Lemmy has an open API, and instance admins have even more data available by accessing the database directly. One of the lemmy.world admins is also working on a feature for vote analytics, though at Lemmy’s current size it seems very low priority.
Lemmy Lead Developer and father of two children.
I also develop Ibis, a federated wiki.

I thought about that too, have to figure out how it can be implemented (im not very good at frontend stuff).
No worries. Make sure to follow the documentation on join-lemmy.org for development, and use the release/v0.19
branch for both lemmy and lemmy-ui as the main branch is currently broken due to 1.0 changes.
Makes sense. My idea is to use a fixed order for the different types of results, eg always put communities first, then users etc. What do you think? For communities it would make sense to display the short description as well, and for users both post and comment count?
The tabs could make sense, but then they should be between the search bar and results, because each tab has the same buttons. You can make a pull request with what you have so far and then we can discuss it in detail.
Right, this is because it currently uses two separate api calls for search and resolve object. It will be fixed in 1.0 with https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5752.
Yes exactly.
Its basically a collection of communities, so you can browse multiple related communities at the same time. Piefed already implements this under a different name:
This is already implemented, admins can specify a “suggested” multi-community which will be shown next to Subscribed/Local/All just like you say.
Sounds like a variant of Doom. Now I want to play this game and shoot up the monsters.
Thanks :)
Fully agree that theres too much politics. Like you say too often about attacking some kind of enemy rather trying to understand other perspectives. For better or for worse, those seem to be the types of people more likely to use a new platform like Lemmy. Hopefully in the future they will also get tired of this stuff.
Thank you, all donations help :)
Liberapay is preferable as it has low fees and is also open source.
I actually got in contact with them yesterday, will probably have a meeting soon to discuss how we can work together with them.
Liberapay is the best option, because it doesnt take any fees beyond payment processing, and its also open source. Thanks for donating!
I see, or simpler yet a special badge which is shown next to donor’s username. Definitely worth considering. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for the analysis. In addition to the monthly donations there have also been many one-time donations. I agree that it makes sense to update the donation dialog and popup with adapted text from this post, will do that shortly.
Good point, this is one of those features which is already implemented in the backend but not added to lemmy-ui yet. Made a pull request for it.
