reply with features and bug fixes you’d like to see in Philthy, the lemmy fork that runs on this instance. no guarantees I’ll get to any of them soon, but particularly low-hanging fruit and well-liked features can be prioritized.

    I was percolating on this. And here’s a maybe-nasty workaround that may even be usable in federated manner (I have no idea if this is even viable, need to learn some AP)

    Internally store posts in raw and some kind of decorated-raw format, where the “decorator” is essentially some frontmatter that specifies rendering/renderer properties. Think <!-- renderbits: […..] -->\n\npostgoeshere

    Upside of this approach is that if it is federable (and again, dunno, will need to check still 😅), it can allow each instance to self-handle as needed, along with providing own fallbacks and stylemaps
