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.

search desperately needs to be reworked. maybe it should even be an external service that just indexes off of the lemmy database and uses the API to pull in federated results when they're not cached locally?

fuck, why do I keep wanting to spin up a search engine

Images in comments are tiny and awkward to expand. Please make the images display as hyperlinks so I can centre-click on them to open the image full-sized in a new tab, or do whatever else with it.

Fix the bug that you get logged out when refreshing the page sometimes -- I've noticed this on both Firefox and Safari. The token still exists (at least it's present in document.cookie as jwt), but for some reason it doesn't get sent anymore, so Lemmy thinks you've been logged out.

I've actually looked into this already, but didn't get very far, especially because it doesn't even happen all the time.

Honestly, just storing it in localStorage instead of as a cookie might work ...

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

better federation health logging; a section in the instances page to see logs for the result of the last ~5 or so incoming/outgoing federation attempts with another instance

I was wiped when i got home yesterday 😅

here's the ones I gathered from various thread mentions:

• modtools local-posts view
• user flairs (non-federated to start)
• repo and docs renames (I believe these have been done)
• a review of the existing containers/container build flow, to see what's in there
• CI: open question as to preferred CI system, feedback welcome
• button to allow auto-subbing users to new subs being created (strikes me that this would also involve user prefs work, to allow users to control that). might also open the door to an invite feature?

authorized fetch support, pretty please?

Mentioning this since I noticed it today: better frontend handling / indication of blocked users. I think this might be a regression on the most recent web ui? Think I saw it indicate that previously

Also think I might have found an incongruency between web UI and one mobile client display format, but needs more poking at in case it was just cache fuckery. (Specifically also pertains to post display handling in case of blocked users)

Am I missing something, or does the default web ui not have any kind of way to get to bookmarks (indicated as stars in the control elements)?

Hmm. So, pinned threads are a thing, but just thought (from the kagi thread, David’s post about apologists specifically) maybe pinned comments could also be valuable/useful?
