Maybe I couldn't find it somewhere online, but is there a structured development roadmap for features you plan to implement? If not, what are the top priorities going forward? What are your long term goals with the project?

What are the challenges posed by moderation (and admin in general) that you didn't think of when launching the first instance?

(and: How can things get improved, how can people help?)

Is it possible to support search operators on Lemmy search just like on a typical search engine?

Is there any coordination with The other fediverse projects (mainly mastodon) and mastodon client developpers to enhance the interoperability with each other.

for instance being able to flawlessly post to lemmy and get notified about replies to your mastodon instance in a more convenient and user friendly way. where mastodon and its clients recognizes that a reply is comming from a lemmy server and displays it in a threaded way.

• to stops showing every comment on posts made to community I follow as a separate post. it fills up the timeline. I know it's something to work on from the mastodon side. but maybe there are things lemmy can help improve.

@nutomic@lemmy.ml, can't reply to the thread here because the user was defed from us which is a pretty frustrating design for the purposes of reading a whole thread from another instance, but i'd just like to say that if you don't self crit here you need to delete your avatar, maybe upload a picture of spez instead, because he says the same shit :) like a lot of your other posts but by god this is liberal shit that basically no one wants to see

will a search bar exist for searching through comments on a post

Will you implement an sorting algorithm that would show more content from small, neglected, unknown communities/instances on the main /all/ timeline so that they are more discoverable and will be seen rather than only showing the most-liked posts from huge communities/instances?

I have a suggestion about lemmy. Could there be a way where Lemmy can check for community names across instances to help reduce multiple communities of the same name? For example, say someone wants to create a Linux community on their instance and during the creation Lemmy searches an index of community names and finds one already named that name, it would then recommend the existing community which already exists be used or a new community name be made.

My theory is to help reduce the multiple communities of the same name posting the same article numerous times on the all feed.

I don't really have any questions at the moment, just passing by to thank you for making this great product/service.

After the Reddit fiasco I felt like my internet life would be empty, then I saw a thread on /r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH about they joining here and making an instance, so that's why I'm here now (not with them at the moment).

Then I started to be more active here than on Reddit until today which my Reddit account is basically forgotten.

I have read many of your answers and I can't wait until that "best" sorting comes out!

I wasn't very active in the biggest communities of Reddit because my likings which are a bit smaller (I don't think niche) than the big masses.

Thanks again for your hard work!

Now that right there is a very good idea. Thank you. Going to be a busy day for you guys.

Any thoughts on adding emoji (or custom) reactions to posts? Might be a fun free alternative to Reddit’s award system. Might just add clutter.

Edit: nvm, found an open issue where you said you'd like to add it but there are lots of other things to do first: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2541

Which instant messenger do you use and recommend the most for general use? I read Dessalines essay about why Signal is bad, from these options SimpleX looks best to me. Thoughts?

How's progress on OAuth2? I know previously you (understandably) said it wasn't a priority this early, but is it on the greater roadmap?
