What does Lemmy lack?
Just wanted to ask: what do you not like in Lemmy (Lemmy as communities, server and clients)?
This is just a way for me to get some feedback from the community.

petroskoi, Dunno if this has been mentioned before, but I’d like a way to favourite a community, so that all its post will show up on the main page feed until I’ve seen them. Because I miss out on posts on some of the smaller communities I follow unless I go to that community’s page.
That way I’d be able to see 'em and try and make those smaller instances grow by commenting and upvoting.
ComptitiveSubset, A design that scales. Forwarding every like, post and comment to all federated servers will not scale well.

Maybe a little facetious on my part, but putting all of this on one line(I keep hitting Cancel when I meant to Post or Save an Edit). Easy fix would be to remove the word “Select”, &/or even replace the word “language” with the currently active language(En-US, in my case).
meldrik, Have federation happen on the instance level. What I mean is, the admin should be able to federate with the instance itself and all its communities.
NikolajC, Ability to hide posts and they stay hidden.
eldain, Lack of ads. And I mean that in a transparancy way, people are going to promote stuff (‘look at this cool project i’ve been working on’, ‘someone needs money in this crowdfunding, after i tell you this long, heartbreaking story’) it would be nice to see markings if a post has a direct benefactor and who that benefactor would be, to decide early if you want to engage.
wiki_me, I actually made a bunch of feature requests, there are a few reddit enhancement suite features i wanted but what i want most is the ability to incrementally read the comments of a post by marking comments as read (really useful if there is a subject i am particularly interested in or is particularly meaningful).
Mr_Pap_Shmear, Lemmy lacks luscious long licorices. Luscious long licorices are lacked by lemmy. What would lemmy lack if it didn’t lack luscious long licorices?
Dark_Arc, Video posts are something I kind of miss, particularly for gaming communities to share clips of gameplay
bigkix, Diversity in its population
hal_5700X, What do you mean by diversity?
itsmikeyd, People who use distributions other than Arch presumably.
lemann, Less techies probably lol. I’m one myself and kinda want to see more diverse posts too 😁
x4740N,
- individual option to block instances on your own account
- something similar to what reddit calls multireddits which are basically custom feed collections that allows you to save certain sibreddits to it to only have a feed of specific subreddits you can open up and browse
dylanTheDeveloper, A way to block porn instances
SmoothSurfer, Doesnt nsfw option work
dylanTheDeveloper, It does but titles still show up like “pegging my sister” or “5 nights inside Freddy” so I would like the option to block. I’m using liftoff but it looks like blocking doesn’t work
lemann, Five nights inside freddy 😭 the creativity of some nsfw post titles is too much
I usually block the user and the instance, but it gets tedious trying to browse /all like that
SmoothSurfer, Right, then we hope to get a feature to be able to ban communities. I guess there is no issue opened for that(as far as i can remember), it would be great to open a issue for that.
targetx, I can hide nsfw posts with sync for lemmy.
MachineFab812, (edited ) Alernately, a convenient way to view only SWF posts, both SFW & NSFW posts, or only NSFW posts …
For that last, and I am sure many other uses, a way to only see subscribed communities from a given instance - we shouldn’t have to create new accounts on every instance we consider useful enough to do this, and for those instances, they shouldn’t have to bear the burden of everyone who considers them so useful creating accounts with them and visitting them directly every time the fancy strikes; That’s effectively just punishing the most useful and popular instances with additional server costs.
EDIT: Forgot to mention: Lemmyverse.com community search already handles NSFW exactly as I am suggesting.
SpezHater69, Yeah and can you even block instances at all? I feel like every 10 posts I have to block another community that uses another language. With reddit I never had this issue
sugar_in_your_tea, Search
jack,
sugar_in_your_tea, Yes, that’s a workaround, but I generally want to search within a community for older posts, and going to a separate service sucks.
I use that site to find new communities, which is fine occasionally, but it shouldn’t be expected to be part of the normal workflow.
teagrrl, I don’t like pages, I want infinity scrolling. I want bigger previews on images without having to open the thread.
mojo, Let me group up custom lists of communities, just like custom subreddits on Reddit
wewbull, This is my number one. I hate having everything in one subscription list, battling each other for my attention. My local communities can’t stand up to lemmyworld or beehaw communities in my sub list, and “local” puts all local communities in, most of which don’t interest me.
That’s just one example though, and it’s not all about instances. News about energy policy can’t battle with world politics, so keeping the two in separate lists is important to me even though they are both remote sets of communities for me.
