  • This feels more like a feature that the Lemmy server should implemented. At best the client can provide the information, but I think having Summit enforce post limits would be a terrible idea.

    As for showing some sort of infographic for post frequency, I can’t immediately think of any way to implement this without it feeling a bit naggy/annoying to the end user. With Summit’s focus on configurability, I’m sure users will want to be able to turn such a feature off and if all the heavy posters simply turn it off then I don’t feel like it would be worth implementing.

    I’m going to veto this idea for now unless someone can come up with a better way to implement this.





  • Ah, this is a bug with Summit.

    The change is, before this release Summit would insert a markdown link to a person/community when a mention suggestion is tapped. After the change Summit will instead insert a Lemmy specific mention when a mention suggestion is tapped.

    The inserted text itself is different but the actual difference is they use different mechanisms to mention a user. The old way inserts a hard link which would link to the instant the user is on. The new way inserts a mention, it relies on Lemmy to generate an appropriate link based on the instance you are currently on.

    In other words the old method inserted an absolute link (ie. Everyone will be directed to the same page no matter which instance they are on) where as the new method is relative (users are directed to a different page based on which instance they are on).
