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.
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.
I like this one. Posted instance mentions were doing my head in as a newbie.
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.
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.
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.
I think it’s mainly to discourage reposting for the sake of reposting. On top of that, lemmy doesn’t go out of it’s way to improve user retention, which I believe karma and the incessant notifications about your comments being upvoted, were about.
Edit: added some stuff
deleted by creator
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
a way to make the screen take the full space without whitespace, like old.reddit, in the settings
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
Highlight new comments (if there’s already a way to do this please let me know as I’m brand new here)
Jerboa could use a hide post option from RedReader.
user notes/tags editable anywhere the username shows, and shown next to the username thereafter.
Copy all subscriptions from one account to another, adapting as necessary across servers.
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
Why not just make the community in your local instance?
that local instance is aussie.open for connection speed reasons, but it doesn’t allow creation of communities. that means i’v had to make this accound as well in order to create the communities, but this instance is hellishly lagged for me and i get much faster speed from my regionally local instance
