This. On r*ddit I used to upvote posts, and save really important ones to organise them. Maybe even some way to organize bookmarked posts.
Don't know if that's a client side thing or not.
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.
If they use the crosspost feature this should already happen. Of course no apps support that yet to my knowledge.
Instance blocking/defederate on a user level
This PR in lemmy will implement the issue PR #3869. Looking at the thread, the devs have completed the work and waiting for successful testing.
Oh wow…. This is so nice to see. Thanks for the heads-up!
This. So much this. I’m about to figure out how to make open server just do I can block all the hentai and furry porn servers.
- 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.
As long as this is opt-in, I'm okay with this. I personally don't want to have followers.
Follow requests! A standard feature from the microblogging side all other software already support.
In fact, all follows in ActivityPub are follow requests by default (normal follows are simulated by just auto-accepting all follows serverside). That's why when servers are overloaded you end up with the "subscription pending" message, as the Accept/Follow
activity never reaches your server.
You can follow people and do regular posts on kbin in case you didn't know yet.
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.
I've had a thought, what if clients allowed users to mix and match communities so that they show as one? You could bundle all the gaming communities into one for instance. You'd still see where each publication originates from but they would appear in the same feed
The ability to easily link to a specific post or comment in a way that works across instances/clients, like you can with communities.
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.
I'd get rid of the bots that repost content and comments from Reddit.
Hide read posts only from the frontage. There should be an option to have them visible in their community itself to refer back later.
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.
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
Yeah, the feeling of chatting with considerate adults is slipping. I've started doing the Reddit thing of typing out a comment and then hitting the cancel button because I didn't want to deal with contrarians.
I totally agree. Lemmy had an awesome, friendly helpful vibe and the reddit exodus had a noticeably negative affect on the nature of the discourse. It became more nasty, more petulant more quipy, and more angsty. Now that people are here, I'm not at all saying they should leave, but maybe read the room and try to be a part of something better. The internet doesn't have to be a hostile place.
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 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.
I want a consistent identity on the internet, where all of my fediverse accounts are linked
That’sa bigger problem than lemmy. But also, yes.
Also a very precarious idea imo. It makes an easy target for social engineering, targeted marketing, etc.
I assume if a nefarious actor made an instance to sell behavioral data, they would have a field day if every account of a person was linked.
Edit: The idea in itself is good. For that we need to make assembly, sale and possession of behavioral data illegal.
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 :]
Federated communities, so that if an instance goes down, the communities it's hosting don't just stop working for everyone else.
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.
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.
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.
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
