Hello, fellow Lemmy users! I’ve been thinking about how we can improve the way we handle issue discussions in our community, and I believe that moving these conversations from GitHub to Lemmy could be a game-changer. Here’s why:...

Hey everyone, I was wondering what you think about having a bot for nightly builds to test the latest changes and discover regressions. This would allow some instances to test the latest changes and discover regressions so that we don’t get stuck with those until the next big release. I think this would be a great way to...

Some years ago we used to post weekly development updates to let the community know what we are working on. For some reason we stopped posting these updates, but now we want to continue giving you information every two weeks about the recent development progress. This should allow average users to keep up with development,...

There’s another round of CSAM attacks and it’s really disturbing to see those images. It was really bothering to see those and they weren’t taken down immediately. There was even a disgusting shithead in the comments who thought it was funny?? the fuck...

How can I link a post such that everybody would open it via their home instance (and therefore could interact with it)? Or is there at least any way how to open specific post (from another instance via my instance) manually?

For those who are unfamiliar, the default sorting algorithm on most clients is “Hot” - It’s intended to be closer to “New” than “Top” so people who come to a thread late can have their opinion read....

I deleted them at about the same time, both on different instances. One is empty, from perspective of my new instance, but the other one shows all the posts. What am I supposed to do? I share some of my personal stuff online as means of venting so I can possibly reflect through unbiased responses from strangers and I’m...

I am 100% sure this has been thought of before. It’s a solution too obvious to ignore....

Hey lemmings....

We created a new repository for host requests for comment. It is based on the Rust RFC repo and meant to describe how major new features can be implemented. In this way more people can get involved in the discussion, without having to know Rust or getting lost in implementation details. If there is a major new feature you would...

That would be good, I guess.

Hi Lemmy. I tried to create a community today on lemmy.ml but nothing happened when i clicked the create button: a little wheel spin in the button and then nothing. I tried two different browsers and got the same results. Is lemmy.ml closed to new communities?

It seems like the whole feature is running wrong and should probably be hidden until it can be reexamined. Because every Lemmy server seems to have “trending communities” that are just empty new communities or are just single-user bot feeds. And those are fine uses of lemmy! But they’re not “trending”.

I mostly use Lemmy on mobile but I sometimes browse it with my desktop browser....

I haven’t used the All tab in forever because I got tired of blocking meme communities, hopefully I will be able to use it again with this filter, although I would prefer it it was something like the Top filter instead of the Hot one so I could see Top things from each community with the time filters available for hours, days,...

Hey I remember a community I liked called Mealtimevideos - not too short, not too long. Just right for lunchtime....

I know not all instances require it. I know not all instances take too long....

I was wondering whether that could cause issues for the limited servers available, like when the mass migration from reddit happened....

Hopefully this kind of content is ok here. Up until recently, when I would be searching for some kind of technical info, the top (and best) results would usually all be Reddit posts. I was very pleasantly surprised to do that this time and find a Lemmy post instead!...

Just posting my list of filter words on here in case anyone else wants to make their feed politics-free...

My GitHub repo awesome-lemmy-instances (that provides a detailed table to quickly compare lemmy instances) now includes the number of months that the instance has been tracked in the MO field....
