While @nutomic@lemmy.ml and I do have a lot of issues that are going to take us a lot of time this upcoming year, its still useful for us to hear what your most desired features for Lemmy are, and prioritize them.

If they’re smaller, we could get to them fairly quickly, or others wanting to contribute could see whats most wanted.

Outside of just posting them here, make sure github issues exist for them (this is what we work from), and do a thumbs up react for all the ones you’d like. Despite being a popular project, we have very few people voting on these issues . We can then use the link above (issues sorted by most thumbs up ), to keep track.

Thanks all.

    The ability to tag posts (what are called “flairs” on reddit)

    maybe more privacy features, like offering an invidious link when someone posts youtube, nitter for twitter, stuff like that

      We could add helpers in the ui, like the one we have on the create post page for using an archive link. But overall I’d like a link aggregator to remain mostly agnostic about the links being posted ( we also do remove some tracking / utm params tho ).

      The other thing is there are many of these 3rd party viewers, and they go down quite often and leave dead links. We’d use it if someone made a rust or js library for it tho.

        For the case of Invidious, a redirector exists at https://redirect.invidious.io/ which could be used as intermediate point in this case.

        mostly agnostic about the links being posted

        I would like if people wanting to get content without executing nonfree stuff or privacy/security aware could have it easy and not just be the second-class citizens everywhere.

        Other way to address this could be redirecting the posters to these software and services to post these links instead of being solely done by Lemmy. In this way is the person who post the one who must solve the problem.

    1. Multi-communities akin to multireddits, and also, cross-instance multi-communities.

    2. If you log into your account on a post, I’d prefer to be taken back to the post, instead of the front page, as it is now.

    3. MoAr federation (for example, the ability to follow mastodon or pixelfed accounts from Lemmy, it could work well with custom multi-communities).

    It’s not that big of a deal, but I’d love to see a redesign on the main page’s community related sidebars. Both of them feel really clunky the way they are now, having them come one after the other instead of in a vertical list, and with no way to order the ones you are subscribed into alphabetical order instead of popularity order.

    The way Reddit does the trending communities in its redesign look pretty good, and the way old Reddit orders the subreddits you joined in the top bar is also nice, something at least inspired on that would be really good.

    Also a redesign on the top bar (when the page is taking less than half of the screen) should be at least in the priority list, it’s the one aspect of the site that looks REALLY bad.

    Include a Replies Collection via Page json, so that Mastodon & other #ActivityPub software can know about all the replies each Lemmy post has

    I kind of wish that when I respond to a comment in my inbox, that it doesn’t just disappear after I submit it. I usually want to click the context button after I respond. It’s just a little pet peeve and not really much of an issue, but I digress.

    • open posts in new tab
    • ability to make profile private
    • allow posters to have some level of control over their posts - sticky a comment, set the sort etc.

    Human readable URLs! The URL is a very important part of a site’s user interface, and lemmy’s URLs currently just have a post number - there is no title, or even the name of the sub-community. Compare this to reddit: when I paste a friend a reddit URL in chat they get two hints about what it is about: the subreddit name, and the post’s title, both embedded in the URL itself. This lets them decide if they want to click it now, or later, or never, or to recognize if they’ve already seen it. Lemmy links should be like that.

    I’d like to block/hide certain communities from the “all” view. That way I can browse posts that I’m not subscribed to, but skip stuff I know I’ll never care about.

      We added this a few months ago. Go to your profile settings, and the blocks tab.

        It would be nice if there was a button on the community profile to make this easier to discover and use.

              Sorry, I thought that was in response to your RSS comment. You can only block communities from your profile settings currently.

      There is an option in lemmur to block community that I assume is inherited from Lemmy. Just go to the menu on a post and select it.

    In the raw install docs I would like:

    • OpenRC or SysVInit service examples
    • Apache HTTPD configuration example
    • Adapt the Certbot script as it is being ran as a general distribution when the fact is that Debian-based distros already provide Nginx and Apache HTTPD plugins (which makes it easy to configure through the TUI) and it is being ran as a cronjob by default at /etc/cron.d/certbot
