Probably need to be client side tbh but when someone mass posts the same article across multiple communities and instances I only see it once with a list of where its posted if you go into it.
Hard (high hanging fruit): allow users to look and behave like communities so that we can follow each other (and masto users too ) as we would normal communities, where each user has their own (or multiple!) “community” they can populate and moderate as they see fit.
Less community repetition. I feel like it spreads out potential members and makes each community smaller with repetitive content. I wish communities could be more linked so they share content and members.
Link communies.
When two communies are linked they act like one with multiple names distributed on multiple instances.
This would solve the dublicate communities on different instance problem.
Some sort of organizational hierarchy or tagging system so the user could block wide swaths of communities like sports, celebrities, music, or whatever they aren’t interested in; without having to block each community individually.
I'd make the culture more like the rest of the fediverse, instead of reddit like as it is now. Too many ex reddit folk have brought the bad parts of reddit culture with them
I'd like the "show context" link to work. Maybe that's just me? It used to work but no longer. It'd be helpful when I go to a post from the reply notification thing. (viewing this on the web in Firefox)
Lemmy has an extremism problem. Partly because of the lack of moderation tools (which is why a lot of mods supposedly left reddit in the first place) and partly because of the lack of moderation, or straight up complacency of some mods.
This is probably not 100% lemmy's fault but interoperability with other branches of the fediverse could be better. For example, i can create posts and subscribe to lemmy communities from my pleroma instance but federation of posts and discussions from lemmy to pleroma is somewhere inbeteween "unreliable" and "nonexistant", depending on the moon phase or whatever. Sorting that stuff out would be crucial for making lemmy communities a real fediverse-spanning, platform-agnostic thing.
[Double reply because it's something else than I commented before.]
Hot take: I'd make admins+mods start kicking users out for blatant shows of stupidity (rushed certainty, "TL;DR but your wrong lol lmao", blatant context-unawareness, etc.). With the following message: "if you want to behave like a moron, fuck off back to Reddit."
