Just wanted to ask: what do you not like in Lemmy (Lemmy as communities, server and clients)?

This is just a way for me to get some feedback from the community.

    As a site admin, I really wish it was easier to modify the content on the front page. We’ve had some interesting ideas over here, like linking to some simple online games and posting high scores for the site, or maybe just adding some analytics boxes to the site. But for us that’s difficult.

    A lot of our ideas come from a shared experience in BBSes from the 90s, where they had game doors, ascii art, and other fun site-specific elements. Technology has changed, but there are modern equivalents to all of those things that we wish we could implement.

        Heck yeah! I can’t believe how popular that game was. Every time I bring up this era, everyone talks about it.

        I was a big Tradewars 2002 fan, myself. You can still play it, which is what made me start to think about connecting it to Lemmy somehow. That, and Nethack.

      I’m wondering if you could hook that into the idea of a wiki because an instance could have one as well as a community.

      I’m thinking, in the same way a community has a collapsible panel about it (which could become the front page of its wiki), so an instance could have the same. You could then link through from there to other wiki pages or external resources as you liked.
