The mental cartwheels required to fathom why that was even made physically possible are almost beyond me.
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 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.
Jerboa could use a hide post option from RedReader.
Ways to group communities to browse at once rather than just local, all, and subscribed. A multi-Lemmy if you will.
easy subscribe links - like, click on it and then subscribe, not the current method (which totally functions but its cumbersome and unwieldly).
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.
Hopefully a multi-community (multi Reddit type) feature
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?
User and post flares!
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.
Edit: also worth saying that it seems like that the if the instance hosting a community goes away, so does the community.
Yes, it is worth saying. In fact I was scrolling for this. There should be a way to adopt refugee communities with all its posts from other instances so as to not lose all the information when the server goes down for good. It needs consensus, but only from admins of original community and the new host, this last to prevent server abuse. Also, if communities can get merged, the list of instances hosting the community would serve both as redundant backup and as distributed (instead of fragmented) service.
Ability for a user to place communities they find into a catagory/multi-lemmy that they can scroll. (Like a multi-reddit)
That way the fragmented communities all of the same subject spread across all the instances can be grouped together by the user.
User creats an awww multireddit/catagory or whatever and inside it they put [email protected], and [email protected], and [email protected].
Keeps things decentralized on the back end but ties things together for the user.
Maybe… we can call them Cities…? You know… since it’s made up of a bunch of communities?
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.
