Just wanted to say I LOVE lemmy! It's a really positive community, the atmosphere is great and I like how it's unique but also familiar. I really appreciate your work on it. I know this is AMA... what's your favourite animal?

+1 on registration experience being the #1 issue.

Would also be cool if we could stop 404/500ing deleted posts and instead display some indication it has been deleted. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment.

Thanks for Lemmy! 💙

I am new to Lemmy, so haven’t really looked into if the following is possible but can I create groups of communities with a similar topic across multiple instances?

What Is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

What’s something you wish it had? What can our community do to ensure that we keep pulling users away from US tech companies, and into the fediverse?

One of the biggest issue at this point is probably the registration experience. There are quite a few occurrences on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com of users not sure whether their email has been validated or not, and at the moment they really need to look out for the toastify notification on their first try, later attempts won't show it.

Most recent example: https://lemmy.ml/post/27607055?scrollToComments=true

If there could be a way to inform a user saying "your email address has been validated, please wait for an administrator to activate your account, you can reach out to them at xxx", that would be great.

Do you have any plans to make it easier to manage the images stored in pictrs? One issue I have is that I used to proxy images, I no longer do that, but now I have like 300GB on backblaze doing nothing. In this post I outlined more precisely what I mean.
