  • I just took another look at the site, and I love the new changes already!

    Very good idea, also opened an issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/issues/526

    I see the developer also found the issue, great to hear that you both might be collaborating.

    The images are just to avoid having too much text, a bit similar to the Peertube site. I already mentioned it in another comment, if you know any better images to put there I would be happy to replace them. The icons on your site are very small, so it would still show a lot of text.

    That’s a good point. I like the images you have currently, and I’ll keep an eye out for anything that might be better.

    True these havent been updated in a long time. Any specific features that you would emphasize?

    A few of them have nice big cards now, so those could be combined. Otherwise the features that I personally would have been interested in are (in no particular order):

    • Emojis with autocomplete support. Start typing :
    • User tagging using @, Community tagging using !: You could also emphasize that this works across instances. For example: “Tagging users and communities from any federated instance”
    • Integrated image uploading in both posts and comments.
    • i18n / internationalization support for > 30 languages
    • RSS / Atom feeds for All, Subscribed, Inbox, User, and Community.
    • By hosting your own server, you can be in full control of your content.

    Instances can have multiple topics, in fact you can make a PR to this file to update it yourself.

    Thanks, I made a note for our team to look into that in the future!

    I like Pixelfed’s join page since I can quickly narrow down an instance based on what’s important to me: https://pixelfed.org/servers

    That’s a good point, I’m also not sure if there is a good way for instance admins to change that on Pixelfed’s site. I don’t have a strong preference either way, but having some way for admins to update the information would be ideal. Perhaps an automated system with custom overrides through a file on the GitHub?


    Some more feedback on the current version of the site:

    • It might be good to indicate that the instance in the first card is a random instance, and not an official or ‘flagship’ instance. That way, if it links to a poorly moderated / maintained instance, it doesn’t reflect poorly on the project. My personal preference would be to have the Browse All Servers be the primary button, and then the join button be secondary. A refresh button might also work: “Refresh for a new randomly selected server”
    • Very minor, but some of the images are light mode while others are dark mode. It might look better if it was consistent

    While I don’t know about Oreos, ingredients also vary by region. A number of products have different ingredient lists depending on if you buy them in Canada or the US. So something that is could be considered vegan/vegetarian in one region, is not does not meet the requirements in the other region.
