Is this guy mentally ill or something or has too much money and publicity gone to his head? Saying people don't need RAM in computers? I mean, if he's got a better and cheaper solution, then bring it to the world stage - maybe it could actually benefit humanity, who knows. But if you don't stop spewing nonsense just for publicity, media attention, and a stock market boost...

Money can't buy brain cells, so you don't need to worry about losing any.

    I would love to see a feature in Summit that shows how many times a post has been viewed, similar to Reddit.

    Currently, upvotes and comments give us some idea of how a post is performing, but they don't tell us how many people have actually viewed it. A post might receive hundreds of views but only a few upvotes or comments, and there's currently no easy way to measure that reach.

    • Post view counts: Display the total number of views on each post.

    • View statistics: Allow users to see how many people have viewed their own posts.

    • Real-time or periodic updates: Keep view counts updated as more people see a post.

    • Privacy-friendly implementation: Count views without tracking individual users or exposing their identities.

    I think this would be a great addition to Summit. It would help users understand how far their posts are reaching, whether they're sharing discussions, news, questions, or other content.

    I understand that Lemmy is a federated platform, so implementing this feature might require additional work to track views across different instances. It would be worth exploring how to handle that while respecting user privacy.

    What do you think? Would you like to see Reddit-style post view counts in Summit app?

    Canadian real estate’s about to get rebranded the United States of Israel 🇮🇱💀

    Israelis show up, buy the land, move in, and casually drop “God told us this is ours now” while the rest of the country watches the deed change hands.

    Welcome to the new neighbourhood, Canada.

    I would like to request a private profile option on Lemmy.

    Currently, users who value their privacy have limited control over how others view their profiles and activity. It would be great to have an option that allows users to make their profiles private, giving them more control over their personal information and online presence.

    Features i like to suggest:

    • Private profiles: Allow users to restrict public access to their profile activity.

    • Activity visibility controls: Let users choose whether their posts, comments, and communities they participate in are publicly visible through their profile.

    • Follower or access approval: If feasible, allow users to approve who can view their profile activity.

    • Default privacy settings: Give users the option to choose their preferred profile visibility when creating an account.

    I understand that Lemmy is a federated, open-source platform, and implementing private profiles could present technical challenges because posts and comments may already be distributed across different instances. However, having additional privacy controls would be a valuable improvement for users who want more control over their digital footprint.

    Privacy should be an important part of the fediverse experience. I hope the developers and community will consider this feature for a future release.
