Comment on What are your complaints about Lemmy?

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.

Github has a way to mark things as important to users: users have to give the issues a thumbs up. No “+1”, no simple “this affects me too” comments, just a simple thumbs up on the issue. Then anybody can sort the issues by emotes.

Also, the amount of people complaining vs the amount of people actually willing to help is phenomenal. This is opensource software. You can contribute:

The Lemmy community is here not on GitHub, and discussions on GitHub issues without a threaded, tree-like structure suck.

  IMO, it would be better if every github issue had a corresponding Lemmy thread. Or if this thread were about awareness that github exists and issues should be mentioned there. Users could use their github account to thumb up the issue on github and make non-tech comments on lemmy. Otherwise, using your thread is quite difficult. Put yourself in a dev’s shoes:
  
  they have to be aware of the threads
  
  they have to deduplicate comments (many things are mentioned multiple times by different users)
  
  they cannot assign a status to anything (valid, invalid, pull request welcome, in process, done, …)
