.Donuts

A feature like this would be very helpful. Thinking of onboarding new users, you’ll want to be able to give them an experience that eases them into things.

A custom feed that allows new members to see a variety of the best that Lemmy has to offer would be a good start. Then, when they are comfortable with the platform and its dynamics, they can customise it further, or swap the newbie feed for their own custom filter (which practically would come down to community subscriptions, I suppose?)

Now instead of making this comment very long, I’ll put in an video game anology to make it a bit more digestible:

What we need is a tutorial area that showcases all the different things that the Lemmy endgame has to offer. Creating memes, sharing news, the art of shitposting, being a lurker, actual discussions vs just scrolling to see the funnies: all these things are enjoyed by different types of people, and before they can reclass and enjoy the wild open world of Lemmy, it would be good for them to get comfortable with the controls and settings in a relative safe space.

Would there be interest in the community for a Pinterest-like service on the Fediverse?

For sure, if only out of spite for Pinterest poisoning image search results with low quality, unusable junk.

I’d like to see actual content, with original credits and a way to credit them if it’s a repost. Repin?
