Hey everyone! Exciting news: there’s now a Lemmy Issue Tracker community where you can share your ideas, suggestions, and collaborate with others. This community is more flexible than the GitHub repository when it comes to duplicate posts, so feel free to share any great ideas you come across. With nested comments and a voting system, discussions on Lemmy are more organized and easier to follow compared to GitHub.

By moving most issue discussions from GitHub to Lemmy, we can optimize developer time and foster increased user engagement. This approach aligns with developers’ preference to minimize interactions on issue trackers[1]. By reducing the flood of comments on GitHub, we can ensure that developers can efficiently address important issues.

So, what are you waiting for? Head over to the Lemmy Issue Tracker community and start sharing your ideas today!

    I think this could be very valuable for the community and the Lemmy devs. However, I believe to be successful, there needs to be a volunteer(s) who “sync” the community to the GitHub issues. We could automate this but that would make the situation worse. Here’s how I could imagine this working:

    When a new feature or bug is posted, the mod determines if this is duplicated or not. If so, they will reply to the post with a link to the previous post and lock the current one. If it is truly new, the community can vote and comment. After a week or so, if the community supports the new feature or fixing the bug, the mod will open a new GitHub issue with a summary of the community discussion and link to the discussion.

    This is a lot of work for the mods, but I believe it would really add value for both the Lemmy community and the devs.
