i don't want to bring the big forum website that lead to the creation of lemmy (red**t), but that site lets you create posts for your own profile, like, it treats your own user wall as if it was a "subreddit" of its own and, if you don't have any followers or don't have the followers button enabled not a lot of people will see your post, but at least you can just sort of use it for posting interesting or casual stuff. lemmy should totally implement that please!!! can you do that on lemmy?? i tried but there's not a way you can do it, i've been trying so if you know a way of creating posts on your profile, please let me know thank you

edit: there were a few grammar mistakes,i'm sorry!!!

It's not the same, but I've seen people create a community for that. As a workaround. You can call it like your username and link it in your bio.

that could work but that means anyone could join and post there right??? or is there a way to set a community private and make it so that only a specific person is allowed to post?? wait i think there is!!! maybe

You'll be an ~~admin~~ mod and you can only allow ~~admins~~ mods. Like how Lemmy world announcement does. You can only comment

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Mod, not admin.

Mod is community level, admin is server level.

Never paid much attention to that feature, but it sounds similar to microblogging, e.g. Twitter's posting system. And given that, maybe you'd be interested in checking Mbin (has Reddit-like UI/UX), Piefed (dev says microblooggin is in the roadmap), Mastodon (Twitter-like UI/UX) and/or Misskey (also Twitter-like UI/UX)?

I am vehemently against it.

Just make a community. Build it, they will come.

Not everyone needs a personal board. When reddit did it it made me think of how discord does the same thing and all it does is muck up ux.

Sorry, but in general "not everybody needs it" isn't a valid argument against a feature. Those that don't need it are free to not using it.

The question should be whether or not it will be useful for a significant number of users.

Oh sorry, didn't realize you were the arbiter of product design. Thank you so much for showing up to let us know!
