Lemmy

Allow the post author to decide the default sorting. I think this would be really nice because it would allow the author to design the appropriate dialgue.

For example, top sorting is good for finding the best answers. New is better to get a understanding of the general reception of the post.

It could also make sense to create new sorting methods if this was implemented. Perhaps a twitter like sorting where you can only see the first post in a thread. Then you can click into that thread.

Perhaps limit how users can interact for the post? Removing voting on comments or disable threads.

saving posts

When removing content, instead of deleting the content itself and leaving the username, it would be nice to have the option to leave the content and replace the username for a ghost or community user.

The link you posted does not seem to be working , this link looks like it's working well (it shows the most "praised" issues are e.g. writing a privacy policy and invite only instances).

Also i think you should migrate from bountysource to rysolv it's a much nicer platform and can show the most funded issues in general and for a particular project (which could help getting a feel for what are the most "appreciated" issues ).

Internationalization, i18n (not just l10n, localization). So, you can create communities only visible on a specific language, etc.

Federation.

a small ux request -- is there any way to make it so that notifications clear when I load the notifications page instead of persisting until i manually dismiss them?

1. How can we make the federated Lemmy more seamless? The in message community mentioning syntax, for instance, could use refinement
2. How can we support different languages better?
3. Is it possible to avoid the space for radicles that comes with federated platforms while still maintaining the values that a federation stands for?
4. Working out minor quirks that lower trust, like the 502 page when logging out, randomly being logged out until you reload, no css occasionally, and the free .ml [[domain]] for the flagship instance

Than, how can we attract users, specifically from different countries?

The first thing that comes to mind before advertising is attracting other communities from Reddit, but why would they come? Voat attracted members because the alt right was unwelcome on reddit, but most communities dont find a huge need to switch, even if they feel things could be better. The one exception is the privacy/Foss community, but it's a small one and perhaps not the best Target audience, let alone one of many nationalities.

If the above paragraph was somehow an attraction plan despite no internationality, some more issues would need to be ironed out:

1. can we offer reddit import?
2. can we make a compelling offer for everyone
3. can we have an attractive landing page

In line with 3, I think at some point some branding consideration is needed, ie

Lemmy: a world for everyone

With an illustration of stuff being shipped between different planets, one covered in flowers, another in factories and tech, and one more with ???

As an idea.

I am interested in your strategy ideas for growth. While I am rambling, worth noting that a democracy system is my long term dream, although far off in the pipeline

Is there a way to block instances locally per account? Like on mastodon where I can block a huge list of instances: If I block an instance I wouldnt see content/comments originated from those.

Is it possible to unblock user, whom I accidentally blocked? Seems not to work

Sorting the communities by what I want. Right now it's fixed at users/month

Collapsing comments

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....

An option to block someone from commenting in your community to avoid trolling.

Entrance only if followed or based on specific levels...

• Needs x amount of months membership on Lemmy to comment.
• Needs x amount of comments or and post submissions.

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.

Federate removing Spam. If a User gets banned and its content removed from the instance the user is registered, the user and its content should be removed from federating instances too.
