Ask Lemmy

I can say with 100% certainty that if I earned $1 for every upvote it would significantly improve my experience. 😁

So I'm scrolling down the All feed. Bottom of first page. Click Next Page. I get another page. Some of them are the same posts as on the first page because whatever algorithm ranks them for display just ran again and they got ranked in a different order.

I see one I'm interested in. I click on it. It loads, I leave a comment. I click Back to get back out to the feed. I'm on the first page again. It didn't remember my place.

I'd like a feed where I can't see something again that I already scrolled past = saw.

An single sided interactive mirror of Reddit's communities.

It would be lovely to have all that content directly available right here.

And to be able to discuss the content with other Lemmy users.

But without being able to discuss / send back to the Reddit users.

Language blocks or automatic translation More people that post content in my languages Hiding duplicate posts in stacked cards More non-Americans for a more global viewpoint

Ability to filter out political posts. I've blocked a few communities, but politics still invades things like news, memes, etc.

It's impossible to completely block it, I'm just saying hypothetically, if I could remove everything remotely political, I would.

lichess integration so every unresolvable argument can be decided by a chess duel. A bot reacts when it's called by a command (plus arguments to customize the game) and drops a link (only OP can access and play, others join as spectators). Results are then posted as a reply. It's not possible atm, but I guess lichess devs are based and won't mind a little customization on their side for that silly matter. Federating with them would be a way to null many people's bingo cards.

If everyone here came to life and we could all hang out every day IRL

Fix the cross posting issue (crossposts are not treated like a new post).

Make it so when you go to a new unknown community it won't take 5 tries to see the first posts (before it's like it's empty at best)

Faster respons times overall, I'm running my own server and it's quite slow. 20 seconds to see my inbox for example. Maybe have tweaks for different server hardware configurations/loads.

Make it possible to post hirez images, locally (downscale for other servers so it won't hog them down).

A page for administrators including users, metrics, tweaks etc.

But I love Lemmy anyways, good job!

Ability to hide posts you've seen and aren't interesting. I usually either block the user or the community, depending on how uninteresting it is.

Not really possible, but... Have an ability to filter content by region. Removing all US content related to politics and "boring dystopia" would be a happy trade for 80%? less user activity.

Native peertube support. I'd loved to be post a video have it just be federated.

FREE PIZZA!

Probably some central home page. That has a set of communities.

I think the most common complaint from new users is that it's too complicated and "I can't find anything"

If there was just a reddit front page esque thing going on I think the barrier to entry would be lower.

If the goddamn TLDR bot updated regularly and if it appeared on every post with an article within 5 min.
