Fediverse

The ability to view posts that I upvoted

Probably need to be client side tbh but when someone mass posts the same article across multiple communities and instances I only see it once with a list of where its posted if you go into it.

Instance blocking/defederate on a user level

• Low hanging: user defined multi-communities
• Hard (high hanging fruit): allow users to look and behave like communities so that we can follow each other (and masto users too ) as we would normal communities, where each user has their own (or multiple!) “community” they can populate and moderate as they see fit.

add some damn good mod tools. lemmy will die if the user base grows and the mod tools do not.

Less community repetition. I feel like it spreads out potential members and makes each community smaller with repetitive content. I wish communities could be more linked so they share content and members.

Alt text for blind people in images, a la Mastodon.

The ability to easily link to a specific post or comment in a way that works across instances/clients, like you can with communities.

I'd get rid of the bots that repost content and comments from Reddit.

Support for user blocking by instance.

Link communies. When two communies are linked they act like one with multiple names distributed on multiple instances. This would solve the dublicate communities on different instance problem.

Hide read posts only from the frontage. There should be an option to have them visible in their community itself to refer back later.

Ability to migrate account or a community to another instance.

Some sort of organizational hierarchy or tagging system so the user could block wide swaths of communities like sports, celebrities, music, or whatever they aren’t interested in; without having to block each community individually.

The pie in the sky answer is “get all my friends and relations to use it.”

More realistically: I wish I could follow or friend a person here.

I'd make the culture more like the rest of the fediverse, instead of reddit like as it is now. Too many ex reddit folk have brought the bad parts of reddit culture with them

I want a consistent identity on the internet, where all of my fediverse accounts are linked

I'd like the "show context" link to work. Maybe that's just me? It used to work but no longer. It'd be helpful when I go to a post from the reply notification thing. (viewing this on the web in Firefox)

Your own posts should show in your profile even you have Show Read Posts off. And there should be an easy visible toggle while browsing.

Increased participation in software development, UI design, UX design, documentation and guides (including wiki and join-lemmy).

To make all the other things become reality :]

Lemmy has an extremism problem. Partly because of the lack of moderation tools (which is why a lot of mods supposedly left reddit in the first place) and partly because of the lack of moderation, or straight up complacency of some mods.

Federated communities, so that if an instance goes down, the communities it's hosting don't just stop working for everyone else.

There should be "Last 3 hours" in the drop down menu. 6 hours just shows you stuff you saw 5 hours ago, and 1 hour shows like 3 posts.

personal user sort method for post replies

eg: users I upvote more get higher placement in threads when I sort them this way. This would replicate 'algorithms' used on other sites.

The ability to hide some communities I mod from the All feed.

This is probably not 100% lemmy's fault but interoperability with other branches of the fediverse could be better. For example, i can create posts and subscribe to lemmy communities from my pleroma instance but federation of posts and discussions from lemmy to pleroma is somewhere inbeteween "unreliable" and "nonexistant", depending on the moon phase or whatever. Sorting that stuff out would be crucial for making lemmy communities a real fediverse-spanning, platform-agnostic thing.

Removal of hexbear and lemmygrad. Perhaps they should piss off to their own website and let people with working brains shitpost in peace
