reply with features and bug fixes you'd like to see in Philthy, the lemmy fork that runs on this instance. no guarantees I'll get to any of them soon, but particularly low-hanging fruit and well-liked features can be prioritized.

here's one that'll take a bit more thought:

philthy needs a facility to put in alt-text for images

and a (default on) setting to warn you when you didn't

this already exists in mastodon, that's quite good actually (includes Tesseract OCR), might be a guide

I thought you could already do that with the markdown syntax ![alt text](url). Or is this one of those GitHub-unique markdown features?

[-] dgerard@awful.systems 3 points 7 months ago

ooh I didn't know that

needs an interface though

also that's probably not how Mastodon etc do it, and it would be nice if images worked over the fed

I was thinking about something like this recently! I generally like how mastodon does it, so that’s a good starting point

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
