Not sure if this is Lemmy or the app I use, but I would like my saved content to appear in the order it was saved. It sucks when I save something old and am unable to find it when I look at my saved items.
@scrubbles That's really cool! Definitely something for people to consider rather than developing hyper-specific moderation tools for their own Lemmy or whatever.
It’s super obvious when it happens to you, but it’s not obvious when you see it in the wild. It would be a great improvement to the site to just show the users who downvoted/upvoted.
I also noticed sometimes after getting into an argument it’s like they go through my profile and start downvoting everything. I feel like any vote that comes from someone’s profile (rather than in the wild) should be flagged as suspicious because it feels like they’re never genuine.
The ability to see all the communities if you search them up without having to find it via lemmyverse.net and inserting the specific fedi url to the search bar. It’s a crucial thing for an average Joe, no matter it’s due to how the fedi protocol works.
That ‘all’ is all of the communities and posts your server knows about. You are on a pretty big (I think?) server, so it’s probably pretty good. For people on smaller servers like the one I’m on, it won’t have a lot of the smaller niche communities on there as no one from my server has ever visited them.
If I made a new community on my instance and posted stuff there, you wouldn’t see it in your ‘all’ feed unless someone from lemme.ee visited the new community first.
Maybe a setting for each tag for whether it qualifies as NSFW? That way you could have multiple tags that would be filtered as NSFW for different classes of content, which could enable individual users to only filter one of the tags if they only want to avoid something specific.
I’ve made a post a few days ago. I’d argue we should make a proper distinction. Adult content and NSFW isn’t the same thing. Currently everything from sex education to gore and death is the same category. I think it’s really not. NSFW tags help so you can scroll through things in an open-plan office or while commuting. Porn is porn and gore is gore. I think we shouldn’t oversimplify this but keep the nuances and have different categories. Also I’d like to not mix stuff like sex education which might be fine, and minors ask those questions all the time on Reddit with other things like fetish.
Reddit has multireddits where you can have a few that follows a certain selection of subreddits under a label. You can have multiple ones defined as well. Therefore, you can have a view for all things news (following multiple news things) without having to view those things on your main home feed (as well as any other defined topics that you can think of).
It would be nifty if such a thing could exist inside of Lemmy as well.
Reports categories based on both the community, the instance of the community + the user to reduce report noise between mod actions and admin actions.
Post tags, to label content within a community.
Better language support, clearly indicating which ones are allowed when submitting something in the language dropdown, as well as basic language detection support.
When the instance is using pictrs, add a section in the user’s settings to see all the uploaded pictures in that account, with the ability to delete any of them.
Better accessibility / a11y support for uploaded images with alt-text.
Support for svg-based emojis
For mods, the ability to make a pinned post made by one of the mods editable by other mods, which would be useful for FAQs, etc.
The ability to subscribe/follow a specific user, not just communities.
Passkeys support as a 2FA method.
Some basic builtin automod action, such as blocking known keywords from spammers from being posted, not just showing as removed as when using the slur filter in the admin settings.
EDIT: Something I just thought of
A URI protocol handler to refer to communities, users, post and comments in an instance-independant way (ie: lemmy://u/[email protected], lemmy://c/[email protected], lemmy://c/[email protected]/p/1234567) or another syntax that makes more sense. That way you could let the OS redirect the query to the software of your choice, and define your home instance there.
Now there are some issues to figure out before defining the URI handler, like how to refer to a post or comment that will redirect to the appropriate one on your home instance since post and comment currently have a unique ID on each instance, which makes them hard to directly address without doing some kind of conversion.
Some kind of a chatroom integrated into the forum ?(might be a bad idea don’t sue me . ) for stupid fun and close connections like it could be really barebones with only basic functionality i just think it could be fun.
I’d like to see more instances with 100-500 users.
I know that’s a community thing, more than a Lemmy thing. I just don’t feel like I have a wealth of choices. I’m still on lemmy.world and when I look around, I don’t see a lot of medium-sized instances to migrate to.
Try to join an instance that is related to your geographical location or your country or state. That should result in a more even spread than what we have right now.
It’s a lot of work to admin an instance, though. I can understand if random people don’t want to do it. I hope one day someone does, because a California or Socal instance was the first one I looked for, too.
I would like to be able to more effectively filter posts of languages i can’t understand. Using memmy i have been trying to filter posts by key word and entering common words in every language, but it’s not changed how much i scroll past, and it’s hard to determine if it’s effective at all.
Usually these posts are in language specific communities and the best option then is to just block the community (or the whole instance, if the whole instance is language specific).
Also the opposite. Allow the user to specify that they want to see ALL languages, regardless of which ones their instance supports. It seems weird that navigating to an instance without being logged in shows all posts but when you’re logged in they get automatically filtered to the instance-supported languages.
