MODERATORS
Redditfugee here. Lemmy is like if reddit and IRC had a baby. Some honest feedback:
Can lemmy.ml open signups so they don't need to be approved? At least temporarily. 90% of people are going to end up here when checking out lemmy. We want to make it as easy as possible for them to sign up and get started.
It's confusing how communities on other servers aren't automatically and easily available. You can add them but they should visible from the start.
If you add an external community and are confused as to why it's missing comments and posts, there should be a message to tell the user that it's fine, it's just syncing.
You may be aware but for others, on the main page you can change which communites are displayed. At the top, there is the option or Subscribed, Local, and All that's only a single click/tap. (I do personally think the default should be All)
From the list of posts, you can then select a community from a different instance (these will have the community name with something like @example.ml at the end) which will bring you to that instance. From there, you can select the "Communities" option from the menu and it will show you all the communities that are hosted on that instance.
Also there should be an easier way to reply to posts on other boards. As it is now you have to subscribe, find the post, find the comment you want to reply to again, then reply. If you paste in a link it should detect board, post, and comment.
You should be able to copy the link from the fediverse button (the rainbow Pentagon) and then paste it into the search on your instance.
Well that's convenient. I never noticed that is was a clickable link it before.
