Hey everyone! I’ll be going through and making features for the site soon (as I’ve almost got my laptop back) and wanted to know if there was any features that are wanted that I dont already have noted down

I’m currently planning to do:

  • Customizable icon shapes (circle, hexagon, etc.)
  • Flairs
  • Ability to block an instance
  • Ability for admins or community mods to hide communities from the all feed
  • Community short descriptions (to show in the community list + top of sidebar)

And polls are also being worked on by snowe

Will try to get the changes merged into lemmy itself as well but they’ll be released here first

    I believe there is an API to convert such a link, but detecting that a link is going to a Lemmy instance might be difficult (or non-elegant).

      Should be able to just compare against the list of known instances. It’ll miss the ones that aren’t connected yet, but that should fix itself once someone subscribes to a remote community on the missing instance.

        Yeah, that’s what I meant by non-elegant. I think the way Lemmy assigns IDs to posts and comments should be re-thought. Dictionary lookup is a solution, but not a good one.

          Hmm, yeah, I see what you mean. Wasn’t thinking about having to convert the IDs. Plus the actual local copy of the post needs to be available, not just a connection to the remote instance.
