The problem is just when someone in the past said “you should join <forum x>!”, you were always able to just immediately go to forum x’s signup page and sign up. But if someone hears of Lemmy, and goes to join-lemmy.org, there is no way to go to a signup page directly.

People should probably stop saying “join Lemmy”, and instead link directly to the site/instance they suggest

User should create an account on one server

Mostly this. Some people might want a few accounts but those would be hardcore users.

the password/cookie should still work even when awaiting validation, password is set before the email is sent

maybe I’m misreading what you’re saying, but we already have this, works the same way as Reddit

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html

the Summit app does it too

Lemmy should have some sort of recommendation alhorithm.

https://quiblr.com/ is a Lemmy frontend that does this

Will Lemmy can become easy like Bluesky? Are there plans like that?

I’m not a Lemmy dev (well I’ve made a couple of small commits lol), but this type of question can be hard to answer from the inside of a project.

It would probably be easier to answer a question more like: “Do you plan to implement feature XYZ in order to be easier to use like Bluesky?”

the apps! the app support is really great for Lemmy

I like Kdenlive, but I never tried Blender. I think Kdenlive is the good middle-ground complexity for me, DaVinci was too overcomplicated for me just to make a couple of videos a year. I used to use VideoPad, which is ok, it renders faster than Kdenlive, but I think the editing process is less efficient, and it has other issues. In some ways Kdenlive is less stable (crashes more often), but it seems less likely to end up with a project file that becomes unworkable. Sometimes in VideoPad you’d end up with too much stuff and the editing process would become laggy or just cumbersome (limited channels and effects). Kdenlive is a bit more powerful without becoming more complicated.

Very nice to see the fix for the spoiler bottom margin, I have been inserting line breaks after spoilers to alleviate that issue for quite some time.

I’ve used

(it’s just a bunch of hyphens) and that works well

sort of

I’m surprised this wasn’t already standard?

He called Git simple lol. Some good points here though. GIMP is definitely a bit clunky. Kdenlive does crash a lot for me, and often fails to recover the autosave, and it renders slowly. But there’s a lot of other good open source programs too. Firefox, OBS, Blender, some people in the comments were saying Krita but I haven’t tried it yet. There’s also Chromium and VSCode but obviously those are backed by huge companies.

something that didn’t get mentioned but I think is nice, the Chat view has been fixed!

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1639#issuecomment-2172090390

I believe it was fixed here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2480

it even allows sorting in either direction, you can do Chat view with New or Old sort!

there is an in-progress proof of concept here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4695

if you have a Github account you can “subscribe” to that to get email updates about it

In order to improve interoperability with Mastodon and other microblogging platforms, Lemmy now automatically includes a hashtag with new posts. The hashtag is based on the community name, so posts to /c/lemmy will automatically have the hashtag #lemmy. This makes Lemmy posts much easier to discover.

this should be interesting

for reference, this is what it looks like on Mastodon, the post to !announcements@lemmy.ml it gets the hashtag for announcements

https://mastodon.social/@dessalines@lemmy.ml/112576601493225058

it’s not really part of the message text, it’s separate

image proxying also sounds good

I think that’s https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4623

which is part of the milestone for v0.19.5

I’m still most excited about the ongoing work on plugin support

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4695

would you say this belongs in the 0.20.0 milestone? or is it too soon?

Did you try these searches while logged in or anonymously? Lemmy (and probably other platforms) don’t allow searches for remote objects unless you’re logged in, this prevents abuse of server resources. The fact that you’re getting replies and you can see them and reply to them means it’s probably all working fine.
