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.

MODERATORS
Beautiful. But it would be tough to make moderation work. Administration too, for that matter.
I think it could work like this:
The moderators of each community are primarily 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.
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.
The ability to view posts that I upvoted
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.
add some damn good mod tools. lemmy will die if the user base grows and the mod tools do not.
Ability to migrate account or a community to another instance.
Ban instances like Hexbear and Lemmygrad from showing posts to normal people on All. Make them as difficult to find as possible.
I've heard a rumor around the dev channels that a feature taking care of that is coming with the next update, users should be able to block whole instances locally.
However who you end up getting federated with should probably be your main criteria when picking your home instance. Lemm.ee is awesome because it's federated with almost everyone, but if you can't stomach that maybe you're in the wrong place.
Instance blocking/defederate on a user level
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.
Less community repetition. I feel like it spreads out potential members and makes each community smaller with repetitive content. I wish communities could be more linked so they share content and members.
How does moderation work this way?
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 banning users. Client side apps can show them as one community.
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
Pretty sure Summit is the only one to implement that so far.
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 :]
Showing an equal number of posts per community instead of letting the big ones dominate both "hot" and "top"
Alt text for blind people in images, a la Mastodon.
id be probably making it run on 100% green energy
Hide read posts only from the frontage. There should be an option to have them visible in their community itself to refer back later.
- Low hanging: user defined multi-communities
- Hard (high hanging fruit): allow users to look and behave like communities so that we can follow each other (and masto users too ) as we would normal communities, where each user has their own (or multiple!) “community” they can populate and moderate as they see fit.
You can follow people and do regular posts on kbin in case you didn't know yet.
The ability to make comments on my profile private so that no one can see what else you commented when someone goes to your profile.
Is there any point since there will be instances and websites that allow people to look you up? Not to mention there will be people who will archive everything on Lemmy. (Just like on Reddit)
That it's filled with Marxists.
Fact
Make each user function as an instance, to solve the mess of netsplits/defederation.
- No one is stopping you from hosting your own instance and doing just that.
- I'm sure people will just love it when they'll be told that they can move from Reddit to this brand new decentralized social network for the small fee of 5€/month to pay for their own VPS hosting their own instance (provided they are also experienced sysadmins). I'm sure that will not hinder the platform's growth at all.
This is hilarious, thanks for the giggle :))
