  • Idea: Allow users to subscribe to threads they didn't make so they can get alerted of top-level replies

    Jump

  • Yeah, but they'd probably be better submitted as GitHub issues instead of posts here, or in this case searching for the already existing issue

  • Lemmy AMA March 2025

    Jump

  • The problem is just when someone in the past said “you should join

    <forum x>

    !”, you were always able to just immediately go to forum x’s signup page and sign up. But if someone hears of Lemmy, and goes to join-lemmy.org, there is no way to go to a signup page directly.

    People should probably stop saying "join Lemmy", and instead link directly to the site/instance they suggest

  • User should create an account on one server

    Mostly this. Some people might want a few accounts but those would be hardcore users.

  • Will Lemmy can become easy like Bluesky? Are there plans like that?

    I'm not a Lemmy dev (well I've made a couple of small commits lol), but this type of question can be hard to answer from the inside of a project.

    It would probably be easier to answer a question more like: "Do you plan to implement feature XYZ in order to be easier to use like Bluesky?"

  • the apps! the app support is really great for Lemmy

  • Communities about "old stuff"

    Jump

  • Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

    Jump

  • The benefit to a forum is that posts with new comments move to the top. If a Reddit/Lemmy post gets a single new comment it may or may not be seen again by anyone except the OP or of the comment was a reply then to the op of the replied comment.

    Lemmy does have this actually

    New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they are created or receive a new reply, analogous to the sorting of traditional forums

    https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html

    and then there's the "Active" sort, which is kind of a compromise

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

  • Comments from multiple posts on the same page

    Jump

  • It's a little bit not-obvious that the top comments are from News@lemmy.world here

    Maybe they should get a header just like all the other communities do for their sets of comments?

    the comments from the other communities actually stand out more than the comments of the current community, due to the headers, without the header the comments just kinda blend in

  • Kdenlive 24.12.3 released

    Jump

  • I like Kdenlive, but I never tried Blender. I think Kdenlive is the good middle-ground complexity for me, DaVinci was too overcomplicated for me just to make a couple of videos a year. I used to use VideoPad, which is ok, it renders faster than Kdenlive, but I think the editing process is less efficient, and it has other issues. In some ways Kdenlive is less stable (crashes more often), but it seems less likely to end up with a project file that becomes unworkable. Sometimes in VideoPad you'd end up with too much stuff and the editing process would become laggy or just cumbersome (limited channels and effects). Kdenlive is a bit more powerful without becoming more complicated.

  • Reminder that LW's delay with Aussie.zone is currently at 2.98 days

    Jump

  • Like, a significant issue here is the insistence people have had that up/down-votes be synchronized. People want to know what the global passive-aggressive opinion on a post or comment is, rather than the local one, which requires every single button press to be sent to each and every subscribing website. And people expect stuff to be sent out as a live stream, rather than being held back for batching, too.

    I figure this could be reduced a lot if even just 1 minute worth of votes were batched together, although I don't think the ActivityPub standard technically includes batched activities currently

  • if the requests are all serialized, if the ping time is like 300ms, and if each request takes like 100ms of CPU time

    that means you only need 648,000 actions in queue to equal 3 days

    when you consider that even upvotes/downvotes of posts/comments count as actions, I could see it happening

    but the queue isn't completely serialized anymore, so maybe this number is still a bit unbelievable (EDIT: seems like LW has not yet enabled the feature for parallel sending)
