i see a lot of news about australian politics, news of seattle, darmstadt, brazil, … all places where i don’t live, where the posts aren’t relevant to me. it would be cool to be able to tag posts/communities with a geographical location so i can easily filter which posts are / aren’t probably relevant to me. in one setting in my profile, instead of having to block each community individually (there’s hundreds of them at this point)

    Lemmy puts up full-page advertisements for donations but a lot of that funding goes to running Lemmy.ml and seemingly only very little to actual code development.

    Please stop spreading misinformation. The server for lemmy.ml only costs ~70€ per month which is only 2% of the total donation amount (3336€). With Lemmy we care a lot about writing high-quality and bug-free code as well as offering a good user experience. All of that takes time to do well.

    Edit: For your information, only donations via Opencollective pay for lemmy.ml hosting. All other donation methods are exclusively paying for developer salaries.
