Often, its asked what the fediverse or lemmy needs more of in terms of content, but are there any specific features or functionality you really feel are lacking?

    rather than allowing edits for invisible edits for X minutes, couldn’t your client just delay actually sending it for X minutes allowing to cancel or edit freely until that point?

    Gmail allows a similar feature and it seems safer in a distributed system than relying on everyone else to respect what happens after you send a raw message and an edit right after

      Implementing this like Gmail would mean doing it server-side. Handling it in the client would be more error-prone, since your device would have to have a good connection in the future, and if it doesn’t, handle retries and make sure never to double-post.
