Hey everyone! I’ll be going through and making features for the site soon (as I’ve almost got my laptop back) and wanted to know if there was any features that are wanted that I dont already have noted down
I’m currently planning to do:
- Customizable icon shapes (circle, hexagon, etc.)
- Flairs
- Ability to block an instance
- Ability for admins or community mods to hide communities from the all feed
- Community short descriptions (to show in the community list + top of sidebar)
And polls are also being worked on by snowe
Will try to get the changes merged into lemmy itself as well but they’ll be released here first
Good point and I agree with the downsides. Giving admins more granular ways of hiding content sounds healthy.
There’s also the important distinction between admins finding opinions on the other instance “disagreeable” and muting vs. illegal content in the instance server’s jurisdiction and those of the admins. Defederating the whole instance does seem harsh if the problem is within specific communities only and doesn’t deal with illegal content.
Difficult problem!
