Is there a way to watch old threads? I want to tag an empty discussion, get notifications when it becomes active (maybe digest mode to avoid spam)

I have FOMO on good content that isn't active yet.

Is this already a thing? FYI using sync app most of the time.

I just save them (I use Voyager) and look back later at my saved posts (or comments).

I just use another app that doesn't hide read posts - it's a shitty workaround and really only functions for my local communities with little turnover, though

The steam engine.

Brainstorm phase, go:

What if instead of boiling steam we utilise the combustion of some sort of liquid coal to move the pistons?

Excellent. Now let’s compile all these ideas and pick the best one to move forward on.

I wonder if down votes should be lightly nerfed. The idea would be to make it easier for people to post mildly unpopular opinions in hopes of furthering discussions and weakening brigading. I imagine there are a lot of people who comment once, get downvoted and then either never comment again, or only comment in ways that are safe and appeal to the community’s biases and sense of humor.

Something like requiring 10 downvotes to drop from 1 to 0.

Oh, it would also discourage spite downvoting since it would be hard for any one user to push a persons comment to 0.

Or since scores aren’t really even tracked across all of your posts and comments, we could just care a little less about how people are voting on our posts. If one isn’t well received it’s really not the end of the world.

Search. I want to search the entire Lemmy, not just 'my' instance.

Failing that: have Lemmy content appear in search engines.

A new Heathcliff community setup, to house all Heathcliff or Heathcliff adjacent content.

I would be so happy ; -)
