  • I don’t know if this can be adjusted at the platform level, but is it possible you could put in a filter for meme posts? That is 85% of my feed, and I’d really like to minimize them as much as possible.

    I come to Reddit(and now Lemmy) for discussions rather than memes, and the content I’m looking for just doesn’t appear in my feed at all really. It would be great if there was a way to filter out or diminish the quantity of those types of posts. Reddit has flair, which makes it easy to filter that way. I’m not sure if Lemmy has something comparable that would allow easy filtration like that.

    This should solve that when it gets implemented.

    There’s not a good way to control what content I see. It’s essentially either “everything” or “a single community”. On Reddit, you could already have multiple communities about the same topic on Reddit, but usually one was dominant, and you had multireddits to save you if there truly are a few good related subreddits. Now on Lemmy, you multiply that problem by N instances, and subtract the multireddit feature. This situation simply must be made better somehow.

    I think we need decentralized search, or rather federated search if possible. Something akin to Lemmy and kbin for search. I’m not sure what the implementation would look like, but it needs to happen I think.





  • Was thinking the same thing, is a lemmy instance supposed to be literally a single server instance?

    So I think this is what people have meant by vertical vs horizontal scaling in all these prior threads about the servers. Right now they are vertical scaling only, which means they can only run it on one server. Lemmy seemingly currently struggles with horizontal scaling, or as it is more widely known, load balancing between multiple servers.

    I believe this is on the devs to do list(someone please do correct me if I am wrong), and is being bumped up to a much higher priority considering the massive influx of users to the lemmyverse.


  • I don’t think I can go back on mobile. Their mobile app is just straight cancer. On desktop, I’m going to leave it as my homepage as long as old reddit survives, but as soon as that’s gone(which I expect since it seems to be on death row), I’ll be switching over here entirely.

    On mobile, I’m already switched over to Jerboa and I won’t be using their mobile app ever(sorry for the redundancy, I just hate their mobile app that much).

    Lemmy will continue to grow, and I’m totally here for it.
