Just joined! Thanks!

One small thing i would add for sign up is giving a message about waiting for being approved for the community, i was confused that it sent me back to the homepage until reading the docs.

Any chance we could have thumbnails show up on the index page?

Edit: On second thought, thumbnails work as long as your post is an image you uploaded. But it doesn't pull up og:images it seems, leading to those blank squares.

Communities that have been broken due to the bug regarding remote moderators are still unusable from outside lemmy.world, breaking federation: https://lemmy.world/post/209377

Assistance is needed from the administrators for all such communities.

Was Lemmy.world down just now?

It could be useful to have sub-communities like Usenet had newsgroup hierarchies. E.g. within c/tools there could be c/tools/drills, c/tools/saws, or whatever. On deaddit (formerly called reddit) they end up making dozens of related top level subreddits scattered around but I think it is good to add some kind of organizational structure.

This is something which is definitely not a priority. But accounts getting badges or something similar for completing milestones would be pretty amazing. Currently the profiles look really empty

@ruud FYI, not sure if something is backed up between lemmy dot world and the mastodon server I'm on. I follow the c/gunners community from mastodon, and was getting updates in my home feed until yesterday. Posts (like this) are viewable, and can be replied to, by pasting the URL into search, but they're no longer showing up in the home feed.

(edit) and I see the reply shows up on lemmy 🤔​

Request: allow a setting where we can turn off auto-load new posts. The front page resets every time it automatically loads new posts. It can be disruptive.

Would it be possible to implement multifactor authentication as an optional log-in step? Preferably supporting authenticator app and hardware tokens rather than just SMS as SMS is now considered an insecure authentication method.

Enhancement requests:

1. Please add the little eyeball icon at login, to make the password field readable. That makes it easier to type difficult ones.

2. It would be good to have a search option to search just the current thread, rather than the whole site or whole community.

Thanks!

Lemmy.world: In settings, you can define the default Sort Type for posts. Next to that, there is a question mark that leads to a 404 iso to the explanation.

By the way. It is both impressive and amazing how much the number of active topics has grown here over the last month. Congrats!

Search by community is not working. If you go to search page, and select a community and click search, it will search in all communities anyway.

v18 released today, when can we expect the update to be rolled out here?

EDIT: Not a demand, just a genuine question, sorry if that came off abrasive

Could the Upvoted/Downvoted/Hidden tabs be added to profiles? Would really be useful when searching something you've already seen.

I don't know if it a bug or not, but my Posts are nowhere to be found in my profile.

There should be a way to set "my posting language is English" in my profile settings, so that it's automatically set to English when I post, evern single time, unless I go out of my way to choose something different for a particular post.

Former reddit user making the switch the best I can.

• Found this guide and made an account on Lemmy.world
• went on my merry way and found several communities here and there
• tried to install the mobile client Jerboa and got blocked because the server is older than the app version — and for some reason the former versions crash on my phone

➡ am I right to assume that the end user risks losing its app mobile access everytime there's a update from the app and / or the server?

• in the end I ended up downloading Thunder which allowed me to login to lemmy.world without version issues

Someone has probably mentioned it already but Jerboa is giving me this error when trying to use lemmy.world

When attempting to sign in on the Thunder app to the lemmy.world instance I get the error "LemmyApiException: Record not found" whether I use my username or e-mail I signed up with as the username.

I am signed in to the instance in my web browser and have already verified my e-mail, so I know my account is active.

On the main page, it seems like there's a stream of stuff always loading. How do I pause it?

Not sure if this has been mentioned. But as I just joined I was looking through communities to join and noticed there were several with the same name but just lower case instead or with a space between words.

Should community names be case sensitive and no spaces to make sure there are fewer duplicates/lookalike communities?
