No they don’t use sql views, they’re built using an in query (which we still have to see how performant that’ll be, and is pretty much the same problem as subscribed communities, needing to sort and filter based off joined data)
You can see them in action here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/3521
Multi-communities are already completed in the back-end, and front end will be done shortly.
Redditors have no concept of what the democrats are: a controlled opposition party in a one-party capitalist empire.
Both pro-war candidates. Sanders voted to bomb like 8 countries, and AOC has supported israel many times with her votes also, like the iron dome.
Community post tags will be in 1.0 . The back end is done, and the front end is in my list of next 10 or so things to do.
If he says anything even slightly negative about NYC’s police force, I could see him getting Huey Long’d pretty quickly.
To respond to some of these:
Lack of granular privacy / profile control
Fair, but also lemmy isn’t trying to be a facebook-style social network, but a reddit alternative. So the main action isn’t really following people, but following communities. GNU social and others probably do granularity and limited sharing better.
Poor content discovery / lack of niche communities / limited diversity
There are a few external tools to help with this, but @Nutomic also built in a feature for new instances to pull various popular communities, that will be in lemmy 1.0 . This should help with some content and communities being on new instances.
Fragmentation across instances / duplication of communities
This is a feature, not a bug. Many communities run by different people, with different userbases, is a good thing. !news@startrek.com is going to be different from !news@starwars.com and !news@ghana.com
Bad User Experience (UX) / usability issues
There are like 10 different open source apps for lemmy, on every platform, with completely different UIs and experiences. This is a far better ecosystem than anything else I can think of (especially reddit), and if someone has problems with UIs on any of them, they can contribute.
Performance / reliability / scaling problems
Will always be an issue that needs work, but lemmy has scaled up to support ~40k active monthly users without too many issues. Most of our problems are database, not network related. Both problems can be solved solely by development resources.
Moderation, safety tools, and content-quality issues
Mods can remove all content at the click of a button, and users can report items. I’d need specifics on other things that are missing.
Search and archive weak/incomplete
Would need more specifics here, but we have a lot of search filters and capabilities.
Over-representation of particular content types (US-news, memes, agenda posts) and low content-quality
Somewhat unavoidable on anglo-net, and especially when people are drawing in large numbers of users from reddit, which suffers from that above. Also there are some servers that do no moderation on US content, and let it overrun every single community. Here we try to keep it on /c/usa unless it affects the greater world, and we also try to remove low-quality drumpf says type-memes that overrun reddit.
I’m betting on absolutely nothing happening to the NYC prison camp complex, especially rikers island.
You’ll need to take this up with markdown-it, which is one of the most popular javascript markdown libraries, and follows the CommonMark spec. They know what they’re doing and I’m sure have reasons for rendering it that way.
Edit: https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/#emphasis-and-strong-emphasis
Some servers don’t seem to be doing any vetting, allowing a lot of repost accounts, bot accounts, and karma farmers (even though we don’t show karma in lemmy).
All we can do is report those accounts, block them, and if the servers keep allowing spammers, then block those servers.
At least in western cinema, only sci-fi can get away with anti-imperialism. Star wars (the rebellion = vietnamese communists), lots of Star trek episodes especially in DS9, Dune (the book first, then the film), and pry a lot more I can’t think of right now.
The KHIVE is here to correct the record on her prison slave labor scandals, defense of white supremacist cops, disproportionate jailing of black people, and staunch support for Israel.
Kinda crazy how democrats now are just like: “Yeah, I eat a plate of shit. I don’t like it, but they told me that was the only option. So I did it, I’m proud of it, and anyone else should be ashamed to not be eating shit like me.”
Obligatory US troop copypasta
You see american choppers in the bright blue sky, hundreds and hundreds of screaming american soldiers drop from it, you look across the field and see the tanks rolling in. You hear a loud explosion and realise that the shrine you have protected for thousands of years with tooth and nail is destroyed by the empire, you come to the realisation that this is very probably the end of your people who’ve struggled to survive all these centuries.You realise that very soon there is going to be a river of blood of your people here; white phosphorus and depleted uranium will be shot very soon, deforming babies for decades to come, and millions of your people are gonna be killed. Your millennia old language and religion will be wiped out, you’re very likely the last of your kind.
Suddenly, an American soldier kicks you down, puts his foot on your neck and aims his standard ar-15 on the side of your head all while screaming; you realise you’re gonna die, and you won’t have to see the destruction of your community that you fostered so carefully all these centuries for.
Just before he pulls the trigger, you think to yourself, “To be fair to him, he probably had a low GPA in highschool and didnt have a health-care, those are notoriously hard to get in America”.

The PRC commands the heights of the economy. The most important point, is that capital is deliberately permitted and restricted, only allowed in some sectors, and not allowed to rise above the state or organize as a class, as in capitalist states:
This thread is being targeted by a lot of no-content “correct the record” fediverse accounts, upvoting pro-genocide US democratic party and Israeli talking points. Please report them so we can ban them ASAP.
Thank you to all the posters below doing great work debunking them.
If Harris had won the 2024 election, do you honestly think she would be mass deporting immigrants without a trial, starting a trade war with China, attempt to cut funding for FEMA, etc?
Of course, look at her predecessor. Obama massively increased ICE, deportations, and did a pivot to asia.
She has her own list of atrocities to account for, but most importantly, she’s pro-israel, and pro-genocide.
“Gonna need to see a source from a white country before I’ll believe anything positive about China, the DPRK, Venezuela, Cuba. If it ain’t white, it ain’t right.”
