A few questions:

1. Why did you name it Lemmy?
2. What have some of the biggest challenges been in developing a Reddit-like community platform?
3. What’s a big feature you hope to implement someday?

Massive amounts of cross-posting / re-posting of the same memes over and over again for klout farming. It’s seriously awful on Reddit.

This isn’t necessarily a bot in and of itself…but, could function as one. It would be really cool if bots could reshare content from other fediverse sources into a group automatically, but preserve attribution to the original posters.

Would be really handy for, say, automatically sharing PeerTube videos to a community dedicated to watching them.

Looking back, I always did stupid things as a kid.

This one time, when I was 12, I ran over a hornet’s nest with my bicycle. It was in the middle of the road, and I noticed it way too late. The thing cracked open, I realized what was happening, and went full speed downhill.

I decided to do something extra stupid, and stood on the handlebars in an attempt to jump off. The bike flipped, I fell, and my arm dragged all the way down the street before the bike fell on top of me.

In hindsight, there may have been no hornet’s nest.
