to be honest, what i need is an open notion, so a lot of the stuff i want from joplin is just not gonna make it

but, regarding the apps themselves, i for sure would like a better experience and overall polish. Even obsidian is just a note app markdown based, but the experience is just better with gestures, shortcuts, nested tags, tags sidebar and so on

so maybe i'd say that i'd like joplin to be an open obsidian 🤔

Do you happen to have a way to search without making an account?

tbf op said they made a flag, not "THE" flag :)

I'm fine with letting the frog decide which communities get deleted and to close community creation after formal request to the frog

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

That's not happening to me... I've installed it from brew and there is no need for me to do anything weird except the occasional "this app was downloaded from internet so you allow it" when updating from brew (stuff that gets updated natively doesn't even ask this)

I think people are retreating more and more into chat groups. Those people are not on reddit anymore, they are probably in discord related to certain products hobbies etc.

I really wonder how long until we will start seeing the effects of not having more updated general knowledge in the public web, but oh well 🤷

On a side note, after all, the web always had a bias and a lot of fields never had easily available public discussions...

I would rework the other stuff, like the whole branding because all that hacker green doesn't help in feeling the communities. And the images for the same reason... Also there are some features that are worthless listing like "you cannot have an avatar"

Also the censorship thing...

Let's say that the homepage kinda reflects the state of lemmy people as a group right now and it's not so nice imo

Focussing on being a clean forum with nested answers and human curated algorithm and idk, just pointing some low hanging fruits

On a side note I wonder if having the page as onboarding for users instead of explaining the software is the right target. Ideally it should be communities trying to outreach to have people on their servers, not the software asking to join people who use the software (?)

But I digress.

On a marketing level point of view, while we are clearly the small fish, it's not bad to leverage being enemies of Reddit. Like in the past we've seen much more Apple vs Microsoft while now they ignore each other.

"Reddit if was not owned by venture capitalists who keep ruining your life" lol (too long)

Anyway, is there any kind of data to know if people actually join lemmy by joinlemmy site?

A community poll for Lemmy users would be good.

Mastodon also got the rss for user's media, useful to follow artists

As for Reddit, go away from the main subs

unluckily niches are not yet developed enough but still better than nothing and you can help with posting

It costed nothing to say Kenya instead of Africa and Solar power revolution instead of solarpunk

While the funds pour in yes startup are so nice, let’s see this fully integrated vertical stack with sensor for remote shut down how evolves with time…

The same article could be done with the fediverse “solarpunk is already happening on the internet” or whatever good thing is happening in the world

Sorry I just feel like the author is sugar coating a startup, a bit de-politicizing solarpunk and looking down on Africa complexity e_e

Still an interesting read
