easy subscribe links - like, click on it and then subscribe, not the current method (which totally functions but its cumbersome and unwieldly).
More for jerboa, but RIF had an option to confirm you want to go back/refresh feed. My palm accidentally hits the back button often, and I have to start scrolling back from the top.

The mental cartwheels required to fathom why that was even made physically possible are almost beyond me.
Custom CSS themes, for the main interface, but also maybe on a per-community basis? I liked most of what I’d see on Reddit.
When people link other instances in posts or comments, it should automatically be translated to view it on your own instance instead of having to take it and search for it.
I like this one. Posted instance mentions were doing my head in as a newbie.
Karma
/s
I’m actually curious the reason why Lemmy does not have a karma equivalent.
I don’t miss it since I rarely checked my reddit karma but it does have pros and cons.
When i scroll on the website, the website header does not follow. Meaning if I want to go somewhere or refresh the feed, i have to scroll way up to do so. Its a bit frustrating.
In the meantime you can use Stylus, there are styles already supporting this, basically it’s just setting the navbar position to fixed.
Default to showing subscribed communities, rather than local ones. De-emphasise the server in certain areas (eg community list) - I think the community is more important than the server it’s on and having it there so prominently causes confusion about it’s importance.
I can see why it has the server focus but I’d argue most people want to join a general server with a wide reach rather than something isolated.
Though this is me trying to use Lemmy as “distributed Reddit” so maybe I just don’t get it.
User flairs!
There is an open issue already for some time. Hopefully with the new user influx this gets more attention. Certain communities, like sports, feel incomplete without flairs.
More of an app than a platform feature, but the ability to collapse all child comments.
On Jerboa at least you can do this by tapping on the comment
True, but I mean for all comments in the thread at once.
If you tap the top comment, it also hides all of the replies under it. Am I misunderstanding what you mean by thread?
I just tried it on jerboa! It works!
My only issue is the search function to find and subscribe to communities, and links are opening up on browser and not jerboa.
Other than that I’m having a fantastic experience.
user notes/tags editable anywhere the username shows, and shown next to the username thereafter.
User and post flares!
Ability to hide posts
Ways to group communities to browse at once rather than just local, all, and subscribed. A multi-Lemmy if you will.
This would be particularly useful now that a ton of tiny but similar places are springing up and vying for attention. That way you wouldn’t have to choose which to browse.
