Fediverse

Last I checked, the API docs were all just a JS repo. I’d really like to have the standard openAPI specs s well 🙏

When I get replies in my inbox, there is the first icon under it (chain=Link). When the comment it links to is not on the first page, it simply does not go there, it just opens the first page and that's that.

Another, with regards to inbox and user replies. My inbox count will not refresh unless I refresh the entire page. Navigation should update the notification badge. Replies need to be manually marked as read. On Reddit, one could simply click the reply and it would be marked as read, much like an email. This might be a good thing to implement.

Meta: Github has a reaction feature. Issues and feature requests can be sorted by those.

IMO, the devs could pin that information and anybody interested enough that has a github account can react and the devs could see what the community wants. There wouldn't be a need for a recurring thread.

Single community mode.

So with federation, each server being able to host an arbitrary number of communities can be a bit much. It makes sense for a site like reddit where it's just one site. But for a network of sites, hosting multiple communities is really a niche thing, but people do it because why not? The feature is there. But most people spin up a server for a single community and the communities on that server become dead, save for a couple of bigger sites. Having and making known the ability for an admin to spin up a Lemmy instance that's just one community makes a lot of sense. The server I'm currently using for example is for a diaspora from a single subreddit. Sites like that only really need a single community on them.

A more powerful front page sorting algorithm that drives engagement in a more organic manner and that increases the exposure of users to content that they're likely to interact with.
