The community-based project of passion to enhance lemmy is already here… it’s lemmy.
This isn’t reddit. There isn’t a big black box and company around the service that is preventing the community from making it what they want it to be.
Sure there can be flavors, but I’d guess if there’s the type of consensus around the usefulness as there is with RES, then why wait for a separate project to shoehorn features on top of lemmy when the folks behind lemmy seem quite receptive to contributions?
That’s not entirely true. One of the lead developers of Lemmy almost blocked infinite scrolling being implemented before the other lead developer stepped in and approved it. This can absolutely happen with other features, other features can get blocked.
There’s nothing wrong with having additional optional features through an addon, especially when those features are optional and also don’t have to go through an approval process. That’s the power of addons.
I’m still waiting for a community-based project of passion like Reddit Enhancement Suite.
Lemmy Enhancement Suite when?! lol
Lemmy Enhancement Suite of Services.
LESS is more.
I’m not trademarking that, but please @me in the credits.
