The purpose of this community is to discuss and collect feedback about the development of the Raccoon For Lemmy mobile app.
Feel free to use this space to share your
- bug reports
- feature requests
- enhancement ideas
- general feedback about the app and how the project is carried on.
Suggestions as well as criticism is well accepted (better if constructive but who cares after all: Lemmy is beautiful because there's freedom).
Have a look at the GitHub repository for more information.
Chat with us on Matrix!
NB: Notes collected here will eventually become issues on GitHub to better track their evolution.

MODERATORS
Reactions, please. Like github reactions. I believe this could solve the dichotomy of using up/down votes for both agreement and "this is an interesting thing." It would allow people who don't have anything to contribute to signal agreement and reduce "This!"-type responses. It would allow people to signal disagreement without replying with a response that could lead to verbal abuse, inciting language, ad-hominem attacks, and so on. But it might allow Lemmy culture to shift to using votes to indicate something worth reading, without forcing them to implicitly agree with the post. Or downvote a post as an uninteresting, maybe commonly repeated, reposted, or just from a dubious source without the implied disagreement of the content itself.
I really do think the double meaning, conflicting use of votes (regardless of how the designers intended them to be used) is a net negative for Lemmy, just as it was for Reddit. Adding reactions - even if only a constrained set of emojis, as in github, would enrich interactions on Lemmy.
