    URL Blocking, at last. Now I can block all those AI shit websites on my communities :D

    And being able to comment on locked post, what a nice QoL enhancement :D

    Someone ELI5 why Lemmy is or isn’t ready for a Reddit Exodus.

    Personally, I want it to be. Reddit censorship/shadowbans/deletes is outta control. Imo the problem lemmy has is on Desktop, since on Android there are some great apps like Boost that give it a Reddit-like end user experience, wheras Desktop experience in a browser is No equivalent of RES, or classic reddit. Opening images is very janky. I like RESs 'view images buttons, that untwirls all view image buttons. Using lemmy on desktop is a Chore. I can handle it. But I imagine its very much a bad taste and an impediment to a greater influx of average users.

    Its about time we left reddit behind and make Desktop lemmy more welcoming. The times we’re in requires a trustable platform. Reddit ain’t it.

      in my opinion it’s the login experience. selecting an instance is too confusing for the average user.

    I can’t wait! We’ll finally get to do a real world test for the parallel sending features!! And if all goes well I’ll get to save 5 Euro a month!

    Thanks LW

    Good luck admins! And thanks for doing it during the Carabao cup final so I have something else to occupy my time while lemmy.world is down :)

  • It’s a bit of a shame we don’t see any significant new features in this release. Piefed seems to be developing at a much faster pace compared to Lemmy, which is a bit embarrassing tbh.

      considering that we’re coming from 0.19.3, this does still introduce quite a few bigger changes for LW.
