I want to suggest adding a feature that lets user post on their profile rather than communities
Also i is live chat possible here in future?
Lemmy, not lemmy.world
GitHub is not git. LW is not Lemmy.
Aside: unless you want to deliberately confuse your users, this is a perfect example of why it’s not a good idea to brand your service based on the technology it uses.
I don’t think that “live chat” is fitting for Lemmy. It is an aggregator in the first place. There are already other FOSS services for live chatting, such as Matrix. IMHO, adding such a feature to Lemmy would be out of the scope of the project and probably result in a bad and dysfunctional implementation.
I agree that lemmy shouldn’t take it on itself, but I do think deeper integration into other foss systems is not a bad plan. Being able to integrate a matrix instance directly with a lemmy instance would be fancy and I think exploring stuff like that further could be the key to finally getting us beyond just seeking parity with reddit.
If Lemmy were to integrate with Matrix the storage costs would explode exponentially, the two systems are notoriously heavy! (Lemmy is consistently the only service that fills more than 1 GB of storage in my browser and refuses to clean up).
XMPP is the true inheritor of IRC when it comes to standard, federated, self-hostable chat / messaging.
What sort of integration would you have in mind that is not achievable with a simple web link?
FWIW: communick does offer some form of integration. Members get one account on Lemmy, Matrix and Mastodon, and they can login with the same username/password on all of them.
What is this, reddit? No thank you.
If you want it that badly, implement it and send a pull request, or maintain a fork.
I think mbin has microblogging and or profile posts. That’ll get you part way to where you’re going. And you can still subscribe to lemmy (“threadiverse”) communities.
Live chat doesn’t really fit though I don’t see why it would have large storage requirements. Posting on profiles might be a good idea though.
Either of those would be a general Lemmy thing, not specifically lemmy.world which is just one instance.
