@dessalines yesterday, I asked around about the desired improvements to Lemmy and @bmp replied that conversation flows could be improved. Threads or comments aren't always explicitly showed and makes the user unsure about how to actually interact in the conversation.

Also, what are your next points on the roadmap? (If you have one)

A bit late on this, but when can we expect the new rewrite of Lemmy's UI? It seems like a big task.

Will the ability to send instance-agnostic post links be coming?

How do you feel about ads on the internet?
What are your thoughts on the sustainability of FOSS?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Ads have made so much of the internet borderline unusable, to the point that browsing without an adblocker is not an option.
It remains to be seen, but I'm hopeful. The biggest issue is compensation for open source devs labor time. I think the liberapay / patreon / recurring donation model, is the best way forward. Devs don't need much, and most of the software we use every day is worked on by a small number of people, who should be paid for their work. If they got paid as much as the average youtuber with a patreon, FOSS would be in great shape.

Where did the Lemmy name originated from? How long was the development of Lemmy?
