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.
Multi-communities.
So you can create a list of communities over various instances and show all posts in them as if they were one.I’d like to be able to follow users like microblog platforms, which would enable mastodon content to show up in an organic-feeling way on Lemmy. This would make it so I don’t need to keep mastodon around to see anouncments from like two people and it would just overall improve interoperability between different feddiverse platforms.
Being able to actually migrate an account, not just settings and follows etc but your post and comment history etc. All data
Followong a user.
Tags for posts
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.
Consolidation of communities with a sort of overlay.
Mods can choose to mirror the whole community. This way you can have a sort of unified community happening between instances instead of happening on each island.
Also mods can move a discussion if needed.Just recently I have seen a three separate discussions across three different c/technology communities.
Lemmy does pretty much everything I want from this medium of communication. Wishlist features would be:
- A better way of linking posts, I see that there is an extenstion that fixes this issue but it would be nice for new users if this was built in
- Account migrations
- Multi Communities
- A way to assign a #tag to a community. For example If I make c/MMA then I would want every post there to federate with the tag #MMA and every post tagged #MMA to show up in c/MMA
- A way of scheduling posts within lemmy.
- Maybe a little icon that shows where things are being posted from. So if I see a user with a mastodon showing up in the feed with a formatting mistake ill know why.
- An option to follow a thread so you can be notified of all new comments even when its not your thread.
- It would be nice for instances to have a monthly server cost that tracks donations. I couldnt find any examples except reddit but something like this sitting in the sidebar would help show users how much these stuff all costs. There could be one for instances and development cost goals.
Show me a list of posts and comments I upvoted.
The API supports that, but not all UIs do yet.
It’s on my “to do” list for my app.
Some way of linking to a post somewhere on Lemmy that will open up the post in your logged in instance of Lemmy.
I actually think some URI like
fediverse:...might be better. You know, something like themailto:coolguy.comURI that works across all supported email websites or even apps.deleted by creator
That helps, but honestly, it shouldn’t be a client workaround.
