While @[email protected] and I do have a lot of issues that are going to take us a lot of time this upcoming year, its still useful for us to hear what your most desired features for Lemmy are, and prioritize them.
If they’re smaller, we could get to them fairly quickly, or others wanting to contribute could see whats most wanted.
Outside of just posting them here, make sure github issues exist for them (this is what we work from), and do a thumbs up react for all the ones you’d like. Despite being a popular project, we have very few people voting on these issues . We can then use the link above (issues sorted by most thumbs up ), to keep track.
Thanks all.
maybe more privacy features, like offering an invidious link when someone posts youtube, nitter for twitter, stuff like that
We could add helpers in the ui, like the one we have on the create post page for using an archive link. But overall I’d like a link aggregator to remain mostly agnostic about the links being posted ( we also do remove some tracking / utm params tho ).
The other thing is there are many of these 3rd party viewers, and they go down quite often and leave dead links. We’d use it if someone made a rust or js library for it tho.
For the case of Invidious, a redirector exists at https://redirect.invidious.io/ which could be used as intermediate point in this case.
I would like if people wanting to get content without executing nonfree stuff or privacy/security aware could have it easy and not just be the second-class citizens everywhere.
Other way to address this could be redirecting the people who post to these software and services to provide these links instead of being solely done by Lemmy. In this way, the person who post is the one who must solve the problem.
Oh wow, I would love this. I agree, it would be mighty convenient.
