will a search bar exist for searching through comments on a post

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

We haven't added a post filter for the search yet, but you could open up an issue on lemmy's github.

How was the upvote weighting system designed?

Where did it come from?

Any plans for it changing over time?

What are your dream features or rework you would ask a magic genie? I mean nice features that require a huge amount of work
If you were to rewrite Lemmy from scratch, would you do everything the same way or would you rethink something?

Thanks for your amazing work, you guys are changing the world!

Any thoughts on adding emoji (or custom) reactions to posts? Might be a fun free alternative to Reddit’s award system. Might just add clutter.

Edit: nvm, found an open issue where you said you'd like to add it but there are lots of other things to do first: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2541

Thoughts on the use of geographic domains for vanity purposes? I know that's come up recently as a topic of concern, and personally, it seems like it's both extremely widespread and also maybe shouldn't have become super widespread given the actual implications.

I've talked about this elsewhere, but the whole DNS system seems US-controlled and broken to me, and is essentially a privatization of the commons. A lot of historically free ones now seem to be getting yanked. So far I think lemmy.ml has been safe because its a paid one, but its a concern. Either way, if any of these have to move domain names, it'll be an annoying hassle, but it won't mean the death of lemmy or anything.

Wish we could have the fediverse of instant messaging.

Fediverse instant messaging could work like email, just like how someone with gmail id can send mail to yahoo id.

username@whatsapp sending messages to username@telegram, that's how it could work
