!lemmynade@lemm.ee has it labeled as the “Spotlight” sort option
We can’t force people to join, but we can emphasize the negatives of Reddit and the ways Lemmy solves those. Things like:
- Lemmy does not collect personal data and share it with third parties like Reddit does
- Lemmy does not violate your privacy with tracking or ads like Reddit does
- Lemmy’s code and algorithms can be viewed and reviewed by anyone at any time as-is, unlike Reddit
- Lemmy is 100% self-funded and moderated by its own users across the world. Reddit and your data is governed by a single money-driven corporation with controversial leadership
People that value those things are the ones that will consider moving over. You might say that you’ve read over Reddit’s terms and conditions, and then present the Lemmy community as a private and safe alternative if anyone wishes to join?
Happy new year, and thanks for continuing to post these!
I’m very close to releasing !lemmynade@lemm.ee for testing, and it has this! I know there’s a couple other apps out there that support this too. Mod resources are scarce right now, but us devs are hard at work to bring some great tools the table. I think this is one of the next big steps to seeing Lemmy thrive long-term. It’s only up from here!
If it makes you feel better, I fell for my own community link
The trees deserve it and they know what they’ve done
Yes! If you’re comfortable with Django, that’ll definitely work, not overkill at all.
If you’re down to get your hands dirty with JS, Astro is really easy to learn and can be extremely powerful if needed. TypeScript or JSDoc will give you the types in JavaScript you’re looking for, and that’s built-in to Astro too. SvelteKit is similar to Astro’s syntax but has more powerful server-side tools built-in and is my personal favorite.
Up to you, really just depends on how much you want to learn.
There is less content here than Reddit because there are less users here—less users creating content each day. Each of our comments and posts have far more weight and impact on the Fediverse because of this. The more we push ourselves to engage, create posts, or moderate communities when we normally wouldn’t before, the faster we will see Lemmy grow!
Yes you’re right, implementing OAuth or similar would fix this
My client (called Lemmynade) saves your scroll position, half-finished comments/posts, and more through exiting and even restarting your phone. The alpha release hasn’t dropped quite yet, but you can follow updates at !lemmynade@lemm.ee . I’m sure most other apps will improve this soon though, we are all working overtime in these early stages and it takes time to refine features and kill off bugs
There are <meta> HTML tags and <link rel=“canonical” href=“https://example.com/sample-page/”> tags as well that point to the original copy of a page, if it is not implemented it would be super easy to, but I’m on my phone at the moment so I can’t see the source code
This community is actually for support with the lemmy.world instance, I would try posting this to the !techsupport@lemmy.world community or a privacy-related community
