To add the following settings for the user in their account settings... - Disable User From Posting - Disable User From Commenting - Disable User From Upvoting/Downvoting Useful setting to enable for users who have two accounts. One account for browsing their feed while another account is used for interacting. These setting will prevent the user from accidently making a post with the wrong account for example

A setting and API call to be able to import and export saved posts.
When reading news, I want to know which website goes with the headline... just seeing a link to archive.org doesn't give that information. Cross-posting should be based on source URL, not the various archive sites hosting copies.

The ability to create, edit and delete community groups. Lets say a user is subscribed to many gaming communities, The user can create a group named "Gaming" and add all the gaming communities can be added to that group such as !skyrim@lemmy.world and !pcgaming@lemmy.ml. And allowing a subscribed community be under multiple groups. Lets say a user has a group named "Tech" and another group named "Linux". The user could have !linux@lemmy.ml under both the Tech grouo and Linux group. When sorting your feed by subscription, you can filter your feed further by view all subscribed feeds or filtering what groups to see in your feed.

The FHMY instance lost their domain (fmhy.ml) recently and therefore had to get a new domain name. They did not lose their data. However, this broke the federation between other instances. - You can still access lemmy.fmhy.ml communities and posts on other instances such as lemmy.world even though lemmy.fmhy.ml is completely offline - Even if FMHY used the data they had from lemmy.fmhy.ml in their new domain name lemmy.fmhy.net, it will just duplicate/fork the communities and posts from on other instances. I think a good solution to solving this is to have each instance generate a public/private key pair, and when two instances federate, they will share public keys. If a instances goes offline and reappears again under a new domain name, it will know it is the same domain name due to the public key pair and re federate by changing the domain name on every community and post made with that instance.

This issue is a feature request to provide users a very simple way for them to: - Export a list of all the communities that they're currently subscribed-to and - Import a list of communities to subscribe-to I would recommend: 1. a button on the Lemmy profile page that says "copy community list" which, when clicked fills the clipboard with a CSV list of the communities (as their shorthand identifiers) that the user is subscribed-to 2. a button on the Lemmy profile page that says import community list which, when clicked, asks the user to enter a CSV list of communities.

Setting to block instances. There are settings to block users and communities.
Would be useful to add a feature that can disable and enable accounts. A disabled account is not a banned or deleted account, but an account were the user cannot view posts, view comments, view communities, view users, view their feed. And to have the ability to use the API to disable and enable user accounts for private instances.

I know Reddit, Lemmy and most link aggregators use an upvote and downvote system. I am not against this and am not suggesting to remove it. Perhaps have both displayed, It will show the upvote/downvote count and also the total likes and dislikes on a post or comment. Or have a setting to enable Like/Dislikes and instead it will show the total likes and total dislikes on a post or comment instead of a upvote/downvote. If it is a setting, the instance can choose weather to display upvotes/downvotes or likes/dislikes by default.

Currently there is only one light/dark theme option which is the "Browser Default" option which uses the litely and darkly themes. Please have a browser default theme for all the themes that are available in light and dark mode such as.. - Red - Compact - Vaporware

Add a button that will appear on any community page, post, user, etc that is outside the current instance that says "View On Instance". When you click on this button, you will be directed to that page on that instance. For example, if your on the following URL... https://lemmy.ml/c/fediverse@lemmy.world And you click the button, you will be taken to... https://lemmy.world/c/fediverse

The 2FA button link is useful for most 2FA apps but for some, we need the secret key that we can copy and paste into our password managers like KeePassDX and KeePassXC. Please add a button or field that will copy the secret key and also inform the user it uses SHA256 when entering the key manually.

When you create a new post there is the URL field, image field, body field, etc. When you select an image to upload, it will override the URL to the URL of the image hosted on the lemmy instance. This is confusing since users may thing you can have a URL and a image in a post but in reality you can only have one or the other. I would like to suggest a toggle button were users can choose to have a image or a URL and not have both fields visible at once.

Would like to see this feature as well for posts and comments. This will allow posts and comments to embed multiple videos in a post or comment. Would be great if youtube, peertube and odysee was supported for video sites!
github.com
Please have an account setting and instance setting were images and videos that are in the post URL, will be embeded and loaded when you load the page, and not require the user to click on the image/video thumbnail to load/embed the image/video on the page.
Someone pls do something about this.
Imagine the following situation: some lost lemming posts a random beans fact in a comm that you moderate. It sparks a cool discussion, but it's completely off-topic. In this situation, what do you do? If you remove the post, you're being that annoying mod telling users to stop having fun. But if you keep the post there, you're encouraging people to post even more off-topic in the comm. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Because of that, I think that it would be cool if we had the ability to migrate posts from one comm to another. This could be done in two steps: * mods can "kick" a discussion out of their comms. Those discussions end in a specific comm called c/off-topic, c/general, or whatever the admins of that instance (yup) decide. * mods can also "adopt" discussions from c/off-topic and bring to their comms. I feel like this would be the best of both worlds - it's less disruptive to community, but it still allows users to discuss their random junk. For reference, Ruqqus had a similar feature, with the +general guild being mostly off-topic stuff. It worked fairly well IMO. 4chan also does something similar to the first step, with the /trash/ board.
So I came here from Reddit, and I was using the Apollo app. It had a cool feature that let you basically “reverse subscribe” subs, so that posts from them didnt pop up at all when browsing All. Is this something that can be implemented for Lemmy?
Adding E2EE to the private messenger would be good for privacy. I do not expect much else in the private messenger since users can always use Matrix. However an simple encrypted private messenger built into Lemmy will allow Lemmy users to send and receive messages without needing to create or link their Matrix account.

A WYSIWYG editor for posts and comments

Lemmy is essentially also a federated forum (Really a link aggregator). The only real difference from a link aggregator to a forum is that forum comments are in order by date and time while a link aggregator is in a tree with the replies to other comments. Essentially add a button next to chat and a setting in the account settings to sort the comments the exact same way as in "Chat mode" except it will show the oldest comment first up top and the newest comment last at the bottom like a forum thread. (Describe your proposed solution here.) Adding a toggle button on every single post called "Forum" or something like it to sort the comments by date and from oldest to newest. And for comments that are commenting on other comments to have a link to the parent comment and the parent comment in quotations in the comment child comment. And to also have a setting in the account to have all threads sort comments this way if the user chooses without needed to press the "Forum" button every time.
Title. Subscriptions should be dedicated for paying users, the amount of which would be set by the instance admin according to how much he sees fit ( he can add the sum of donations and average it on the number of donators, then substract less or add more according to his financial needs). for non paying users, just roll ads. was commented on this by a user. https://ibb.co/gRZqJqG well, lemmy devs deserve support too. lemmy devs should charge a fraction of admin owner incomes. or admins take into account dev cost. This is lemmy economics at this point. someone need to figure this out. But priority to hardware/bandwidth costs i guess :/
Like, i dont want to read anything about reddit, or elon musk, so i put those keywords in a filter that would hide posts/comments related to those. used to work like a charm on Ruqqus.
Lemmy Rust code: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/cb28af508d030683561bdc9dde2299cf818f2c6b/crates/api_common/src/community.rs#L76 Allow directory of communities specific to a particular Lemmy instance, ones already know to the local server.
In the Lemmy web app I'd like the notification count to stand out more with respect to the bell icon, for example by displaying the count in a contrasting color such as red. At present the count is more subtle and I often end up missing the latest notifications (which, now that I think about it, some may consider a feature 😀).
Sometimes users submit some content (post or comment), and due to a bug or performance issue the content doesn't appear, even if the instance already saved it. So the user resubmits it over and over... like this:  (This is not my own comment, but I had this issue already.) While this isn't usually done for the sake of spam, it's still a source of noise for the community, and annoying for the user oneself. So my suggestion is that, when a user tries to submit a piece of content to Lemmy, Lemmy should compare it with the last piece of content already submitted. And if they're identical, prevent it with some error "warning: duplicate" or similar.
This is a Link to a Lemmy posting, it is suggested you comment on the original posting in the [!asklemmy@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy) community.
There are users who are going to upload the same reaction images and content to comments all over the place. And those users will be on their same home server. Increases performance for all the people reading the comments. Reduces storage for the server operator at the expense of some extra calculations.
However far off multi-communities are, it would be nice if it were easier to manage the communities I'm subscribed to. Easiest, low-hanging fruit would be to allow me to create my own lists of communities for when I want to visit communities independently and would like to do so in a more organised fashion. Also, providing a basic text search window for the names of my subscribed communities could also help.
