easy subscribe links - like, click on it and then subscribe, not the current method (which totally functions but its cumbersome and unwieldly).
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.
I got permabaned just before i could reach 10K karma :(
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.
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.
User and post flares!
Jerboa could use a hide post option from RedReader.
Hopefully a multi-community (multi Reddit type) feature
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.
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.
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.

The mental cartwheels required to fathom why that was even made physically possible are almost beyond me.
Ability to hide posts
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
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.
