Hey everyone,

I'm trying to share a book reading list with some friends, but Pastebin's SMART filters flagged my content as potentially offensive, even though it's just a list of book titles and authors. The only option I have is to make the paste private, which isn't useful for sharing.

I tried PrivateBin as an alternative, but it doesn't allow editing after creation. I need a service that lets me edit the paste and keeps it available for at least a year. Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable pastebin alternative that meets these criteria?

Thanks in advance!

I'm searching for a good Android app that lets multiple people work together to create a list of meals for the next several days. Ideally, it should offer easy collaboration (shared lists or planners) so everyone can check/update meals. Does anyone have recommendations for apps that make group meal planning straightforward? Thanks!

Better if I can moderate the choices added.

We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let's change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:

1. Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
2. No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
3. Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

Let's create a comprehensive list of open-source software that everyone should know about!

I'd like to invite you all to share your thoughts and ideas about Lemmy. This feedback thread is a great place to do that, as it allows for easier discussions than Github thanks to the tree-like comment structure. This is also where the community is at.

Here's how you can participate:

• Post one top-level comment per complaint or suggestion about Lemmy.
• Reply to comments with your own ideas or links to Github issues related to the complaints.
• Be specific and constructive. Avoid vague wishes and focus on specific issues that can be fixed.
• This thread is a chance for us to not only identify the biggest pain points but also work together to find the best solutions.

By creating this periodic post, we can:

• Track progress on issues raised in previous threads.
• See how many issues have been resolved over time.
• Gauge whether the developers are responsive to user feedback.

Your input may be valuable in helping prioritize development efforts and ensuring that Lemmy continues to meet the needs of its community. Let's work together to make Lemmy even better!

I'm looking for a federated social media platform that allows for easy topic-based following and blocking, similar to how you can follow or block hashtags on Twitter. On Lemmy, you can follow communities, but there are so many that it becomes overwhelming. I want a platform where I can see or block everything related to a specific tag, and also view only the most popular posts about that topic, similar to how Lemmy communities work. Mastodon, for example, only shows the latest posts, which isn't ideal for trending content. I don't want a chat-like experience; I want to quickly see what's trending about a topic or what's trending in general, while being able to block a few specific topics. Ideally, I wouldn't have to spend hours curating a list of communities or followed users. Does anyone know of a platform that fits these criteria?

I've noticed that the "All" feed on Lemmy is pretty much the same across all instances, showing posts from every instance regardless of the specific focus or community vibe of the instance you're on. This seems like a missed opportunity to make the experience more tailored and engaging for each instance's unique audience.

For example, if there were an instance dedicated to literature lovers, wouldn't it make sense for the "All" feed on that instance to prioritize content that's more relevant to people who enjoy books, poetry, and writing? Instead of being a global feed that shows everything from memes to tech news, it could reflect the interests and values of the instance's community.

I feel like making the "All" feed more tailored to each instance would not only improve user experience but also strengthen the sense of community within each instance. What do you think? Would love to hear everyone's thoughts!
