  • I think most orgs would want to own the server and for messages to not be end-to-end encrypted. All connections to the server would still be encrypted.

    That would be more in-line with slack or something.

    If you’re referring to federation specifically then that’s going to get pretty complicated with security policies.




  • Something which notifies you whenever a new comment or reply is made to a selected post/comment, so that you can keep track of any new conversation.

    Something like this would be awesome as a core Lemmy feature IMO. It would essentially turn a post (or maybe any comment tree?) into a matrix style room. Lemmy is actually decent for long term discussion (e.g. helping someone with a problem), but not if there are more than two people involved.















  • Many of the files have been created by hand with a hex editor, thus there is no better “source code” than the files themselves.

    I don’t buy that. There would have been some rationale behind the contents that could be automated, like “compressed file with bytes 3-7 in the header zeroed”.

    You also probably don’t need these test files to be available in the environment where the library itself is built. There are various ways you could avoid that.

    I do agree about the autotools stuff though.

    Minor differences in those files are perfectly normal as the contents of them are copied in from the shared autoconf-archive project, but every distro ships a different version of that, so what any given thing looks like will depend on the maintainer’s computer.

    This seems avoidable. We shouldn’t be copying code around like that.
