deadpoetWhat's your feature suggestions for lemmy?
tallwookieeasily subscribe links - like, click on it and then subscribe, not the current method (which totally functions but its cumbersome and unwieldly).
fratermususer notes/tags editable anywhere the username shows, and shown next to the username thereafter.
xffxe4When 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.
I like this one. Posted instance mentions were doing my head in as a newbie.
MiddleWeighYea, on jerboa the links open in web browser, tried to set it to open in jerboa but it crashes the app.
I would LOVE to be sent right to the c/ homepage where I can sub right in jerboa, no links or search.
KNovaHopefully a multi-community (multi Reddit type) feature
Highlight new comments (if there's already a way to do this please let me know as I'm brand new here)
sleepyToniaDo you mean, sorting by new? This can be done in a specific post's comments:
And in the global view: (It's all in French, sorry 'bout that š ) From what I've seen, they pop up automatically and you can have notifications enabled in your browser.

I meant more like when you re-open a thread you've read before and there are x new comments. It would be nice to have those comments highlighted so they're easy to find. Sorting by new works but only for top level comments.
I'm used to it coming from Sync for Reddit. See the green comments with dots:
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 auto refresh feed.
The mental cartwheels required to fathom why that's even physically possible are almost beyond me.
Ability to hide posts

ShySparkmark all as read in the inbox would be good also an easyer way to upload pictures too (unles s im dumb and made an error) also flairs and diffrent themes, as you can see im a noob.
For me, I'm using jerboa app, in my inbox I can click the little double check mark button in top right and it moves them all to Read
kaniI'd like to be able to set the default view to sort by new in subscribed communities, currently it defaults back to active/local.
Ways to group communities to browse at once rather than just local, all, and subscribed. A multi-Lemmy if you will.
Yeah I just mentioned this in another comment. IMO this is the way to solve the "37 /c/selfhosted communities" problem. Just provide a way to subscribe to all of them in one go.
More of an app than a platform feature, but the ability to collapse all child comments.
ZangooseOn Jerboa at least you can do this by tapping on the comment
True, but I mean for all comments in the thread at once.
If you tap the top comment, it also hides all of the replies under it. Am I misunderstanding what you mean by thread?
Maybe I'm missing something, but, for example: This post has 53 comments as of when I write this. If I tap on my initial comment, it does collapse all replies under it. Same if I tap on any of the other 53 top level comments. However, I'm looking for is something that collapses all replies under all top level comments, so that I see just the 53 and can dig into those replies when interested.

Iām actually curious the reason why Lemmy does not have a karma equivalent.
I donāt miss it since I rarely checked my reddit karma but it does have pros and cons.
User flairs!
There is an open issue already for some time. Hopefully with the new user influx this gets more attention. Certain communities, like sports, feel incomplete without flairs.
an ability to re-order search results, eg in the communities list page having it so that we can click on a column and have the results sort according to that column, or alphabetically or most recent.
and some way of filtering the results would be good as well
the ability to create communities in other instances than the one that our accounts are in. i'd rather use a server in my local region than have to go to the other side of the planet where there's a populated server
Why not just make the community in your local instance?
that local instance is aussie.open for connection speed reasons, but it doesn't allow creation of communities. that means i'v had to make this accound as well in order to create the communities, but this instance is hellishly lagged for me and i get much faster speed from my regionally local instance
Custom CSS themes, for the main interface, but also maybe on a per-community basis? I liked most of what I'd see on Reddit.
Jerboa could use a hide post option from RedReader.
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.
Aeroatrixa way to make the screen take the full space without whitespace, like old.reddit, in the settings
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.
In the meantime you can use Stylus, there are styles already supporting this, basically it's just setting the navbar position to fixed.
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 itās on and having it there so prominently causes confusion about itās importance.
I can see why it has the server focus but Iād 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 ādistributed Redditā so maybe I just donāt get it.
The ability to merge/join communities across instances. Right now, there's lots of duplicated communities - which isn't a big problem, but I feel that it'll hinder adoption as it fragments the audience for a given topic.
I was concerned about this but I've made peace with it. It's just the nature of the fediverse.
Basically people just need to subscribe to all of them, which is the natural response to seeing multiple communities with the same name.
I'm concerned that linking communities might be an attempt to make lemmy emulate something that it's not.
I haven't really thought this through but an alternative would be groups of communities. Like one click to subscribe to a curated group of all the /c/selfhosted communities.
The people would have to communicate and agree on terms, which is a positive in its own way I think. But as you know, some people don't wanna give up power.
Over time people will find which fragment they like the best and each will developed its own culture. Some will combine I'm sure.
There needs to be a way to link to a post in an instance agnostic way.
For example, this post is in [email protected] and the id is 1255605, but that id number won't work on any other instance.
If someone shares a link with me like https://lemmy.ml/post/1255605 that will take me to lemmy.ml, where I'm not logged in. If I have an account on lemmy.world then the only way for me to comment on this post is to navigate to lemmy.world/c/[email protected] manually and then literally look at the feed to find this post. It's a pain in the butt for new / current threads but will be a huge pain for older threads.
My only issue is the search function to find and subscribe to communities, and links are opening up on browser and not jerboa.
Other than that I'm having a fantastic experience.
