So, recently Lemmy 0.19.4 has been released and it should be the focus of the releases of this client in the following weeks.

There are no breaking changes (technically) so rest assured that, even if you are on the "stable" channel and do not install the latest development release, things will continue working and the app won't crash or become unresponsive while you are using it.

Nonetheless, I think there are very interesting features such as the list of all media you have uploaded or the possibility to see all posts you have hidden (provided that you have hidden them permanently, unlike what the app does now i.e. marking them as read and hide them temporarily).

What are the features that you would like to have and what are the most important ones that you think will bring quality of life improvements to your user experience?

These are the first 2 that I personally like the most:

  • show list of hidden posts
  • access list of all uploaded images

Thanks, I totally agree with you, the first one will be the occasion to rework the "hide" feature as well.

The community visibility option is interesting too, and I'm already adding the possibility to set it while creating/editing communities, since I was already working on that part of the app for another feature request.

Local Only and Community Ban State for me.

Nice, thanks! They are both "quick wins" at it should be easily to implement all of them. They will be the first ones I start with (I'm already on the "Local only" one).

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.

TBH, I find the changed ~~subreddit~~ community links quite important, but this is FOSS and it's ok to chill or decide for yourself.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

I am not sure I understand which kind of links you are referring to... the image_mode for image URLs is a back-end configuration and so is the URL blocklist feature. What am I missing?

Sorry, I re-checked and my comment was based on a single post (where they were omitting the instance) that I misunderstood and confused with the removal of having to lead a community with an exclamation mark. Please ignore my first comment.

Ah now I get it, yes I read about it too: the leading ! in handles when searching (resolving objects) is going to become optional, iirc.
