A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics.
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

So I'm scrolling down the All feed. Bottom of first page. Click Next Page. I get another page. Some of them are the same posts as on the first page because whatever algorithm ranks them for display just ran again and they got ranked in a different order.
I see one I'm interested in. I click on it. It loads, I leave a comment. I click Back to get back out to the feed. I'm on the first page again. It didn't remember my place.

I can say with 100% certainty that if I earned $1 for every upvote it would significantly improve my experience. 😁
lichess integration so every unresolvable argument can be decided by a chess duel. A bot reacts when it's called by a command (plus arguments to customize the game) and drops a link (only OP can access and play, others join as spectators). Results are then posted as a reply. It's not possible atm, but I guess lichess devs are based and won't mind a little customization on their side for that silly matter. Federating with them would be a way to null many people's bingo cards.
Lol thats a cool idea
An single sided interactive mirror of Reddit's communities.
It would be lovely to have all that content directly available right here.
And to be able to discuss the content with other Lemmy users.
But without being able to discuss / send back to the Reddit users.
This has been tried, but there's so much more reddit content that nobody can comment on it from here and start a good conversation. Plus many people came here to escape that.
Fair, a lot of dumb toxicity on Reddit.
Perhaps only syncing posts and not comments could be a good idea?
There's an instance lemmit.online that mirrors reddit content and you can subscribe to the communities.
Like others said, there is so much content it's hard to get conversations going, it works better to cross post interesting content to a lemmy community.

Ability to filter out political posts. I've blocked a few communities, but politics still invades things like news, memes, etc.
It's impossible to completely block it, I'm just saying hypothetically, if I could remove everything remotely political, I would.
I like the idea. It almost needs to be a crowdsourcing effort.
Users can tag content or something
I'd like a feed where I can't see something again that I already scrolled past = saw.

Ability to hide posts you've seen and aren't interesting. I usually either block the user or the community, depending on how uninteresting it is.
Not really possible, but... Have an ability to filter content by region. Removing all US content related to politics and "boring dystopia" would be a happy trade for 80%? less user activity.
The first one is already doable to some extent. In settings you can disable "show read posts" and it'll hide every post You've already opened before.

Language blocks or automatic translation More people that post content in my languages Hiding duplicate posts in stacked cards More non-Americans for a more global viewpoint
If I didn't get 403 errors when trying to post to groups that I'm subscribed to.
If everyone here came to life and we could all hang out every day IRL
We aren’t alive?
Wait are you not also a bot?
Negative, I am a meat popsicle.
Alive, but not living...
Fix the cross posting issue (crossposts are not treated like a new post).
Make it so when you go to a new unknown community it won't take 5 tries to see the first posts (before it's like it's empty at best)
Faster respons times overall, I'm running my own server and it's quite slow. 20 seconds to see my inbox for example. Maybe have tweaks for different server hardware configurations/loads.
Make it possible to post hirez images, locally (downscale for other servers so it won't hog them down).
A page for administrators including users, metrics, tweaks etc.
But I love Lemmy anyways, good job!
Native peertube support. I'd loved to be post a video have it just be federated.
