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?
You must log in or register to comment.
Some way of linking to a post somewhere on Lemmy that will open up the post in your logged in instance of Lemmy.

Tags for posts
I want to be able to put alt text on an image post upload. Accessibility is cool.
Auto mark reply notifications as read.
why? dont you want to read them?
No, I mean clicking on them and reading them doesn’t mark them as read. You have to manually click the “Mark all as read” button or individually click the “mark as read” arrow button on each of the comments.
I’d like to be able to mark specific top level posts as ‘don’t show me this again’.
Comment type taxonomy:
-funny -informative -offtopic -redundant
Etc
Voters can select a category
Now I can browse in serious mode, funny mode, etc
Found the Slashdotter.
show me reports I have made.
Alongside others mentioned (tags/flairs, multi-communities, keyword filtering, etc.) another feature I’d like to see added/improved is notification settings.
Something like…
In account settings:
- Enable/disable all notifications.
- Enable/disable post reply notifications.
- Enable/disable comment reply notifications.
For others’ posts/comments and per posts/comments:
- Enable/disable post reply notifications.
- Enable/disable comment reply notifications.
With those settings you could more easily tune out all notifications or only opt into those you’d like to see, and opt out of those you’re done with (say your post/comment got popular and you’ve had your fill from the replies).
Unrelated to notification settings, it would also be nice to be able to block communities from the front page via the … More menu in the default web UI.
Post title translations.
Add technical depth by allowing communities to select a default “sort by most recent comment” like a forum. This is the key difference between ADHD content that focuses on time versus forums that focus on depth. Then find a way to integrate these deep threads into the Allfeed. Bridge the gap between forums with depth and PITA user names versus link aggregators with ADHD but recent info and broad scope.
Picture Albums that you can scroll through on an app.
Block community in the 3 dots menu. No I don’t know what that’s called. I’m using firefox if that helps. I don’t want an app thank you.
Filter posts based on a keywords from the title/content.
Some way of grouping Communities other than by name (not very useful). E.G. search on ‘Climate’ and you don’t get the name of one of the busiest communities.
In other words, group them a step up the taxonomy. Create 10 or 15 groups (sci/tech, history, music, culture, media, nature, issues, locations…), see what mods have to say about that list. (Could do worse than the Wikipedia taxonomy.)
I’ve said before, but part of my biggest gripe with Lemmy is the process of curating a decent feed. A lot of new users will see the mess of posts in All, including political extremists, an ever growing list of fetish porn communities, and bottom of the barrel shitposts, and they won’t be interested in spending a couple hours blocking and subscribing to things before the feed is usable.
One way to address this is to give instance admins better tools to curate a default subscriptions and block list for their users. Allow admins to create what they think is the most accessible feed, but also allow users to customize it as they see fit.
