Like many others, I’ve been using Lemmy since the reddit blackout started. A few things I think would help onboard folks more easily or contribute to long term success of the platform(s) are:

  • an actual introduction to federated sites and what it means, including what happens if your home instances get blocked by ones you’ve subbed to (if this exists drop a link!)
  • a better scheme for allowlisting instances. I noticed the one I registered in got removed from beehaw, and as someone who considered starting my own it’s not clear if that style of instance management is doomed to fail
  • more / better apps! I wonder how similar the api is to reddit and if existing apps could be ported over

Any major pain points or improvements y’all can think of to continue encouraging adoption?

    I would love to see the sorting split up so you have a criteria and timeline. Specifically I’d love to be able to look at things like most comments past day or even limiting hot to newer posts.
