  • People will always find some excuse to do nothing and stay on Reddit. Whether its Lemmy or Piefed you will only ever get a few people to switch.

  • In what ways does the Lemmy UI suck? I would appreciate feedback in order to improve it. For what its worth I only use the default UI on desktop and mobile, and like it a lot.

  • Instead of recommending Lemmy in general, you should recommend a specific instance which matches the audience. For example someone posted about piefed.ca in /r/BuyCanadian. Or you can link to a different frontend like vger.app.

    I did make a redesign to join-lemmy.org recently so that new users can reach the registration page with a single click. I am also curious about any suggestions you have to improve the onboarding.

  • I am really curious, who is it that goes around and slanders me behind my back? Why do they care so much what a random person on the internet says? And these are just some casual comments in an obscure online forum. Does this individual not have work to do, or friends to spend time with instead of this? So feel free to send me a private message with the username who sends these links.

  • No, Lemmy is fine. We may have our personal opinions on our things, but we never let them affect our work. A lot of admins and contributors also keep an eye on it. If you dont like how moderation works on a particular Lemmy instance, you can find a dozen other instances with different rules. As developers we could not even ban the clowns on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works if we wanted.

  • You don't need to recommend Lemmy as a software in general. It's better to recommend a specific instance which matches the target audience.

  • 1st Feb is #GlobalSwitchDay

    Jump

  • And also most of the things you said are simply wrong.

  • 1st Feb is #GlobalSwitchDay

    Jump

  • Bullshit, you are lying.

  • Piefed admin settings that allow to enable or disable content filters (they are disabled by default, see body for details)

    Jump

  • That was a temporary measure very early in development, when moderation tooling was still very incomplete. This was to avoid ending up like Voat. Once mod tools were implemented, the slur filter became optional. Simple as that.

  • -1 Fedi Social Credit

    Jump

  • That comment is deleted, did you actually read it? If you check the modlog you will see that I didnt defend CSAM at all, but was only defending another user. Just to make it clear for you, I am against pedophilia. Its honestly impressive, you dont know me at all you try to paint me as some kind of evil supervillain over a few misinterpreted comments.

  • Fun fact: you can't upload this image on piefed.social

    Jump

  • That feature was part of the development version, and never meant to be included in any official release.

  • Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse

    Jump

  • Defederations and bans essentially work like a shared blocklist for all users on that instance. Plus you get a local feed with other users who have similar interests, and blocked users/instances don't use local server resources.

    Subscribing to a blocklist seems risky, because it's likely that many users would subscribe to a single, popular blocklist. Then it would become a centralised point of control which can silence people across much of the Lemmyverse.

  • Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse

    Jump

  • You can export your settings, remove everything unrelated to blocks, and share it. Then other users can import the json file and it will be added to their existing blocklist.

  • Good point, I renamed it to "hosted in" and also added a filter by continent ath the same time (https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/pull/567). Translations are contributed by people like you via Weblate, contributions welcome!

    Multiple language selection would be both complicated to implement and also complicated to use. Not even joinmastodon.org has it. I would simply select the language which is less common, for French there is only a single instance.

  • Thread on /r/BuyFromEU about how to improve Lemmy

    Jump

  • First of all, Lemmy is open source. If you or anyone else wants to improve things, please open issues with concrete suggestions, or better yet make a pull request.

    The linked post also has various factual errors, not sure if AI hallucinations or the author was using older versions.

    The first 30 second: Stop explaining federation up front

    I changed this on join-lemmy.org a few days ago. Maybe its not reflected in other language translations yet.

    Feeds: Lemmy needs content gravity, not just content

    Not really sure what these mean, would have to see concrete examples of these supposed problems.

    Search: “Technically present” isn't enough

    Search already shows communities first.

    Portability: Lemmy’s killer feature new to feel real

    Data migration between instances has been implemented for a long time.

  • PieFed vs Lemmy. What say you?

    Jump

  • We are currently finishing to implement the last feature community post tags. Once that is done there is still some cleanup and bug fixing to do. Soon after that we will publish the first beta version of 1.0 (likely in February), and ask app devs to start implementing the new API v4. How long the beta phase lasts is hard to say, it depends how many problems pop up.

  • That’s a good point, I’m also not sure if there is a good way for instance admins to change that on Pixelfed’s site. I don’t have a strong preference either way, but having some way for admins to update the information would be ideal. Perhaps an automated system with custom overrides through a file on the GitHub?

    Not sure how you mean. Is it too complicated to make a pull request and edit the file I linked above?

    It might be good to indicate that the instance in the first card is a random instance, and not an official or ‘flagship’ instance. That way, if it links to a poorly moderated / maintained instance, it doesn’t reflect poorly on the project. My personal preference would be to have the Browse All Servers be the primary button, and then the join button be secondary. A refresh button might also work: “Refresh for a new randomly selected server”

    Its not random from the whole list, but selected from a curated list (currently only lemmus.org and thelemmy.club, see #545). Its displayed like this because a lot of people complained that choosing an instance is too complicated.

    Very minor, but some of the images are light mode while others are dark mode. It might look better if it was consistent

    The images are not great, I will make a similar post soon to get contributions, and feedback for better texts.
