What do you want to have in a Lemmy instance? (ponder.cat)

I started up my own instance and now I have realized that there's no reason anyone would join mine instead of any other instance.

That's no good. What neat stuff would the Fediverse like to see in a Lemmy instance?

Follow RSS feeds in your Lemmy feed? I have that already, in a way, but it would be nice to be able to do it for any feed automatically without it being clunky.
Follow Mastodon users? Or tags?
Embedded video? That seems costly.
Hackability? The ability to run your own customized front end? Or good scripting features in the browser console?
A better looking UI? This one is functional but it's not pretty.
Better moderation? I have heard the Lemmy tools aren't that good.
Something else?

Can the pages play music, and animated avatars? I feel like you're onto something.

Our profiles playing music and having their own effects that we can pick

With each day we're getting closer and closer to classic Myspace

Cory Doctorow pointed out recently that having pages be ugly and half-broken is an immune system against creeping corporate influence. Marketing people are incapable of making ugly pages without collapsing into fits, so if every page on your system is ugly and homemade, they won't be able to fit in there, and they'll have a harder time turning it all into shit.

The Internet really did feel more genuine back then when it was ugly and half broken.

It was less sterile and uniform

Every site was unique

Communities felt more real

There I go, whistfully looking to the past again

Is this an early xkcd? The ending feels very "Cueball and Megan"...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That is exactly what it is, yes.
