I want something similar to multi-reddits. I want to mix and match communities to my hearts desire into one big feed. I also want to combine duplicate communities from different instances to the same feed.

My number one desired feature for Lemmy. It’s all I’m missing from Reddit.

A way to group communities would make my moderating tasks so much easier.

Yes yes yes. This is my #1.

I’m using accounts in different instances as multis for the time being.
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Repetition. The front page algorithm frequently shows way too many posts from a single community, often in a row. It also tends to show me a lot of duplicated posts that have been reposted to multiple communities.
There needs to be a better mix in the way posts are selected. Popular communities should not be able to dominate the listing with multiple posts. The more posts they get to the front page, the more they should be down-weighted in order to give an equitable mix.
rustyriffs@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I definitely agree with this one. It makes browsing feel very stagnant at times, because unless I go out of my way to view the communities I’ve subscribed to then I don’t really see most of them.
muntedcrocodile@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Now we are free of reddit we need to separate NSFW and NSFL. Not sure if allowing both on the same post should be allowed but we defiantly need to have both as options.
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 year ago
And spoilers
muntedcrocodile@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Why don’t we just make it Flair’s so it can do whatever is needed now / in the future.
jeffhykin@lemm.ee 1 year ago
AFAIK the NSFW is actually part of Activity Pub (e.g. its bigger than lemmy). I think Lemmy should adopt a system like hashtags or flairs. This would allow for a lot of stuff, like spoliers, or market communities adding #sold, etc. The app displaying the posts can choose what to do with them (e.g. filtering out #nsfl)
CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think the ideal solution would be content warnings like Mastodon has, maybe these convert to NSFW posts for activityPub but within Lemmy surely they can work the way intended.

The mod tools are too basic and barebones. I’d appreciate if we can get:
- Post approval system for new or low-karma accounts (it can be karma for local communities)
- Reporting system with multiple options (very hard to implement in the fediverse as everyone has different rules) so that the reports are sent to the proper channels. Admins shouldn’t have to deal with community-specific rules (for example, “memes only on mondays”).
- Automoderator (these might already exist? I have not tried them.)
I don’t know if I should split this comment into three or not but they’re some general suggestions to address the complaint of basic mod tools.

I did say the complaint:
The mod tools are too basic and barebones
I also gave three ideas that are (1) manually done by mods/admins, (2) manually done by users, (3) automated by mods/admins.
On a small subreddit I moderate, we have automod automatically queue posts at a certain age. If your account is less than a day old, your post is hidden for public viewing while the mods manually approve it. We had to deal with a lot of spam bots and this was a good solution for us.
I believe the way the report feature works on Lemmy is that it sends out to the mods of the community and all the admins. It doesn’t work quite well when I don’t know the rules of a community. “No memes on mondays”, is that really something I (as an admin) should be worried about? That’s not my job.
I hope this clears things up.
otter@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Don’t think there is an automod

2 feature requests:
Combine posts from different instances into a single item.
Allow filtering or blocking by regex. So I can filter all subs that have a word in them or match a pattern.

Avatar deletions don’t federate. When you delete your avatar on your instance, it doesn’t get deleted across the threadiverse.
Sneptaur@pawb.social 1 year ago
Permalinks to comment chains are buggy and need their functionality improved. I spend a lot of my time on Lemmy commenting and conversing with other users. Once a chain exceeds about 8 replies, it becomes increasingly difficult to find the thread with the permalink button from my inbox. This is a problem that some mobile clients have solved, like Mlem, but it should also behave correctly on desktop.
UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
There needs to be a way to tag posts, similar to Reddit’s flair system but with multiple flairs.
Also related to the aforementioned, a working search by flair system. Searching posts on a subreddit by flair never worked for me.
muntedcrocodile@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Would be interesting to make “flairs” federated so u could give a post a flair from a different community/server. Would be very helpful for categorisation of all Lemmy data as a general information source.
partial_accumen@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Maybe its just me, but there is one very common thing that happen to me through any firefox (desktop or mobile) and irrespective of any specific lemmy server, and irrespective if I’m authenticated or browsing as public/anonymous.
Lets say I’m looking at the front page of lemmy.world. I’ve reached the bottom of the page (lets call that page #0) and hit the “NEXT” button. The next page loads successfully displaying the next page of items (so now we’re on page #1). I click/tap into an article or comments of one. This loads successfully. When I finish reading, I click/tap the BACK button in the browser. Since I was on Page #1 I would expect to go back to Page #1. Instead I GO BACK TO PAGE #0! So I have to scroll to the bottom of Page #0, hit NEXT again, Page #1 loads successfully. If I were to click/tap into different article or comments, read, and hit BACK in the browser, I would have to repeat the same page #0, scroll to the bottom, hit NEXT to return to Page #1 again.
Any ideas? Is there a different button somewhere in the body of the page I should be clicked a back function instead of using the browser built in BACK button?
PumpkinDrama@reddthat.com 1 year ago
[deleted]mayo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hard to with a trackpad or phone.
This bug is why when I’m casually scrolling I tend to avoid clicking anything that isn’t a meme that can be opened in-line.
Caboose12000@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I wish there were an option to see like 80-90% communities I’m subscribed to or following or whatever, and 10-20% posts from communities I’m not subscribed to that are getting a lot of activity. I mostly only want to see what I opt-in for, but a small amount of discovery would be nice
PumpkinDrama@reddthat.com 1 year ago
[deleted]Caboose12000@lemmy.world 1 year ago
oh wow that’s actually exactly what I was looking for
TheJack@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I would like an option within settings to get comments sorted by ‘Top’ (or any new/hot) when I open any post. Thanks.
MetaChat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This is particularly needed because when you sort by Hot manually it reloads the page and requires scrolling through the sometimes very long post body again.
JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Finally, confirmation that I’m not dumb and that this is really missing! Seems very odd that something so basic as sort order has been left out of the settings.
I for one am changing the sort order to Top, manually, on Every. Single. Page.
Die4Ever@programming.dev 1 year ago
Boost allows this and it is a good feature yeah
Chozo@kbin.social 1 year ago
I thought boosts were basically "+2 Upvote". Unless maybe that's just Kbin's implementation.

I have to switch between subscribed/local/all feed all the time. That’s why I proposed a mixed-feed, which merges Subscribed/Local/All feed according to users settings so you don’t have to switch all the time.

notfromhere@lemmy.one 1 year ago
I want categories of blocklists that I can turn on, e.g. uncheck languages I don’t know, uncheck religion, uncheck politics, etc.
I want to be able to group together all posts that were posed by the same user with the same content to different commits. I want to view that as a single post not 6 or however many they spam posted it to.
I want to be able to view same community spanning different server instances as a single community if I so choose, maybe some way to combine them and auto-add new communities with same name as they pop up ok other instances. Posting to it should give option of which server to post to, or all of them?
Haui@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
This would be insanely good. Especially in combination. Combine all fediverse communities on lemmy and view all crossposts as one for example.
pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
communities im interested in are really small
PumpkinDrama@reddthat.com 1 year ago
[deleted]onlinepersona@programming.dev 1 year ago
I think grouping communities on different instances by name would be one solution. There’s multiple “linux” communities on different instances and one has to subscribe to each on in order to see posts from them. There’s no “I want to subscribe to linux communities on all instances” button / feature.
pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
no, the issue i just said in my first comment is my olny one
BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Too many duplicate posts because of people cross posting the same content to all the duplicate channels across all the federated servers. I regularly see 5 duplicates in a row while browsing. It’s very annoying.
ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 1 year ago
User flair. I know it’s probably not that high on the list for most who might see it as a gimmick, but it’s almost essential for sports discussion to know what team a user supports. I’m sure many other communities have compelling reasons as well.
kalkulat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Not complaint but suggestion: When I get to the bottom of a column of msgs and click the NEXT button … page should scroll to the top!

A simple toast message after an applicant signs up, but before the admins approve the application. Currently the applicant is offered no feedback while in this no-person’s land between applying and being approved.
This is very obvious on the confirm email link. Once you log in, the username and password will disappear, but no feedback is sent to the applicant.
I would fix it myself but I don’t know rust or inferno.

I need to sub to a bundle of all pc gaming communities out there. A Federated group of communities.
Meta-communities but each community can declare what they are about, so nobody necessarily needs to create the meta-community.
clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Like opt-in multireddits? That sounds cool.
A bit like recreating the old Yahoo! categorization of the web.
twistypencil@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Every morning I look at everything and have to block about 20 communities because they aren’t English. I filter posts on language, but these have no language set, so they come through. Would be great to tighten up language detection, or community defaults
onlinepersona@programming.dev 1 year ago
They forced “no language set” to always be added to the language filter. I dislike the decision too, but there’s an issue on github about it and people can leave the opinion there.

ricdeh@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A more powerful front page sorting algorithm that drives engagement in a more organic manner and that increases the exposure of users to content that they’re likely to interact with.
Zeth0s@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That requires user profiling, something most lemmy users are vocally against.
It also requires a data science team and a bunch of additional legal stuff.
clark@midwest.social 1 year ago
Agreed. I’ve always had the impression you made your own algorithm on Lemmy by subscribing to communities, so there is really no need for “an approved algorithm” that requires gathering data from the users here.
JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Stopped reading at “drives engagement”
OlPatchy2Eyes@dormi.zone 1 year ago
I’ve forgotten how to find and subscribe to a community on an instance other than the one I’m on. Once I get some time to reassociate myself I’m sure I can figure it out again but it’s not intuitive.
clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I’ve had the same problem. Heck, half the time I go to a community in another instance it tells me I’m not logged in (to that instance), so the subscribe button isn’t even there. I haven’t figured out what I’m doing wrong, yet.
doktorseven@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Turn off reply notifications.
btaf45@lemmy.world 1 year ago
When you click on “list of communites”. An option to default to “subscribed”. I never just want to see “local”.
dandroid@dandroid.app 1 year ago
This has been suggested many times, but we need a way to link comments and posts in an instance-agnostic way. Getting pulled to a new instance when you click a link is very confusing for new users. Another use case that was common on reddit that won’t work without this feature is you can’t have a stickied post with links to other important posts in the community. People will get pulled into the instance that the linker is in, which means people who follow the link will be logged out (unless their account is on the same instance as OP) and won’t be able to interact with the post.
This isn’t a nice-to-have feature. This is a must-have feature.
jws_shadotak@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Until this is officially added, there are browser addons that will automatically convert links to your own home instance.
otter@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Yea LemmyLink gives you something to click on, but it gets slow on long pages because it replaces links themselves.
InstanceAssistant you need to right click, but it’s fast. This one also lets you open a post back on your home instance, for if you already ended up somewhere. I use that more than the link conversion because usually I don’t need to comment on the posts so when I do, I click the button to redirect.
They really need to handle them in Lemmy though
dandroid@dandroid.app 1 year ago
Sure, and that’s great to know and remind people. You and I know how to workaround the issue, but the experience is broken for people who don’t. People who are new to lemmy don’t know that they need to install a browser extension. And that’s why this isn’t an acceptable solution. This needs to be a very high priority, and should be the next thing they work on after 0.19 release.
