Hey everyone! I'll be going through and making features for the site soon (as I've almost got my laptop back) and wanted to know if there was any features that are wanted that I dont already have noted down

I'm currently planning to do:

  • Customizable icon shapes (circle, hexagon, etc.)
  • Flairs
  • Ability to block an instance
  • Ability for admins or community mods to hide communities from the all feed
  • Community short descriptions (to show in the community list + top of sidebar)

And polls are also being worked on by snowe

Will try to get the changes merged into lemmy itself as well but they'll be released here first

This is great news! What happens if the Lemmy devs dont accept the changes upstream, though? ๐Ÿ™‚

I don't think this will be a very big issue for the majority of the cases though. As long as it's configurable and not a (very) controversial change. Especially, since I don't think that feature requests on a programming focused community will be that much controversial...

What I have observed so far: I think the maintainers are relatively open to changes (compared to a few other open source repos).
