Trying to get into Lemmy (and the Fediverse in general) now that the Enshittification of Reddit and Twitter are in full force. My home instance (for this account, anyway) is Lemmy.World, and I'm mostly using Liftoff (though I play around with others to help get a feel for different UIs).

I'm loving Liftoff, but I have one or two suggestions for future releases. The trick is that I'm not actually sure if what I have in mind is a request for Lemmy in general, the Lemmy.World instance, or the Liftoff app.

Does anyone have any general guidelines/pointers on what aspects of the overall experience are dictated by the platform, the instance, and the app?

You can check if it's an issue with Liftoff by just going to the web app and trying it there. LW and Lemmy generally have the same issues/feature requests.

Here's a quick attempt:

  • app -- how a link/image/video is opened, and how you see what can be seen and how you can do what can be done. It could do filtering, but then you might waste resources on the platform downloading things you won't see.
  • the platform -- determines all actions you can take that can be seen by other users, what settings admins can use
  • the instance -- can toggle the aforementioned settings, write scripts for automated actions (even things not allowed by the API), change the web app through styles
