Hello users of Hexbear, there have been many changes and some drama the past few months.
The recent changes we've been making have been an attempt to create a more safe and welcoming environment for many demographics that have been overlooked in the past.
For any of our comrades that have been unintentionally hurt in this process, we apologise and hope to find a solution that accommodates as many people as possible while still meeting the needs of the marginalised groups who need a space like this the most.
The intent of this post is to provide a space for all users to air grievances with regard to the site. As well as provide suggestions for specific things that could be changed to address your grievance. Comments insulting the mod team or those without a specific means to address your problem may be removed. No commenter will be sitebanned, unless it clearly breaks the code of conduct.
No grievance really, but can we change the featured posts into something like an iframe situation where they could be scrolled through and appear separate from the rest of the post feed? Are iframes even a thing anymore? I'm dating the fuck out of myself with my archaic geocities coding knowledge. Just kinda spitballing here, as I've seen multiple posts about how there are so many megathreads things seem to get muddled. I feel like maybe that could tidy things up a bit, if it's even possible
heavily edited bc my original comment was an adhd hasty braindump, just like most of my posts
The reddit mobile web page actually handles it pretty well by making the pinned posts take up one side-scrolling iframe
I don't think I've noticed that but that's exactly the idea. Carcosa did say that's not something that's possible to create within Hexbear, though which sucks :/ If I knew how to code myself I'd do it for Lemmy so we could have it
That would require someone developing it for upstream lemmy, good idea though. Sadly we cannot rely on any feature request that requires development hence trying to find a solution with existing tools.
Ahhh I see, yeah I don't know how any of this coding/web development stuff works so had an inkling it might be way more laborious than just doing lol. By upstream you mean it couldn't be done through hexbear but the people who develop features for lemmy as a whole?
