Guessing fixing child porn propagation isn’t the highest priority?

Make it easier for server admins to connect/link to the child porn hash databases, scripts for autobans + deletion of any content, flagging + notify to other servers etc.

• Reports categories based on both the community, the instance of the community + the user to reduce report noise between mod actions and admin actions.

• Post tags, to label content within a community.

• Better language support, clearly indicating which ones are allowed when submitting something in the language dropdown, as well as basic language detection support.

• When the instance is using pictrs, add a section in the user’s settings to see all the uploaded pictures in that account, with the ability to delete any of them.

• Better accessibility / a11y support for uploaded images with alt-text.

• Support for svg-based emojis

• For mods, the ability to make a pinned post made by one of the mods editable by other mods, which would be useful for FAQs, etc.

• The ability to subscribe/follow a specific user, not just communities.

• Passkeys support as a 2FA method.

• Some basic builtin automod action, such as blocking known keywords from spammers from being posted, not just showing as removed as when using the slur filter in the admin settings.

EDIT: Something I just thought of

• A URI protocol handler to refer to communities, users, post and comments in an instance-independant way (ie: lemmy://u/[email protected], lemmy://c/[email protected], lemmy://c/[email protected]/p/1234567) or another syntax that makes more sense. That way you could let the OS redirect the query to the software of your choice, and define your home instance there.

Now there are some issues to figure out before defining the URI handler, like how to refer to a post or comment that will redirect to the appropriate one on your home instance since post and comment currently have a unique ID on each instance, which makes them hard to directly address without doing some kind of conversion.

It would be nice if I was not logged out every few hours when browsing on iOS (safari). It’s annoying and I often just read threads logged out, then get sad when I can’t upvote without scrolling to the top to log in again.

Sort by two filters at once (top this day, controversial this week, …)

Controversial and others are literally useless, its always the same posts

Not sure if this is Lemmy or the app I use, but I would like my saved content to appear in the order it was saved. It sucks when I save something old and am unable to find it when I look at my saved items.

Split NSFW into NSFW and NSFL.

Brigaders.

People with like 10 accounts that upvote themselves/downvote dissent.

Saving is broken.

When showing a saved post or comment, show them in order of save instead of original post date. If I save an article, go to find it the next day, it’s not there. Turns out it was sorted under 6mos ago when it was originally posted.

Cross instance post/comment deletion.

Sometimes I just don’t want my comments to live forever and deleting shouldn’t be impossible.

Better default UI and general refinement

Some system to make sure communities are on sync.

a huge chunk of content is based around video nowadays. so i would like to see video support

Accountability and transparency in moderation. You aren’t even made aware when you’re banned from a place, you have to go out of your way to see and even then you have zero recourse in changing the decision if it was made in error. It’s even worse when you get banned from your instance because it’s just suddenly you can’t log in and you don’t even know why. You can’t even transfer to a new instance. Pretty shit for something that can be done on the whim of a single person.

Somewhat related, as Lemmy continues to balkanize between pro-fascist instances (such as lemmy world, sh.ithole, and beehaw) and those explicitly against it (lemmy ml, lemmygrad, hexbear) the only way for users to opt out of interacting with users from those instances is to get yourself banned from the instance itself. I don’t mince words and have a zero-tolerance policy for injustice so it’s not hard for a person like me to catch those bans, but that’s hardly ideal for the federation as a whole to have to rely on something they can’t control in order to have a tolerable experience not constantly marred by some of the shittiest harassing assholes the federation has to offer.

EDIT: Maybe outright comment blocking on instances is a bit much, but absolutely auto-hide should be a thing.

I would like to see recommendations for communities based on my communities. It’s not trivial to solve, but discoverability isn’t great right now.

Sometimes when I’ve found new communities on non local instances I’m unable to subscribe directly and I get a screen where it asks me what instance I’m subscribing from and when I click the only suggestion “lemmy.world” it doesn’t recognize it as valid. I know you can subscribe to these communities in distant instances by using the local search bar with an exclamation point in front of it but it’s a convoluted process and could be streamlined.

There NEEDS to be an account migration option, with not only settings but also my saved posts and comments, own posts and comments etc. If not possible, at least allow an export in the style of a gddpr dump from the likes of facebook etc. to allow import at a later time when implemented.

My instance is shutting down at the end of the month (~500 users) and there is no good way to export my data. I would not be surprised if some of the 500 get frustrated and stop with lemmy.
