I haven’t seen anyone mention this yet, but the biggest feature for me would be an automatic redirect to your current instance if you click on a fedi link to another instance

It’s annoying when someone links a post from another instance, and I click the link but I can’t interact since I’m not logged in on that URL

Basically, if you’re on one instance and click on a link to a post from another instance, it should open that post on your current instance. The desktop version of Lemmy needs this too.

This is really my biggest point of contention with the fediverse atm. Needs to be easier to interact across instances without copying, pasting, editing, or typing in URLs

The ability to copy the URL of a video so I can paste it to NewPipe - or a setting where I can choose to use YouTube or NewPipe all red the time.

User option to block Lemmy server/instance

• Ability for a user to essentially block an entire servers posts. I don’t want to rely on my admin to block a server. I want the option to block all posts and the option to block all posts and comments. (Block or hide is fine)

Quick Scroll

• Button to scroll to next top comment that can be held to scroll to previous top comment (like apollo has)

Mute words

• Ability to block/mute words so for example i can block all communities with the word meme in it because i want to browse All to find new communities but i never want to see meme communities/posts.

Notes

• Add custom notes/tags to a user/community that can be color coded

Embed youtube/invidious/peertube that pins on scroll

• When opening a thread with a link to a youtube/peertube/inividious link have it embed and play in the app and when you go to the comments have the video stay pinned on top so you can keep watching while scrolling through the comments

• Order comments by hot/new/votes
• make it really obvious how to sign-up and sign-in
• linking between feddit should not open an in-app browser
• highlight comments/posts your account has made
• allow us to block all NSFW posts from the all feed
• allow us to post GIFs from the Google keyboard

I’m mostly waiting for marking posts as read as you scroll by and hiding read posts (but only in your feed). I think this is especially important with the federated content that might come in later than when I “scrolled past” the point in time it would appear in my feed.

Being able to jump back a page without snapping to the top is the only issue I have with the PWA set up I’ve got. Otherwise it’s great as is.

Ability to choose the default sort for comments

keyword filters, so you can avoid posts about “trump” or “hitler” and other things that annoy you

For web: better theming, for app: i18n, for both: much smoother subscription to other instances.

wefwef.app is perfect and extremely smooth right now and can be installed locally as an app. It’s open-source, it has a GitHub repo for those who want to host their own or want to audit the code. Would be cool if it was available directly as an apk on Play Store, I believe it would be hugely beneficial for Lemmy if it became the “official” app!

I’d say other apps should try to take some hints from wefwef, it does all the things right, is inspired by Apollo and once you use it you won’t miss Reddit at all!

I want the ability to login to any given Lemmy instance with another instance’s account. Kind of like how I can login to various sites using a Google account. I think it would be fantastic if I could login to say, Beehaw.org with my Programming.dev account. That way if I’m perusing Beehaw.org directly I don’t have to worry about having my own account there or finding that community back at Programming.dev (and waiting for the subscription to update); I can just login with an existing Lemmy account from some other instance.

If a Lemmy instance is already federating with an instance where I have an account I don’t see any reason why this would cause content/moderation problems.

Multi-lemmy. I really miss having my custom feeds made with the multi reddit tool,.

Apart from the ones already mentioned,

• being able to collapse all threads in a post to only show parent-level comments
• keyboard shortcuts ala RES (esp the J-K navigation)
• more themes (the default ones suck)
• more image improvements

I’d like some tablet/large screen optimizations now that I have a Pixel Fold! Sync for Reddit and Infinity are example apps that do it right in my opinion

1. Subscribe to whole instances, not just individual communities, that are not Federated by the instance my account is logged into.

2. Easily block communities from the ALL feed, without 3 or 4 clicks
