defederated from the instance with that community.
Just as one admin doesn’t have monopoly on the Fediverse, no mod has monopoly on a community.
Multiple communities is a feature, not a bug.
I proposed an extension of the feature set. The current behaviour is still possible. You can use the added feature but you don’t have to.
The issue for me: The current landscape in lemmy has a lot of sparsely filled groups - I do not browse by group (filter by subscribed or all and sorted by new or hot).
In this view multiple identical posts with distributed replies are shown. This adds redundancy in the comments and reduces clarity.Edit: The idea rises the question, how the ownership (or relation) of a post to the group and its replies should be handled. Using an x-post-like approach is just one idea.
Users that want to talk about tv shows that I watch and more places to do so
Me too. And I know @pseudo@[email protected] as well
I do. I go to the twittoverse to hear about asian-drama but that a bubble that don’t discuss other type of tv: american show, turkish soap, telenovela, … we could so many community.
The steam engine.
Brainstorm phase, go:
What if instead of boiling steam we utilise the combustion of some sort of liquid coal to move the pistons?
Excellent. Now let’s compile all these ideas and pick the best one to move forward on.
Moderation tools. They need to drop literally everything else they are working on and build robust moderation tools for community owners. Nothing else matters more than this.
Could you link to the issues in the lemmy issue tracker, so I can know which ones you’re referring to?
Not a technical thing, but…
Better user interactions. I know not everyone came from reddit, but there are so many reddit-like interactions across Lemmy. I’m talking about not assuming good faith and jumping down people’s throats. Low-effort comments (I’m guilty of this, too). The need to always be right and continue arguing for no reason.
It was tiring to see this on reddit over the years. But it’s sad to see how much of that behavior has made its way to Lemmy.
With federation, however, there’s not really a good way to solve this, since each instance, including self-hosted instances, determines their own moderation and “culture.” But it would be something I’d like to see improved, even i we each have to do it ourselves.
On the technical side, absolutely mod tools. It’s stunning how bad they are here. And I’m coming from reddit, where tools were poor.
On the mobile website when I tap the link into a post, read it and then hit the back button, I often end up on the page before the one I clicked into the link from, so like, I have to scroll to the bottom of the page and hit next and scroll down again to see the same link I originally clicked. Sometimes when this happens the “subscribed/local/all” and “new/hot/controversial” dialogs are reset as well and I’ve lost my spot in the feed entirely.
This doesn’t emulate the presumed intended functionality of reddit feeds where if you hit back you are at the exact spot in the feed where you clicked the original link.
Remove the ability to post images
More filters like the NSFW filter. “U.S. Politics” and “Elon Musk” filters would be nice
YES
Basically this: https://github.com/LemmyNet/rfcs/pull/4
Sometimes when I’ve found new communities on non local instances I’m unable to subscribe directly and I get a screen where it asks me what instance I’m subscribing from and when I click the only suggestion “lemmy.world” it doesn’t recognize it as valid. I know you can subscribe to these communities in distant instances by using the local search bar with an exclamation point in front of it but it’s a convoluted process and could be streamlined.
Yeah the whole searching for other instances is painful 😣
Another thing I just ran into, if I’m linked to the on-instance version of a thread on an instance other than my home, it says I need to log in or register to comment. How do I switch to the version of that same post as seen from my home instance? I wouldn’t need to register a separate account because I see a lot of off-instance posts on my home feed. Perplexing.
Guessing fixing child porn propagation isn’t the highest priority?
Make it easier for server admins to connect/link to the child porn hash databases, scripts for autobans + deletion of any content, flagging + notify to other servers etc.
This should actually be #1. Last thing I want for the fediverse is for it to become a CP haven because we lack proper moderation. I recently received an amazing presentation on the issue of CP distribution from a seasoned officer, and CP is a genuine and dangerous issue. Go look up what sextortion is.
In-line translation features for non-English communities (in my case) would be very helpful and would exceed Reddit functionality, which is something I think Lemmy should strive toward
This should really be implemented at either the browser or lemmy-ui/app level, not in the back end.
Integration with DeepL API like Misskey would be cool!
While we are speaking of it, please let users choose between languages (original and target) independently of system locale.
Sometimes I encounter social media posts auto translated (probably through Google translate) but languages detection is messed up. And the best part is there isn’t a menu to choose.
Yes this would be amazing!
There NEEDS to be an account migration option, with not only settings but also my saved posts and comments, own posts and comments etc. If not possible, at least allow an export in the style of a gddpr dump from the likes of facebook etc. to allow import at a later time when implemented.
My instance is shutting down at the end of the month (~500 users) and there is no good way to export my data. I would not be surprised if some of the 500 get frustrated and stop with lemmy.
You mean like Mastodon ?
Also not resolved https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/12423
Speaking of which, a mechanism to manage posts from instances your account has previously migrated away from.
Migrating posts and comments is not possible with activitypub, as that would be rewriting history. But you could open up an issue for a user data only export, as that wouldn’t be too difficult to do.
Thanks for your reply! I looked into it and #3976 seems to be pretty much that because the “import” part of it was shot down.
I could create an issue for specifically gdpr style exports tho.
That’d be good, thx.
Cross instance post/comment deletion.
Sometimes I just don’t want my comments to live forever and deleting shouldn’t be impossible.
deleted by creator
I don’t know, man, your comments are works of art.
Nah, not mine, piss takes and sarcasm mostly.
Exactly. [chef’s kiss]
Sometimes I just don’t want my comments to live forever and deleting shouldn’t be impossible.
Due to the nature of the Fediverse, this will be very difficult if not impossible to implement/enforce.
detection
You meant deletion? This is already implemented about as well as it can be.
The fediverse is not set up for that. Everything is public and could be saved by an instance admin
Being able to block entire instances from your feed, without defederating.
You can, since a couple versions ago.
Either my instance updated recently, or I didn’t notice it at the bottom of the block page. So useful thank you!!! No more lemmynsfw spam!
An option to view all comments from crossposts when browsing a post. It’s annoying how you can see a post that’s been crossposted 5 times and wonder where the comments are.
Oh hey, I had no idea ernest was back. Great to have him back.
Yeah we heard from him recently. Hopefully his health is good now.
