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.
If there is one thing you can change about Lemmy, what would it be?

Yeah, one post and links to the different comment sections below it
imperator3733@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Or the comment sections could just be merged together in the client view. Each thread of comments would belong to one (and only one) instance, so it shouldn’t be difficult to merge those lists together when presenting the aggregate view to the user.

If they use the crosspost feature this should already happen. If course no apps support that yet to my knowledge.
QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This is my #1 request as well. Not easy to implement I’m sure but would be a huge QoL upgrade.

Instance blocking on a user level
redw0rm@kerala.party 1 year ago
This PR in lemmy will implement the issue PR #3869. Looking at the thread, the devs have completed the work and waiting for successful testing.
reddwarf@feddit.nl 1 year ago
Oh wow…. This is so nice to see. Thanks for the heads-up!
Spamdump@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This. So much this. I’m about to figure out how to make open server just do I can block all the hentai and furry porn servers.

add some damn good mod tools. lemmy will die if the user base grows and the mod tools do not.
ljdawson@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If you have any specific requests I can add to Sync I’d love to get your feedback:
lemmyingly@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Not a mod tool, but since I’ve found you. Is there a way to hide post points on user devices from being shown to the user? If not, feature request please.
Depending on my mood, I sometimes do not want to see the points my posts have received. And likewise, sometimes I don’t want to see the points others have received either.
postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Mod Tool would be a good Halloween costume.
Nerd02@lemmy.basedcount.com 1 year ago
I made an AutoMod, does it count? :))
Laticauda@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Less community repetition. I feel like it spreads out potential members and makes each community smaller with repetitive content.
Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’ve had a thought, what if clients allowed users to mix and match communities so that they show as one? You could bundle all the gaming communities into one for instance. You’d still see where each publication originates from but they would appear in the same feed
can@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Pretty sure Summit is the only one to implement that so far.
ljdawson@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The issue with this is doing it locally.
If you bundle 20 communities you’d end up doing 20 requests back to back to create the combined list. Could end up being really slow.
Wu9fee@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
How does moderation work this way?
shrugal@lemm.ee 1 year ago
One idea: Community owners can link their community with another, like friend requests between communities. From that point they act like one community with multiple owners. Everything is duplicated, and that includes removing content and bans. Client side apps can show them as one community.
Spotlight7573@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The ability to easily link to a specific post or comment in a way that works across instances/clients, like you can with communities.
Wu9fee@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
That is a reallu good idea.
Die4Ever@programming.dev 1 year ago
there’s a discussion about that here github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2987
ttmrichter@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Support for user blocking by instance.
heimchen@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
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.
Nerd02@lemmy.basedcount.com 1 year ago
Beautiful. But it would be tough to make moderation work. Administration too, for that matter.
blue_berry@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think it could work like this:
The moderators of each communities posts are responsible for their posts and keep an eye on the moderation by the other community. If one side is unhappy with the moderation of the other, they can cut the link and vice versa.
Administrators act as if the others community’s post are part of the community on their instance too. If there are weird posts, the community gets banned etc.
I think Linking would be great.
Chainweasel@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’d get rid of the bots that repost content and comments from Reddit.

I’m actually the opposite, I’m glad I can leech off reddit and use it to kickstart communities.

Hide read posts only from the frontage. There should be an option to have them visible in their community itself to refer back later.
ljdawson@lemmy.world 1 year ago
whiskers@lemmings.world 1 year ago
@ljdawson@lemmy.world my request is a bit different. I actually use Sync. When we hide posts from the frontpage using “Hide Read Posts” toggle, it hides the post from both the frontpage and the community where the post was posted. I’d like to have a setting where it only hides read posts from the frontpage.
Sometimes I like to go back to a community (like Starfield for e.g.) to read posts that I hid previously from frontpage to see newer discussions or just look back at things after a couple of days.
ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
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
Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
Yeah, the feeling of chatting with considerate adults is slipping. I’ve started doing the Reddit thing of typing out a comment and then hitting the cancel button because I didn’t want to deal with contrarians.
ttmrichter@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Respond with contrarian-bait and then go slap-happy with blocks. Eventually the professional contrarians vanish from your feed never to be seen again.
MossBear@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I totally agree. Lemmy had an awesome, friendly helpful vibe and the reddit exodus had a noticeably negative affect on the nature of the discourse. It became more nasty, more petulant more quipy, and more angsty. Now that people are here, I’m not at all saying they should leave, but maybe read the room and try to be a part of something better. The internet doesn’t have to be a hostile place.
Mpeach45@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The pie in the sky answer is “get all my friends and relations to use it.”
More realistically: I wish I could follow or friend a person here.

Ability to migrate account or a community to another instance.
tomjuggler@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Can we do this after they shut down their server please
reddig33@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Some sort of organizational hierarchy or tagging system so the user could block while swaths of communities like sports, celebrities, music, or whatever they aren’t interested in; without having to block each community individually.
postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Usenet like tree, maybe with symbolic links?
jeffhykin@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Maybe a hashtag feature for communities would be a quick start at this
jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 1 year ago
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)
ShittyKopper@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
There was a version of Lemmy that broke that. Make sure your instance is on the latest version as it should be fixed since.
dan1101@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Your own posts should show in your profile even you have Show Read Posts off. And there should be an easy visible toggle while browsing.
iopq@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I want a consistent identity on the internet, where all of my fediverse accounts are linked
Roundcat@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
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.
TheBlue22@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Removal of hexbear and lemmygrad. Perhaps they should piss off to their own website and let people with working brains shitpost in peace
Chainweasel@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m familiar with lemmygrad, but what’s Hexbear?
ttmrichter@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m seeing a contradiction between “people with working brains” and “shitpost” to be honest.
TheBlue22@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Anyone can shitpost, it’s a recreational activity
Nerd02@lemmy.basedcount.com 1 year ago
If you really have a problem with those people, instead of complaining you should move to an instance that’s defederated from them.
Many of the big players have.
OrthoStice@feddit.it 1 year ago
Ability to change username without creating a new account. I’d love to uniform my username all across the Fediverse.
DharmaCurious@startrek.website 1 year ago
Make the jump, my friend. I did it. This was my reddit name, but I’ve slowly madethis my name basically everywhere, and it’s so nice not having to remember usernames.
ShittyKopper@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
That’s kinda impossible in Lemmy’s current implementation because your ActivityPub person ID is linked to your username (through your /u/ URL)
Mastodon also made that mistake. I believe Akkoma and the *key forks use user IDs so they could theoretically make it work, though I’m not entirely sure on that.
randon31415@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There should be “Last 3 hours” in the drop down menu. 6 hours just shows you stuff you saw 5 hours ago, and 1 hour shows like 3 posts.
fubo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Federated communities, so that if an instance goes down, the communities it’s hosting don’t just stop working for everyone else.

Increased participation in software development, UI design, UX design, documentation and guides (including wiki and join-lemmy).
To make all the other things become reality :]
ttmrichter@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This is a common wish in F/OSS circles … and then the owners/maintainers of F/OSS projects make the process of contributing anything convoluted, difficult, and emotionally draining (via a whole lot of bikeshedding)^1^.
When F/OSS projects make contribution culture a thing, they’ll get contributors. Until then … ugh. No. They won’t.
^1^ Obligatory example: on a particular F/OSS game server a specific command by default gave this massive wave of output that was, for an average user, 95% useless. It listed things the user couldn’t participate in. AND it listed the small number of things the user could participate in first, ensuring it scrolled right off the screen before it could get spotted. A user with actual UX design experience posted a long and detailed critique, explaining the problems, explaining why the available suggested solutions were flawed, and made a concrete suggestion for keeping existing behaviour with a simple /all switch on the command while making the default useful for 95% of users. From a quick glance at the code base myself, I figured it would take the maintainers two hours tops to fully implement and test the recommended change. It was a trivial change to metadata in the command processor, not even an actual code change.
And she got “well akshuallied” to death. A bunch of programmers with zero knowledge of UX, no perceivable talent for tasteful design, and egos that got bruised by the suggestion that their output wasn’t perfect dumped on this poor woman (the fact she was a woman being, I suspect, a major factor) to the point she’s sworn never to get involved in suggesting anything for a F/OSS project ever again. Because F/OSS communities are just that toxic.
So solve that problem and you’ll get UI and UX designers galore. And maybe get people who’ll document too, provided you don’t tell them (literally!) that their contributions matter less than code. (Because nothing motivates contribution better than telling people doing the contributions that they don’t matter!)

personal user sort method for post replies
eg: users I upvote more get higher placement in threads when I sort them this way. This would replicate ‘algorithms’ used on other sites.

The ability to hide some communities I mod from the All feed.
Groschi@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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-wide, platform-agnostic thing.

The ability to view posts that I upvoted
samajgaya@feddit.rocks 1 year ago
This. On r*ddit I used to upvote posts, and save really important ones to organise them. Maybe even some way to organize bookmarked posts.
Don’t know if that’s a client side thing or not.
Bobicus@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Obviously client side, but Apollo for Reddit allowed you to bin saved posts into specific categories. I understand it wasn’t trivial to implement, but hope a Lemmy client is able to implement something similar one day.
