  • The only thing I can see that would be helpful would be something that visually distinguishes that something is a spoiler; a color, a spoiler icon, etc.

    Whatever I put here is your only indication

    that this is secret text

    Visual cues feel important to being able to assess what I am looking at as unless I read this post, it wouldn’t have been clear to me that this is a spoiler.

    Thanks for everything you do for this app. To me, it’s the Lemmy standard for a fantastic app and has made leaving Reddit simple.






  • I’m with you there. This is one of those problems that I wish someone could easily solve but I’m really not holding my breath. That seems like the tricky bit where it hasn’t been figured out technically within the platform. While it seems like you could solve the problem by basically being able to create meta communities where all communities with the same name get grouped as one large virtual community, it doesn’t solve for cases where two are named different but are the same topic and then it opens things up to abuse where an off topic community is created.

    So then it becomes something where communities need to choose to federate with each other but how? Who gets final say?

    Not to mention how things get handled when there are multiple posts on the same topic. Are they merged? Are the duplicates removed? What about comments? What happens on the backend? The sheer amount of code one would need to modify to have such a feature would just be overwhelming I would think so it’s not surprising it hasn’t been done yet.
