Wish we could have the fediverse of instant messaging.
Fediverse instant messaging could work like email, just like how someone with gmail id can send mail to yahoo id.
username@whatsapp sending messages to username@telegram, that's how it could work
How was the upvote weighting system designed?
Where did it come from?
Any plans for it changing over time?

I commented about a sort called Best above, that should also help boost smaller communities, that we'll eventually add.
Thanks for creating Lemmy! I like it a lot :) Do you have any ideas/plans on a privacy and user focused algorithmic view? If Lemmy wants to be big, I think we need something like this.
will a search bar exist for searching through comments on a post
We haven't added a post filter for the search yet, but you could open up an issue on lemmy's github.
When did you first think of starting lemmy?
Which instant messenger do you use and recommend the most for general use? I read Dessalines essay about why Signal is bad, from these options SimpleX looks best to me. Thoughts?
Lemmy is obviously getting bigger and bigger. Especially with the revolts against Reddit, and it seems currently we are in a similar state to where Reddit was when it was first started. Are there any tools you currently plan on implementing for server admins to prevent bot accounts, server toxicity, etc?
Also, do you guys have any worries about the fediverse devolving into a toxic cesspool of politics and unhinged users, like Reddit did? My worry is that over time, Lemmy as a whole will devolve into Reddit and be like one big virus that just spread over time due to growth. Once idiots find a platform to settle on they stay there. I think most people don't want that.
Since the release of Sync for Lemmy, some servers (like Lemmy.world for example) are down quite often, probably because of a huge influx of users. Will something be done about the big increase in down-time across Lemmy servers, and if so, how will that problem be dealt with in the near and far future?
Thank you.
I recently submitted a PR for stopping pictrs image federation. IMO the images themselves do not need to be downloaded when served by another pictrs instance. This would reduce the amount of diskspace and reduce the burden of hosting images that are unwanted by the instance owners.
What are your thoughts on this, and do you think this will be merged? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3799
If an individual wants to help develop this, how would they go about doing so?
