You must log in or register to comment.
One potential PoC for a plug-in could be a “conversation listener”?
Something which notifies you whenever a new comment or reply is made to a selected post/comment, so that you can keep track of any new conversation.
Dunno how viable that sort of thing would be though … how could plugins affect the UI? Plus the plug-in would need its own database.
Beyond that, moderation seems like an obvious application?
Perhaps some sort of wiki like application, where posts containing certain tags or other markers get automatically organised someway in a separate post or page?

Something like this would be awesome as a core Lemmy feature IMO. It would essentially turn a post (or maybe any comment tree?) into a matrix style room. Lemmy is actually decent for long term discussion (e.g. helping someone with a problem), but not if there are more than two people involved.
awesome, I hope this can bring more devs on board
also I think we should organize behind a single GitHub tag, like
Other random ideas:
- Federation health monitor? Checks if posts are federating well.
- Activity summariser: eg shows how many posts/comments in selected communities since last visited.
- EDIT: I’m thinking of Phanpy’s catch-up feature here (it’s a web app for microblogging platforms and easily one of the best social media clients there is … if you haven’t seen the catchup feature go check it out).
- link localiser? Probably better in the backend (as suggested already). But it intercepts links to posts/comments and provides links to the local versions.
Registration hooks could be powerful
Integrating with patreon or opencollective where one of the rewards is access to supporter only lemmy communities might be a good use case for a plugin system.
So before a new post could be checking to make sure a membership of an external site is valid and after a new post could be updating a CMS? Interesting. Not sure it’s needed, but I’m sure when someone creates something I can’t think of, I’ll think it’s the best thing ever!
This could be an unpopular opinion but tipping crypto is also popular in other social media as Nostr or Farcaster.
