Fediverse

Most communities are almost dead, we need to make a effort to pull enmass people from reddit to here

I think polls could be useful.

NSFW only filter. Flip the existing one, add that as radio button with the NSFW block.

A multi-community feature that allows you to group communities into a single feed is urgently needed.

I'd like the ability to block users when I stumble over an imbecile while browsing, but I still need to see the blocked user's comments in groups that I moderate.

At present, user blocks are absolute, and don't take moderation into consideration. This means, since I moderate a group, I can't block users. If I do, and they later post to the group I moderate, I won't see their posts or comments.

The issue with Lemmy's "all feed" is that the largest or most popular instances tend to dominate what appears there, which undercuts the ability of users on niche or smaller instances to discover content truly relevant to their specific interests. This make different instances feel less distinct and reduces the value of joining a niche instance. This lack of meaningful, diverse niche content makes federation a moot point—if every instance is just a clone of the same meme and political noise, users gain nothing distinct from joining a smaller or niche instance, turning Lemmy into a less convenient, more fractured Reddit without the depth or polish users expect.

Thanks for reaching out to the community. Here are mine.

1. universal tagging (when you friend or follow a user, whatever they tag (comms or users) is shared with you until you unfollow them
2. community aggregators. For big communities, merge crossposts automatically on bigger communities like !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.ml and !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.world and !dataisbeautiful@mander.xyz and !dataisbeautiful@lemmit.online
3. better federated moderation. Notifications of mod actions not just on your own instance, but everywhere. When a post is deleted by a mod for a reason, include the OP in the mod message so you can rewrite or remove the offending part of the message and repost the essence. I can imagine lots of scenarios where devs/mods don’t think that’s a good idea, but some of us didn’t read all the rules and didn’t mean any offense.
4. Deeper publicly available voting analytics (on post level first but also comment level would be good) when you click on […] next to the metadata, get a voting pie chart that shows which instance the upvotes and downvotes came from. Even an barebones analysis tool that checks if a disproportionate % of up or down votes came from an instance that is rather small or only recently federated.
5. This may be client related, but push notifications on comments, mod actions and DMs would be nice too.

Don't use github, don't post like an AI, don't compare to piefed without constructive criticism.

I don't like anybody else here. Please leave.

Personal labels/tags or whatever they are called for both users and communities would be awesome to have in the standard lemmy front end. I think some apps or other formats might have them, but I do like the default lemmy interface and they would be extremely handy to have saved by an account for personal reminders.

Some examples would be the ability to set personal reminders for uncommon rules on specific communities or who has good takes on some random topic. There are just so many of both and it can be hard to keep similarly named things straight.

The ability to block posts by keyword would be nice. The ability to merge communities and have lemmy move the subscriptions over to the merged community, mastodon does something similar with moving accounts so it is possible.

Remotely open post, similar to remote follow

I think this would greatly reduce confusion for new users when they click a Lemmy link and end up on a different instance

Lemmy needs a hierarchy similar to Usenet, or a way to tag each c/ with keywords to make it easier for the user or client software to block huge swaths of topics the user is not interested in.

Examples: Memes. Sports. News. Politics. Entertainment. Music.

It would improve signal to noise ratio in the All feed, allowing users to find new content they are interested in, rather than simply 100 dupes of things they are not.
