but Lemmy already does show up on Google results

https://www.google.com/search?q=Lemmy+wouldn't+really+takeoff+to+replace+Reddit+until+it's+content+is+search+indexable

I was so confused when I heard about lemmy-ui-leptos, it really sounds like a waste of time to me 🤷‍♂️

I’m sure everyone has a different opinion, but I think the most important new feature should be the plugin system. It seems like the only way to scale up the number of contributors and support a variety of languages.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4695

Scaled is amazing for the Subscribed feed, because I’m (obviously) interested in the small communities that I’m subscribed to. But it’s not quite the same when browsing All or Local. Usually I do stick to Subscribed though.

Can anyone link some examples?

They may as well just use phpbb at this point.

idk I think even with federation fully disabled, Lemmy is still better than phpbb

0.19.5 has passed 0.19.4 now, with 86 vs 85

I’m surprised 0.18.4 has more instances than 0.18.5, considering 0.18.5 was the simplest update ever with just a small hotfix for federating moderation actions (which is a really important bugfix) and it didn’t have any changes to the database or configuration or dependencies

Though Lemmy has funding for full-time developers.

barely, edited it to say low funding

I hope the plugin system will attract more contributors, especially since it supports a variety of languages

It’s very hard for people to accept that there are other things that may need to be worked on before their requested fix/feature. Every big project has a huge backlog of issues/feature requests, you can’t do them all in 1 day or even 1 year. Especially with low funding lol.

there was a discussion about this same post before, I’ll just copy paste my comment…

That post complains about not being able to view/manage images hosted by your instance, but v0.19.4 already fixed that last week? So that kinda disproves them saying the Lemmy developers didn’t want it to be possible. Also the post complains about the amount of storage used by caching images but that was also fixed/improved in v0.19.4

I think it’s just a comparison because during the Reddit Exodus people often suggested Discuit instead of Lemmy because ActivityPub is “too complicated”. So I guess this is a good demonstration that federation really is our best hope at replacing the big billionaire social media platforms.

As another point of reference vs Discuit’s 6,787 registered users, Lemmy has 1,904,195 registered users. Kbin has 66,175, and Mbin has 5,453 registered users.

I still don’t think the best solution to an under-staffed team is to try to make a competing under-staffed team. I think just contributing would be more helpful for all, especially with the plugin support coming soon to Lemmy

how long until Sublinks catches up to Lemmy?

would be cool but I don’t think the ActivityPub protocol allows that

it’s kind of outside of Lemmy’s control

personally I don’t care that much about post history or karma or whatever

you can move your account though, there are buttons to export and import on your settings page

it won’t bring your post/comment history with you, but it will carry over your subscriptions and saved/bookmarked posts/comments

Oh that’s really dumb

Maybe they should’ve rushed it instead of delaying it lol

https://tl.net The old Team Liquid forums, still the best place to discuss StarCraft

And I guess if Reddit was ActivityPub that would be good too

Does Lemmy instance server software already allow for plugins or extensions

Issue tracking for plugins/extensions, if you click subscribe on the issue then you’ll get email updates for it https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3562

I think admins curating the feed is… Interesting but also kind of dangerous

just letting the admins set defaults would be better than forcing these choices upon their users, which I think is was the above user was suggesting, which is kinda what Reddit does with having default subs

The active sort still showing 2 days old posts is not ideal.

why not? if they’re getting new comments then they’re still active

Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score [of the post] and time of the latest comment, with decay over time

it’s like something inbetween Hot and classic forums-style sorting (New Comments sort in Lemmy)

but I do not think that should be the default sort method, instance admins can already adjust what the default sort method is

I haven’t seen this, I only browse Subscribed not All

at this point I think we might need comments more than posts, there’s lots of posts already but most of them are lacking comments

Tournaments and also digital versions of the game. I think Scrabble might be popular on Facebook?
