• The message about choosing a language when making a post is not clear. Like, is selecting a language good or bad for visibility versus using the default "undetermined."

• What are the best practices for uploading an image on a post here, what about technical posts that need a gallery, gifs, mp4, etc.?

• as far as possible sub communities: astrophotography, telescopes, bicycle, bikewrench, arduino, esp32, hardware hacking, fedora, Linux hardware, and electrical engineering were some I regularly browsed or participated in on deddit. Not that these are needed, but I wish I could drag these communities over here

On Jerboa app on Android, the feed/dashboard/frontpage has tiny font size, and when opening a post, the font size is huge. Changing the font size in settings affects both at the same time.

I was setting up my account earlier today and I tried to set up 2 factor authentication but experienced some errors. I clicked the box and reloaded my settings but I wasn't able to enter an email or anything into the authentication method.

• (low priority) on this page: https://lemmy.world/post/36032 the vote count is all over the place each time I view it while logged in. I promise I'm not such a snowflake that votes really matter to me. I'm more concerned about the way this will impact new user confidence on the platform when their engagement feedback is questionable. Someone that doesn't know any better may assume that the fluctuating numbers they see are faked to improve engagement and retention. Over the hours since I made the linked post, the votes seem to fluctuate between something like 20-25 on some page views, 40-60 on others, some are around 200-220, and others are ranging from 400-420. It seems random and uncorrelated as far as I can tell. Like selecting a reply from someone on my account, and viewing, does not seem to show the count as it was when they replied. I thought maybe it was fluctuating based on Local versus All instances, but that doesn't seem consistent either. Just scrolling down the page and back up to the counter after a few minutes can live update and change the count. I am viewing from a Chromium derivative Vanadium on mobile/Graphene OS (AOSP/live updates and current).

• secondly, I tried reposting a short 32 second mp4 clip and get an error, something about json. Is there a way to do video here? I could try setting up an account on your peertube if that works for cross posting, or I could use my workstation to convert the file to a gif if that will work. What is the best way to post something like this? (https://old.reddit.com/r/lifehacks/comments/yxz1jl/upcycled_soapbox_life/)

• I've tried to post this message a half dozen times here and have had no luck...until now. Okay, this one is probably because I got to this page after clicking the link to here from the link on the following page: https://lemmy.world/post/37906 For some reason this sequence makes this page (I am editing this post on now) act weird. It adds the 'you need to login' banner at first but then it goes away. The prompt to add a comment comes up, but oddly the preview button is missing in this instance. To make this comment stick to the post I had to go to the Lemmy.world homepage and select this post directly. Then I could copy and paste the message, could see the preview button, and posting stuck. If you see this, editing works too,.. apparently.

I've also faced a decent amount of lag and freezing, but so far nothing too dramatic or can't be refreshed. Just kinda wrote it off as growing pains.

Creating a new community, and the form is completely filled out, but when I press "create" it circles back to the top of the form. Also what is the difference between Name and Display Name. Name is what it keeps highlighting.

I have an issue to share and it's not major, but some of the links are wrong depending on the UI.

For instance, in the default UI, the link for your Privacy Policy page is This, but it should be This Instead (Note the trailing hyphen on the bad/dead link).

Of course, that's not a major concern and it is very minor, but misplaced legal docs could be problematic long-term.

Would it be possible to implement multifactor authentication as an optional log-in step? Preferably supporting authenticator app and hardware tokens rather than just SMS as SMS is now considered an insecure authentication method.

It could be useful to have sub-communities like Usenet had newsgroup hierarchies. E.g. within c/tools there could be c/tools/drills, c/tools/saws, or whatever. On deaddit (formerly called reddit) they end up making dozens of related top level subreddits scattered around but I think it is good to add some kind of organizational structure.

@ruud FYI, not sure if something is backed up between lemmy dot world and the mastodon server I'm on. I follow the c/gunners community from mastodon, and was getting updates in my home feed until yesterday. Posts (like this) are viewable, and can be replied to, by pasting the URL into search, but they're no longer showing up in the home feed.

(edit) and I see the reply shows up on lemmy 🤔​
