I like that when someone creates a community, It usually just becomes a diary for them being able to post what they wanna see, I think we could all be nicer to each other in these trying times
Edit: damn y’all, don’t just say the bad thing you gotta say a good thing too
I’d love to see more niche content. I post to my city and country comms regularly, but there isn’t a lot in either.
It’d also be nice to see a few more viewpoints. Generally we all agree with each other. Any disagreement tends to be nitpicky and minor, rather than conversation worthy.
You can always hop on lemmy.ml and talk about politics if you want to disagree with someone.
A publicly available free API.
Developers can create any/multiple methods to interact with Lemmy (ActivityPub). And if I disliked all the methods existing developers created, I can create my own.
It is my choice how I interact.
(And for me Voyager is perfect.)
I think the biggest flaw lemmy has is the upvote/downvote system, same as on reddit. The arrows are used as an agree/disagree indicator, which buries unpopular opinions and rewards popular “low-risk” ones, thus creating the same echo-chambers we’re all so tired of.
Some instances disable downvotes for this reason (so when using a client only upvotes are used).
You can also use the scaled filter to see more niche things that may have been buried otherwise.
I want to see some moderated semi-official communities. Like /c/all.
/all needs some filtering. I sometimes reply post on there that host very niche interests and get called out for not being a nazi midget bestiality porn lover or whatever the community sidebar rules dictate you need to be in order to participate.
I mean, if the community is closed to everyone, dont have it appear on /all.
The echo chamber and reposts of the same shit ad nauseum. Getting called a Nazi and picking up bans for luke warm takes not agreeing with full on communism and not treating conservatives as one big maga group.
The loud nerds make this place unbearable if not for the fact that Reddit is worse garbage.
Ability to display context in a message thread would be helpful with interactions.
