Ask Lemmy

Picture Albums that you can scroll through on an app.

• Ability to see and export the posts and comments I upvoted and downvoted
• Polls with configurable restrictions (ex: only allow subscribed members of the community to vote from the date the poll was published, single-choice or multiple choices, restricted to local instance)
• Tags for posts and users inside a community
• Have a table for rules, and have those rules show up when creating a report
• A lemmy:// (or fediverse://) protocol, to make linking content, users, communities, etc more universal across instances, apps, etc

option to get notifications when a post or a comment subtree gets a new comment. Especially (but not only) useful for your own posts, and for when you have commented on a topic whereyou are interested in not only the direct responses, but in the overall discussion.

to handle deleted content better: when a post or a comment is deleted, keep them openable, to still have the context readable

Reddit Markdown lets one use italics inside links, like so:

I like [the author of *A Game of Thrones*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_R._R._Martin).

However, Lemmy does not presently support this syntax, renders it as:

I like the author of A Game of Thrones.

I frequently want to have partially-styled links like this, particularly italics.

EDIT: Okay, I just discovered that apparently this has been implemented since the last time I tried it. Thanks, devs!

I love the Old Lemmy webiste, I wish there was a way to incorporate a RES type of extension for Lemmy

In frontends, I'd like to have the option to not show displaynames, or at least show real usernames next to displaynames.

If you want to reference a user using @username@instance syntax, you need to know their username, and while the displaynames can be cute, I've just never seen a really compelling argument for them. I also haven't seen anyone abusing them yet, but they seem likely to be trouble from a "trying to impersonate someone else" standpoint.

(I think that's the official list.)

Allow me to upvote posts and comments within search.

Super-compact mode for posts.

Ability to search Saved Posts, and RSS for them too like Reddit has.

I save a lot of handy things on Lemmy but it’s really difficult to find them again later. It also seems to sort by original post creation date instead of when I saved them so this makes it even more difficult to find later.

Spoiler posts

Linking one of the AO3 tag tutorials because tagging? is extremely powerful.

Make it easier to join.

I'd love to see something similar to reddit enhancement suite.

• frontpage by default is too old (sometimes 2+ days)
• better search
• maybe it's just me but my tiny brain refuses to learn clicking on a title brings me to the comments and not the article. an option would be nice
• filters based on tags
• can mods post comments next to a title? this can be very helpful (e.g. "misleading?")

UI improvements.

The ability to subscribe to another instances bans.
