@dessalines yesterday, I asked around about the desired improvements to Lemmy and @bmp replied that conversation flows could be improved. Threads or comments aren't always explicitly showed and makes the user unsure about how to actually interact in the conversation.

Also, what are your next points on the roadmap? (If you have one)

Will the ability to send instance-agnostic post links be coming?

A bit late on this, but when can we expect the new rewrite of Lemmy's UI? It seems like a big task.

I would love a way to optionally post a location while choosing specificity, i.e. United Kingdom vs Newcastle etc. That way I can filter communities and posts to just those in a location I like.

I think it could lead to some really cool interactions and ways of looking for things.

Any thoughts on the "federated community" discussion? I find both positions to have merit, but I think I'm leaning towards community aggregation as an option.

Is there any limitations with the database (postgres)?. I know postgres is one of the best (maybe even best) monolith database (running on one node) at the moment, but will the space be enough? With this in mind, has there been any consideration of migrating to a distributed database like ScyllaDB or CassanraDB to alleviate potential space constraints? On the other hand, if Lemmy doesn't intend to store data for long periods, maybe the capacity of Postgres would suffice. Any thoughts or plans on this? I appreciate your insights on this matter.
