Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
When will anyone be able to click the following /c/books And see an agglomeration of all "books" communities on all federated server? I don't mean multireddits Thanks!!
Hopefully PieFed will do that one day. In the mean time they combine comments from all posts with the same link, which is half way there.
You mean like a list of all communities named "books" or "books.."? And then you could choose to visit individual communities by clicking on them?
When will users be able to frictionlessly migrate between instances without losing their posts, their comments, their history, their relationships, their reputation etc? (Without requiring the consent of the exiting instance owner, or that this server still even exists, as they sometimes don't)
How would you improve it?
a way to filter out posts that have no engagement or comments from others would be helpful since the larger instances flood my feed w hundreds/thousands of news links that flood out the discourse on lemmy.
That would means the disappearance of /new once enabled. It should be a smarter algorithm that gives you just a few of them to vote on and do your part on sorting. But that also means your feed is no longer strictly chronological.
/scaled already seems to this and it helps with the posts themselves and, yes, shows posts out of chronological order; but helps a lot with seeing posts that would ordinarily get drowned out with /new.
i was proposing the same thing as /scaled, but with comments and/or votes instead of just the posts themselves since /scaled doesn't seem to work with the comments feed.
There is the "new comments" sort which makes it sort chronological by the time of the last comment under a post
a /scaled version of new comments is what i'm looking for.
Thanks a lot for the work you do! How do you get by with such a limited amount of funds? How sustainable is your financial situation if donations don't pick up considerably?
I live in Spain, the cost of living here is much cheaper than Germany or especially the United States. I also dont need luxuries, and have enough money saved to last for a while. If donations are not enough I could always work for some company, and spend less time on Lemmy.
No questions right now. Just wanted to say thank you for your hard work.
I know y'all catch a lot of shit and get hammered with requests/demands, so I wanted to let you know that your work is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for dedicating your time and energy to making a non-corporate, federated social environment possible.
Being on Lemmy has been a breath of fresh air.
Thanks so much for doing your part to make Lemmy an active place. That's the main thing that sets us free.
❤️
