More comments and engagement. See too many posts with zero comments. It’s the discussion and tangents about content that kept me scrolling over there.
I’d like people to make more posts rather than just comments. People are pretty good at commenting on posts that get made, but not so much at making posts themselves.
We’re also pretty good about replying to comments, but yes pretty shit about creating posts. Or communities. For instance I miss babyelephantgifs but I’m too lazy and incompetent to create/run it.
Reddit lets you create “multireddits” that show posts from a custom collection of subreddits. It would be cool if you could do the same for different communities, perhaps even pooling comment sections from posts with the same submission link. So you could aggregate content from all the technology/politics/whatever communities on various instances, and see combined comments on the same story from across the fediverse. Then you wouldn’t have to worry so much about being on the “right” instance, and could better leverage the size of the overall community instead of having it splintered and hard to discover.
The summit app does that.
It’s the one feature I really miss
Flairs for sure. I use a couple of sports subreddits and being able to contextualize comments based on the users fandom is pretty helpful.
I want the askahistoran mods here. Imagine millions will migrate to lemmy after that
Flairs and automod
Yeah, people love to bitch about automod, until a neonazi troll shits all over the place when a very simple set of automod filters could have prevented anyone seeing it.
Flairs allow superior filtering, simple as that.
I wish they had flairs on Reddit too. That was one of the broken features in the Web UI, both old and new (at least for me)
I agree. Auto mods make moderating a easier and Flairs allow you to easily sort content. I also think that if lemmy were to add flairs in the future they should also allow users to put more than one flair for posts that can fit in more than one catagory. Somthing reddit does not do.
I want the integration of wiki’s.
The elder scrolls lore subreddit was one of my favorites, people asking hyper specific questions about the birth of the universe in skyrim was really fun.
TesLore was one of my comfort subs. Although I will die on the hill that Tiber Septim never achieved CHIM
More content from entertainment shows as threads to explore. I love The challenge fromMTV, What we do in the shadows and other shows… I love having discussion with others after a new episode drops to see what others thought… I would like that here
Hiding posts. Half my feed is the same stuff I’ve seen already. I want to be able to hide that shit.
A variety of communities focused on women with regular activity
Regex filtering, so I can add “Reddit”.
You joke, but the more I’ve used regular expressions at work, the more I’m infuritated when something doesn’t support regex. Looking at you Excel!
A way of rewarding people for outstandingly good posts or comments, beyond just a simple upvote. I’ve seen some really great contributions on here that stand out above the run of the mill, and it would be nice to be able to give them some extra recognition, even at a cost to myself
Flairs on a community by community basis would be nice too
Sam Harris subreddit. It was the only place where one could have deep philosophical discussions without people losing their minds when you say something that sounds controversial. Used to have days long conversations there about morality, AI, free will, mediation and such.
Everybody else from Reddit.
