If you think I'm a chatbot, so be it. Your interactions are as authentic as you want them to be.

For a chatbot I'm pretty dumb on most topics other than trains, electrical engineering and the City of Toronto (aka the center of the universe).

If I have just a handful of items it's convenient. But one in 20 times I seem to find a way to screw it up - like trying to scan the loyalty card as an item...

Any more than 8 items I'd rather just use a cashier to scan the items for me. But places (like shoppers) don't make it easy at all.

Alright thanks for the answers! I've looked through them, and maybe I was looking for more of what you thought personally of what major features you had in mind. Rather, it sounds like (but don't let me put words in your month) you're more focused on just keeping the overall work together and stable. I can respect that.

Thanks for both of your work on Lemmy, join-lemmy, lemmy-ui and Jerboa.

1. Can you tell us about any upcoming major features/issue resolutions in development currently, if there are any?
2. Will Lemmy have any form of cross-instance community/post grouping, similar to multi-reddits, hashtags, "alliances" or categories? Although some Lemmy apps have implemented something along those lines, it could be more fully-implemented in the official backend/frontend. I've been thinking Lemmy has desparately needed it to help solve some of the fragmentation problems across instances. It would also help avoid one instance necessarily having all the content, ballooning in both running costs and control.

Interestingly, Reddit was open-source between 2008-2017. I'm hoping we can kind of re-capture the feeling of old Reddit without botspam, adspam, and more focus on community and improving experience than on "premium features" and monetization.
