Go into your settings and unclick show read posts , and save. Then you won’t see any of the same posts again after you’ve read them.

You can already just use the URL / link field to link to that album, and also choose a custom image if you like.

You can also just use the post markdown body to post a lot of pictures also.

Thx!

No we are a long way off from a 1.0 release yet.

Community post tags will be in 1.0 . The back end is done, and the front end is in my list of next 10 or so things to do.

To respond to some of these:

Lack of granular privacy / profile control

Fair, but also lemmy isn’t trying to be a facebook-style social network, but a reddit alternative. So the main action isn’t really following people, but following communities. GNU social and others probably do granularity and limited sharing better.

Poor content discovery / lack of niche communities / limited diversity

There are a few external tools to help with this, but @Nutomic also built in a feature for new instances to pull various popular communities, that will be in lemmy 1.0 . This should help with some content and communities being on new instances.

Fragmentation across instances / duplication of communities

This is a feature, not a bug. Many communities run by different people, with different userbases, is a good thing. !news@startrek.com is going to be different from !news@starwars.com and !news@ghana.com

Bad User Experience (UX) / usability issues

There are like 10 different open source apps for lemmy, on every platform, with completely different UIs and experiences. This is a far better ecosystem than anything else I can think of (especially reddit), and if someone has problems with UIs on any of them, they can contribute.

Performance / reliability / scaling problems

Will always be an issue that needs work, but lemmy has scaled up to support ~40k active monthly users without too many issues. Most of our problems are database, not network related. Both problems can be solved solely by development resources.

Moderation, safety tools, and content-quality issues

Mods can remove all content at the click of a button, and users can report items. I’d need specifics on other things that are missing.

Search and archive weak/incomplete

Would need more specifics here, but we have a lot of search filters and capabilities.

Over-representation of particular content types (US-news, memes, agenda posts) and low content-quality

Somewhat unavoidable on anglo-net, and especially when people are drawing in large numbers of users from reddit, which suffers from that above. Also there are some servers that do no moderation on US content, and let it overrun every single community. Here we try to keep it on /c/usa unless it affects the greater world, and we also try to remove low-quality drumpf says type-memes that overrun reddit.

I just tested this, and it’s not a bug, except for the decimals (open up an issue on lemmy-ui github about that).

It only shows the upvote percentage when there are downvotes. Otherwise, you can assume it’s 100%.

With 1.0, still a long way away with as much work as we have.

Where are you seeing this? Sorting communities by active users monthly is the default everywhere, including on the /communities page.

We don’t allow lemvotes here, as it’s vote snooping spyware. Lemmy users have overwhelmingly said they’d prefer their votes to be private. Currently only admins and mods can see them.

Yes, these would be in clearly marked, distinct sections, so its clear what community they were cross-posted to.

No. Your comment would only go to that specific post you replied under.

The amdocs funding isn’t that concerning to me, because unlike signal (which also had shady funding, via the US DoD / OTF), the matrix back-end can be self-hosted, built from source, and run entirely privately.

Yep. Not sure, just something that seems like it’d be easier or limited in scope.

We could def use the help. There’s probably a good amount of issues outside of help wanted, that wouldn’t be too difficult. Feel free to comment in any of them and we could help you get started.

The new front end lemmy-ui-leptos is also in rust.

You can search communities, but in the communities page, they’re only sorted by active users.

No probs. Class struggle can only be hidden from view (or exported to poorer countries) for a short time, so its inevitable that people will turn to socialist ideas after their conservative ideologies fail to answer any of the most important questions, either about their day-to-day lives, or the world.

Corporate social media can ban and censor communist ideas, but that’s impossible on the fediverse. So I’m glad we’re here to help fight that.

No probs

Here is the issue and the pull request.

Essentially multi-communities are a federated item very similar to communities, that federated users can subscribe to. They have an id, a creator, name, description, and a list of communities. If you subscribe to it, your instance will pick up any changes to it. You can then get a list of posts filtered by that multi-community.

Here are the new endpoints:

• https://join-lemmy.org/api/main#tag/Post/operation/GetPosts
• Not new, but you can now filter by a multi-community
• https://join-lemmy.org/api/main#operation/FollowMultiCommunity
• https://join-lemmy.org/api/main#operation/CreateMultiCommunity
• https://join-lemmy.org/api/main#operation/GetMultiCommunity
• https://join-lemmy.org/api/main#operation/CreateMultiCommunityEntry
