No need to explain all the other crap
Can you add me too. Desktop/mobile/Android/Ios all in one.

Though I see now mine looks just like wefwefs and they're way ahead of me so I lost quite a bit of motivation to do this.
Very important note: We need Oauth. Putting your username/password onto an external app is not safe. A malicious dev can log all of it.
Nah I dont even like visible upvotes/downvotes. Just incentives the complementary wrong mindset for healthy discussions.
Your reputation should be what people know of you not points.
I worked at Tinder, we had something like 100 engineers for 20 million or whatever daily active users., and I think it was rather well managed with everyone doing a part. Reddit is 20x user wise and far more complex feature wise, so maybe it makes sense.
It seems absurd, but there's a lot of things going on that you don't think about. Bots, Ads, Moderation tooling, User management, Chat feature, NFTs, revenue features, push notifications, user targeting, ranking algorithms, etc all consist of whole teams.
Normal people do stupid shit that gets them killed all the time
I've been thinking about this.
I am thinking essentially the solution is the equivalent of multi reddits. In the UI, either from the user perspective, or the server admin perspective, you can setup communities that are just aggregations of different communities.
Then a user can choose to browse /c/cats which is actually just /c/cats from lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, etc as one feed.
It depends on what happens next. Short term there definitely isn't any harm. Longer term if the content stays as is it gets stale and dies. On the other hand if the people keep finding creative ways of posting content in this "new" format it seems like it breathes life into the site*___*
Check out svelte, its pretty much native JS.
Doesn't get much simpler than this https://github.com/ando818/lemmy-ui-svelte/blob/main/src/routes/%2Bpage.server.js https://github.com/ando818/lemmy-ui-svelte/blob/main/src/routes/%2Bpage.svelte
There's a ton of issues with the UI I want to address and there's a number of things I want to experiment such as how communities are subscribed to, so I started writing a new UI in SvelteKit. I also have Capacitor setup which would allow this to triple as a native iOS and Android application.
Would love some help if anyone is interested.

Preview so far though much yet still has to be done
Whats the matter professor? Nothings the matter fry, now that I turbocharged the matter compressor
No I am saying to me it seems like the vast majority of confusion for new users is giving them this super long detailed explanation of federation, and/or users trying to figure out which instance they should be joining. As a new user all you really have to know is to go on lemmy.world and signup and its just like reddit.
What I said is what I've done and have had zero to worry about.
Yeah thats fair on your communities disappearing. Not really a common things thats happening though, and not something youd really notice until you used it for a while.
