If I didn't get 403 errors when trying to post to groups that I'm subscribed to.

  • a culture of providing summaries for links

  • fewer videos and images

  • ability to crosspost comments or textposts from within the fediverse

  • reading lists beyond just subscribed (a la "multireddits")

  • the ability to tag other users a la RES

  • user flair for munis

  • better mod controls (eg. make it easier to add or remove additional mods, automoderation, more streamlined reporting, federate moderation more effectively)

  • better control of a user's own content (eg. being able to delete posts effectively)

  • ninja edits for tupos

Probably some central home page. That has a set of communities.

I think the most common complaint from new users is that it's too complicated and "I can't find anything"

If there was just a reddit front page esque thing going on I think the barrier to entry would be lower.

I use Kbin, so my experience is a little different, but do Lemmy instances not have default communities? If not, that seems like a pretty good addition, but if so, then I think that experience is going to be largely dictated by the individual instance you're signing up with.

If the goddamn TLDR bot updated regularly and if it appeared on every post with an article within 5 min.

More diverse politics stances rather than just commies and liberals

[–] SkyeHarith@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

That’s not very “owns the means of production” of you.

But all joking aside, there’s something fundamentally socialist about the fediverse. Like it’s by design decentralized to let people own their instance.

[–] HiddenLychee@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Honestly I just and less politics. More diverse just means more fighting. I just want less politics in subs that are not inherently political.

Oh man... you're speaking directly to why I made Actual Discussion (consider this a personal invite).

We frequently get one-time posters coming in and flaming (or downvoting without reading) on any thread that may not agree with them, then when challenged with sources, they vanish. It's brutal. I wish we could disable certain behaviours on our instance or in the Community itself.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I should be able to "hide read posts" and not have it apply to my own posts/comments in my profile.
