Issues · LemmyNet/lemmy
github.comWhile @nutomic@lemmy.ml and I do have a lot of issues that are going to take us a lot of time this upcoming year, its still useful for us to hear what your most desired features for Lemmy are, and prioritize them.
If they’re smaller, we could get to them fairly quickly, or others wanting to contribute could see whats most wanted.
Outside of just posting them here, make sure github issues exist for them (this is what we work from), and do a thumbs up react for all the ones you’d like. Despite being a popular project, we have very few people voting on these issues . We can then use the link above (issues sorted by most thumbs up ), to keep track.
Thanks all.

I wouldn’t want to add solved, because its mostly useless, since answers constantly need to be updated for that year for almost every bigger question.
We do have a forum sort called new comments that is great for 101 communities.

Maybe have additional info when browsing from the home page that shows how long ago was the last comment on a post, or how many additional comments have been added since the post was last viewed.
It’d make the “new comments” sort a lot easier to parse as you can easily ascertain which posts have enough new discussion to read through again.
You could open an issue on lemmy, cause that would require some DB additions.

You have to use the search page to do more advanced searches, but also what is the what I want sort?

Total Subscribers is mostly useless, we used to have it this way just like reddit, but changed it to active users. Tons of reddit communities have massive sub counts, but almost no activity, since users leave over time. Activity is actually useful.

Click the minus sign.
It would be nice if the RSS feeds were advertised. For example if I browse https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy I wouldn’t know there was an RSS feed until I find and click the little RSS icon.
If a
<link>to the RSS feed was provided my browser extension would light up and I can subscript just by putting the community URL into my reader instead of having to spot the RSS button on the page.The RSS feed is advertised, on that button. There is an
<a hrefto that RSS feed also, so I’m not sure why your browser extension wouldn’t pick it up.I’m talking about RSS auto-discovery via
<link>tags. In the head of the page there should be a link take like<link rel=alternate type="application/atom+xml" href="https://lemmy.ml/feeds/c/lemmy.xml?sort=Hot">. This way browsers, extensions, search engines and feed readers can discovery the link automatically without the user needing to identify the feed link on each site.Ah cool. Should be easy enough to add, open up an issue on lemmy-ui with this info.

Human readable URLs! The URL is a very important part of a site’s user interface, and lemmy’s URLs currently just have a post number - there is no title, or even the name of the sub-community. Compare this to reddit: when I paste a friend a reddit URL in chat they get two hints about what it is about: the subreddit name, and the post’s title, both embedded in the URL itself. This lets them decide if they want to click it now, or later, or never, or to recognize if they’ve already seen it. Lemmy links should be like that.
good idea

No but you can block users and communities.

An option to block someone from commenting in your community to avoid trolling.
Entrance only if followed or based on specific levels…
This would also help fighting spam and trolls with alt-accounts to create an account, troll-up here, down-vote everything + shit-post. Since you could restrict voting as well with the idea.
We recently added private communities, and might eventually add some new user limitations… but I’m very wary of reputation or gamified based systems, or one that isn’t welcoming for new users. It’ll need lots of discussion before we add anything like that.

I’d like to block/hide certain communities from the “all” view. That way I can browse posts that I’m not subscribed to, but skip stuff I know I’ll never care about.
We added this a few months ago. Go to your profile settings, and the blocks tab.
It would be nice if there was a button on the community profile to make this easier to discover and use.
There is one on all community pages.
I must be blind. I opened a random community and couldn’t find anything that looked like a block button. I also searched for “block” and didn’t get any hits. I can only find the UX in my profile.
I used https://lemmy.ml/c/ckstechnologynews as an example.
Sorry, I thought that was in response to your RSS comment. You can only block communities from your profile settings currently.
There is an option in lemmur to block community that I assume is inherited from Lemmy. Just go to the menu on a post and select it.

1/ endless scroll rather than next/next/next
2/ that default view for communities be “top - all times” instead of “top - day” which in most cases makes believe that communities are empty and inactive. maybe that setting can evolve when Lemmy/an instance becomes more popular, but right now it is shooting itself in the foot with that view…
Often endless scroll is evil. I hope Lemmy continues to support ethical design. https://uxdesign.cc/practicing-ethical-design-1b9dd29402d
meaning 2/ for the communities you are NOT subscribed to
