easy subscribe links - like, click on it and then subscribe, not the current method (which totally functions but its cumbersome and unwieldly).
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.
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.
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.
Even better yet, Relay had a dedicated button that hid all posts you’d already viewed so you never had to worry about accidentally refreshing your feed as you could just hide everything and go back to where you were. It even had an option to automatically mark posts you scrolled past as read so you didn’t have to open posts that you were only going to read the title of.
There needs to be a way to link to a post in an instance agnostic way.
For example, this post is in !asklemmy@lemmy.ml 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/asklemmy@lemmy.ml 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.
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.
User and post flares!
Jerboa could use a hide post option from RedReader.
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 of an app than a platform feature, but the ability to collapse all child comments.
On 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?
I just tried it on jerboa! It works!
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.

It’s listed in the issue tracker as a bug, so it is recognized
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.
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.
Highlight new comments (if there’s already a way to do this please let me know as I’m brand new here)
Do 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 😅)
From what I’ve seen, they pop up automatically and you can have notifications enabled in your browser.
