this is FreeAssembly, a non-toxic design, programming, and art collective. post your share-alike (CC SA, GPL, BSD, or similar) projects here! collaboration is welcome, and mutual education is too.
in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.
some posting guidelines apply in addition to the typical awful.systems stuff:
- all types of passion projects and contributions are welcome, including and especially those that aren't programming or engineering in nature
- this is an explicitly noncommercial, share-alike space
- don't force yourself to do work you don't enjoy, or demand it of others

This could very well just be me not understanding Lemmy yet, but I find it tricky to find the new comments. I mean if I've read a thread and see that there are 10 new comments since last I read the tread, I would like to be able to find them. Or maybe there already is?
In SCOOP they were marked with [new] in read. I liked that.
Seconding this! I'd love some kind of highlight system. It seems like it sort of highlights recent comments very subtly, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with whether I've read them
that's a very nice feature, much as in Reddit when you have gold
i think sometimes they're highlighted?
yep! they are currently highlighted but the UI for it is very insufficient (a subtle change to the post’s background color) and it feels very inconsistent. there’s also the bug where your own posts are considered unread posts in the thread, which isn’t physically possible, and makes the unread mechanism a lot less useful. I feel like there’s a lot of low hanging fruit here that could make unread posts better very quickly, though I do want to check and see if the API has any bad surprises lurking
Having used it with the web interface and Mlem, it’s definitely there but it’s also awkward to use. I get the impression this is due to the APIs exposed for posts but haven’t checked as yet. Definitely a good suggestion!
