Is the constant scrolling/page updates being prioritized? I've recommended Lemmy to a few friends in the last weeks and every single one of them has mentioned the unintended scrolling making Lemmy unusable. It's less of a problem on mobile apps like Jerboa, but on desktop it's pretty painful.

How was your day?

Is there a way to see a list of servers my server is federated with?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Click the "Instances" link at the bottom of any page.

What's a challenge you solved that you were really proud of?

[–] Spacebar 1 points 1 year ago

Would user flair be possible to implement in the future? Not the highest priority, but I am curious if it's possible in a federated environment?

Are there any features that are not practical in a federated environment that are more common in a legacy single provider environment?

[–] snek 1 points 1 year ago

Having to select a language for each single post is a bit tedious, especially for communities intended to use only English.

Is this a feature you want to keep? And what happens to posts with multiple languages in the text? Many could also accidentally select "Undetermined" and become unreadable.

Why /c/? Just curious. /t/ Would have made more sense to me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

What is the reasoning for /t/ ?

That makes perfect sense, sorry to waste your time.

Hey I have a couple of questions if you don't mind.

For starters I wanna thank the devs for such a cool place you guys created. This has so much potential to be the next big thing out there.

Anyhow, I wanted to know the following: How can I DM someone in lemmy? I know Lemmy is piracy friendly but since I run a filesharing /c/ how cautious should I be?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 years ago

There isn't any private messaging or group messaging yet, that's in the works.

Lemmy will always be friendly to file-sharing, no need to be cautious. If this instance ever picks up, I'll move the hosting somewhere safer, but the data will always be good.

Do you already have a plan how federation is going to work? For example, how will forums be federated between instances? And will eg Mastodon users be able to follow a forum?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 years ago

I have the API written out here. The forums are considered groups in activitypub lingo, im not sure if mastodon supports following them. But thats the main federation ability, to be able to follow communities on other instances.

How do you make someone a mod before they make a post?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 years ago

They have to comment first, actions on users are done on their comment.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver 0 points 1 year ago

Yo, have y'all survived?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 years ago (1 children)

Search is coming along nicely, it's fast and relevant, but it would be nice to see the actual community the comment result is is coming from too (it shows the community for posts but not comment search results). Would be good for context.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 years ago

I'll have to think of a way to do this.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 years ago (1 children)

It is possible to add Lemmy as part of another site?

You can host it over there, but there's no actual embedding. The install instructions are here
