Please post one top-level comment per complaint about Lemmy. You can reply with ideas or links to existing GitHub issues that could address the complaints. This will help identify both common complaints and potential solutions.

I believe there are a large number of feature requests on Lemmy’s GitHub page, making it difficult for developers to prioritize what’s truly important to users. I propose creating a periodic post on Lemmy asking users to list their complaints and suggestions. This way, developers can better understand the community’s biggest pain points and focus their efforts accordingly. The goal is to provide constructive feedback so developers can prioritize the most pressing issues.

Please keep discussion productive and focused on specific problems you’ve encountered. Avoid vague complaints or feature wishes without justification for why they are important.

Here is a summary of all the complaints from the previous post from six months ago. It’s interesting to see how many issues have been solved and whether or not developers value user feedback.

    That’s so weird. I write controversial stuff here all day every day and I’ve never had this happen to me. Not here and not on reddit either.

        Yeah going thru her post history left me with the impression that if everyone seems to have a problem with you then maybe you’re the problem.

        This person is stalking me and digging through my account to find things to bully me about. This is the second time tonight that I have opened my inbox to find this user claiming they have dug through my account history.

      It is weird. The writing style, of the commenters who have verbally lashed out at me, seems to be the same in every abusive comment. Outside of social media, I have had strangers chase me out of job assignments by telling me that someone wants to shoot me. That’s been happening for about 3 years. Four years ago, someone hit me intentionally in a crosswalk and told me, “get up, it could have been worse.” Luckily, I had a witness who saw it happen, and he told the police that the driver appeared to have run me over intentionally. I didn’t even know the witness. He just saw the woman run me down in the crosswalk and heard what she said. If my husband didn’t send all of this after me, then some gang is after me.
