I'm not currently developing a Lemmy app, and I have no plans to, so this is not a market research post for myself. If anything, I'd like it to be a resource for existing developers to see which features the community most wants!

So, putting aside regular features (e.g. things that the Hard-R app already does), I'm specifically wondering about which less common features you all want?

Here's of one of mine:
I'd like to be able to limit my usage of an instance to a specific account. For example: I never want to post to LemmyNSFW from my main account. That's what my alt is for. So I want to be automatically switches to my preferred account per-instance when I interact with it (or at least give me the choice to switch on-the-fly when composing a post or comment).

I want the ability to block keywords in titles. IDGAF about twitter, Reddit, Elon, desantis, trump, Kanye.

Specifically as an iOS/Apollo refugee I want better media handling. Apollo Gif and Video player was excellent. I’d like to be able to scrub more easily. Better API integration with content hosts. Also better OS integration. I know people using Apollo got butt hurt because iOS put the text recognition image over the bottom corner of pics, but I got very used to being able to quickly copy text out of images and things like that. Also Memmy is never recommended in the OS where Reddit official app is constantly recommended despite my hardly ever using it. That’s the app asking the OS to be recognized based on usage factors, and it’s something the dev has to build in.

I would like a more broad fediverse app that can access mastodon and other sites more easily

Two features I'm really missing are related to revisiting or refreshing comment threads.

First, the ability to remember your spot on the scroll bar if you exit a thread and return later.

Second, highlighting new comments made since your last visit of the thread.

Highlighting new comments is something I really miss from Apollo. That app did it perfectly.

I'd love the "swipe between posts" functionality that Joey and the official Reddit app had.
