Helix is a modal text editor, but I haven’t used it as much as I’d like because it lacks the plugins I use in Neovim.

Indeed, most people I know IRL still use the same passwords for everything.
The Lemmy community is here not on GitHub, and discussions on GitHub issues without a threaded, tree-like structure suck.
I think I copied pasted that in there from one of the github issues. I didn’t mean to.
Users often have difficulty finding specific posts or content they’ve previously seen on social media platforms. The current tagging/hashtag systems on platforms like Twitter are limited and don’t provide adequate organization and searchability. Additionally, many users want more granular content filtering options beyond just binary NSFW/NSFL flags.
Implement a comprehensive, flexible tagging system similar to platforms like Safebooru, with the following functionality:
Implementation:
The proposed tagging system aims to vastly improve content organization, discovery, and personalized filtering capabilities compared to basic hashtags or binary flags. It provides flexibility for communities to tailor permissions while empowering users to curate their experience.
All I know about it is that Mastodon offers this feature and is one that users have requested in a few very popular issues.
Federating communities is a manual process so in smaller instances you don’t see as much content as in larger ones since there aren’t many users subscribing to external communities.
The Scaled sort in the All view displays only abandoned communities without any votes. On the Subscribed view, it’s essentially the same as the New sort.
Profile Privacy Settings #4223: Allow users to control who can view their profile feed/activity, with options like public, visible only to friends/followers, or completely private.
Community name in post URL #875
Make post URLs more meaningful #2097
Include the community name and post title in the URL for better readability and context when sharing links to posts. For example, instead of https://example.com/post/12345, use a format like https://example.com/community-name/post-title/12345.
It’s crazy when I see this super popular issues closed without completion by the main devs. It makes me feel like they don’t care at all about user feedback.
It certainly doesn’t help that Lemmy had and still has absolutely no sensible way to actually surface niche communities to its subscribers. Unlike Reddit, it doesn’t weigh posts by their relative popularity within the community but only by total popularity/popularity within the instance. There’s also zero form of community grouping (like Reddit’s multireddits) - all of which effectively eliminates all niche communities from any sensible main view mode and floods those with shitty memes and even shittier politics only. This pretty much suffocated the initially enthusiastic niche tech communities I had subscribed to. They stood no chance to thrive and their untimely death was inevitable.
There are some very tepid attempts to remedy this in upcoming Lemmy builds, but I fear it’s too little too late.
I fear that Lemmy was simply nowhere near mature enough when it mattered and it has been slowly bleeding users and content ever since. I sincerely hope I’m wrong, though.

Nice! What made you decide to write it? Where can I find out which instances offer that UI?
I stopped using Lemmy due to instances blocking each other. I wanted to view content from specific instances, but none of the instances between the most popular ones allowed me to see all the content. I had to create multiple accounts, which made navigating between them cumbersome. This experience was more frustrating for me than any issues I’ve encountered on Reddit. I believe users should have more freedom to choose the content they see without having to create their own instance or manage multiple accounts.
Just don’t post about it in the fediverse community. Damn hypocrites.
I like the idea of custom feeds that allow adding users, communities, instances or tags. That way you can personalize better what you see. So adding a single instance to the feed would be like looking at the local feed from that instance, but you could make many more kinds of feeds.
