Hey everyone! I'll be going through and making features for the site soon (as I've almost got my laptop back) and wanted to know if there was any features that are wanted that I dont already have noted down

I'm currently planning to do:

  • Customizable icon shapes (circle, hexagon, etc.)
  • Flairs
  • Ability to block an instance
  • Ability for admins or community mods to hide communities from the all feed
  • Community short descriptions (to show in the community list + top of sidebar)

And polls are also being worked on by snowe

Will try to get the changes merged into lemmy itself as well but they'll be released here first

    This is great. I think "instance post/comment links" would be a great addition to Lemmy core in general, but don't know how easy it would be to implement. What I have in mind is: when someone provides a link to a post/comment in another instance, it would be converted to a link the person is logged in from. I think it would be OK to leave the link as is but add an icon next to it that goes to the correct URL for that instance.

      Yeah no idea how that would be connected. I know theres an extension that does it so I might need to look at the source for that

        I believe there is an API to convert such a link, but detecting that a link is going to a Lemmy instance might be difficult (or non-elegant).
