I think the lack of hiding of previously viewed posts is one of my biggest gripes. I used to use Hide a lot in Reddit but all the alternatives are missing it.

A few other issues I have:

• the need to click into threads to open a link is annoying
• the inability to open comments and links in separate tabs/windows
• lack of flair - /r/nfl flair were really nice, for example

• Make remote community discovery more intuitive.
• Make remote community subscription more reliable.
• Make navigation & reading work without javascript.
• Make dark mode available when not logged in.
• Indicate which comments are new when returning to a recently-visited post. (old.reddit.com does this if you have premium.)
• Display user and community names with the domain part dimmed (and maybe on a separate line), for less visual clutter at a quick glance.
• Display user names without prepending an @ sign, for the same reason.
• Allow sorting community lists by name.
• Horizontally align all community names in lists, regardless of whether they have icons.
• Reduce wasted screen space.
• When reading a post/comment on any random instance (perhaps found via web search) make subscribing & finding that post on the user’s home instance a one-click operation, so they can reply.
• Optionally hide avatars & community icons.
• Optionally (admin choice) mirror remote instances’ images, so they can’t be abused by remote parties to track local users.
• Optionally (user choice) disable or replace remote images, for the same reason.
• Stop auto-inserting new items into a list that’s being viewed. (It causes what I’m reading to suddenly shift or disappear off-screen, which is disorienting.)
• Make buttons work reliably. (Clicking them sometimes applies a border without doing anything else.)

I already saw one user who posted great content including citations – adding user tags is what I miss.

It really needs an app and page with a decent and clean UI. (most important)

It also needs a more streamline way of finding communities.

It would be nice as well to have better feeds as well.

I miss Apollo :(

I’m presently working on changing the url schema to more match reddit’s,

Eg:

/post/{title}-{title_id}

/post/{title}-{title_id}/comments

Etc

For me it’s filtering out posts that I’ve already seen. Now I get the same posts over and over again.

I honestly just miss Apollo, since the layout and customization was amazing. I’d also look forward to seeing Slide being ported / forked for the Fediverse, since it’s free and open source.

Being able to customize swipe actions and quickly sort through content, as well as hiding content that I’ve already seen (so it doesn’t show up in my feed every time I refresh), were my favorite features by far.

On jerboa, I wish there was a way to enlarge images posted in commdnts

An easy way to search for and subscribe to non local communities would be great. Right now the search only considers “connected” instances and only considers the community name and not the sidebar or actual content.

I miss the information density of redreader. Everything just feels so spread out.

I’d love to see flairs. They were a great way to categorise posts in advance so you knew what you might want to click on.

I’m on kbin, but one thing I miss from RES on desktop is the ability to click and drag to resize expanded images

Lemmy Enhancement Suite

A “Mark Read on Scroll” feature. I’ve noticed each time I’m entering a previously viewed community I have to scroll past the stuff I’ve already seen. This could be user error as I’m fairly new to this.
