When people link other instances in posts or comments, it should automatically be translated to view it on your own instance instead of having to take it and search for it.

The mental cartwheels required to fathom why that was even made physically possible are almost beyond me.
easy subscribe links - like, click on it and then subscribe, not the current method (which totally functions but its cumbersome and unwieldly).
Ability to hide posts
Yea
Ways to group communities to browse at once rather than just local, all, and subscribed. A multi-Lemmy if you will.
This would be particularly useful now that a ton of tiny but similar places are springing up and vying for attention. That way you wouldn’t have to choose which to browse.
Better ways to explore the communities available. Also maybe improving the Android app ecosystem.
I’d like to be able to set the default view to sort by new in subscribed communities, currently it defaults back to active/local.
Highlight new comments (if there’s already a way to do this please let me know as I’m brand new here)
Opengraph tags for posts with embedded content need some work. That would fully fix interop between lemmy threads and Mastodon, as just one benefit.
Karma
/s
I’m actually curious the reason why Lemmy does not have a karma equivalent.
I don’t miss it since I rarely checked my reddit karma but it does have pros and cons.
Karma might work on a per instance basis, but if implemented on a federation wide scale you’d have to trust every instance. It would be far too easy to artificially increase your karma with your own rogue instance just by editing the database.
More for jerboa, but RIF had an option to confirm you want to go back/refresh feed. My palm accidentally hits the back button often, and I have to start scrolling back from the top.
Turn off porn on the “all” thread without having to block other NSFW content. It’s getting pretty bad blocking three or four porn communities every time I try to browse, but not being able to block the instances they’re all coming from.
When i scroll on the website, the website header does not follow. Meaning if I want to go somewhere or refresh the feed, i have to scroll way up to do so. Its a bit frustrating.
a way to make the screen take the full space without whitespace, like old.reddit, in the settings
Default to showing subscribed communities, rather than local ones. De-emphasise the server in certain areas (eg community list) - I think the community is more important than the server it’s on and having it there so prominently causes confusion about it’s importance.
I can see why it has the server focus but I’d argue most people want to join a general server with a wide reach rather than something isolated.
Though this is me trying to use Lemmy as “distributed Reddit” so maybe I just don’t get it.
