Often, its asked what the fediverse or lemmy needs more of in terms of content, but are there any specific features or functionality you really feel are lacking?
You must log in or # to comment.
Being able to actually migrate an account, not just settings and follows etc but your post and comment history etc. All data
Some way of linking to a post somewhere on Lemmy that will open up the post in your logged in instance of Lemmy.

Ninja edits. A grace period where you can edit your comment without it showing it was edited. This is usually for typos and formatting mistakes that you notice right after posting your comment. A minute will do.
If anything, I’d love a diff of each edit vs the ability to ninja edit
rather than allowing edits for invisible edits for X minutes, couldn’t your client just delay actually sending it for X minutes allowing to cancel or edit freely until that point?
Gmail allows a similar feature and it seems safer in a distributed system than relying on everyone else to respect what happens after you send a raw message and an edit right after
Implementing this like Gmail would mean doing it server-side. Handling it in the client would be more error-prone, since your device would have to have a good connection in the future, and if it doesn’t, handle retries and make sure never to double-post.
Show me a list of posts and comments I upvoted.
The voyager app has that feature.
Tags for posts
I want to be able to put alt text on an image post upload. Accessibility is cool.
The obvious one, tags and flairs
Auto mark reply notifications as read.
why? dont you want to read them?
No, I mean clicking on them and reading them doesn’t mark them as read. You have to manually click the “Mark all as read” button or individually click the “mark as read” arrow button on each of the comments.
Consolidation of communities with a sort of overlay.
Mods can choose to mirror the whole community. This way you can have a sort of unified community happening between instances instead of happening on each island.
Also mods can move a discussion if needed.Just recently I have seen a three separate discussions across three different c/technology communities.
Post flairs
I’d like to be able to mark specific top level posts as ‘don’t show me this again’.
show me reports I have made.
Alongside others mentioned (tags/flairs, multi-communities, keyword filtering, etc.) another feature I’d like to see added/improved is notification settings.
Something like…
In account settings:
- Enable/disable all notifications.
- Enable/disable post reply notifications.
- Enable/disable comment reply notifications.
For others’ posts/comments and per posts/comments:
- Enable/disable post reply notifications.
- Enable/disable comment reply notifications.
With those settings you could more easily tune out all notifications or only opt into those you’d like to see, and opt out of those you’re done with (say your post/comment got popular and you’ve had your fill from the replies).
Unrelated to notification settings, it would also be nice to be able to block communities from the front page via the … More menu in the default web UI.
Comment type taxonomy:
-funny -informative -offtopic -redundant
Etc
Voters can select a category
Now I can browse in serious mode, funny mode, etc
Found the Slashdotter.
Post title translations.
