Heyo, what little things with Reddit and RES have you been missing with the Lemmy UI?
For me it’s been keyboard post/comment navigation (like RES) and keyboard shortcuts. E.g. I can’t post this submission with ctrl + enter as I could on many other input forms.
I already saw one user who posted great content including citations – adding user tags is what I miss.
Yes! Everything RES adds would be nice!
I miss Apollo :(
And RiF. The ability to search for subs and create topic groups, etc.
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
Hiding viewed/voted posted is a setting “show read”, un-check it.
Yeah, I think that a helps a bit but if it requires actually opening the thread, then it’s only a mild improvement. I’d really prefer mark as read or hide without opening the thread (there’s a lot of threads I have no interest in reading but are hanging around the front page).
I appreciate the suggestion though. It does help a little.
I just vote up or down. When you pull down to refresh, they disappear.

On the Jerboa app, swiping right to go back to to previous page. And the ability to hide viewed posts on both mobile app and browses.
I didn’t know how much I did this until I used Jerboa
I’m presently working on changing the url schema to more match reddit’s,
Eg:
/post/{title}-{title_id}/post/{title}-{title_id}/commentsEtc.
I have all the code changes locally but waiting for a new PSU fot my home server to come in tomorrow for my dev server as i dont feel like setting up postgres etc on my laptop
Keyword filtering from RES.
Also, equivalent of setting up and saving multisubreddits, which helps for accessing communities that are the same but across different instances.
There is an open ticket or multigroups: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818, so you might want to give that a thumbs up to show interest.
Oh, I like it! A multi-subreddit should be a must-have for a federated community like Lemmy.
It would create a simple way to lump together all these Gaming group (from different servers) into a single view. Such a feature would improve visibility and also (hopefully) reduce the amount of noise/duplicate content (ie: one trailer being reposted to each Gaming channel/server)
Ooh, I definitely agree with multireddits. I definitely want to be able to look at certain communities on the same feed without subscribing to them by default

Just curious - what sort of keywords would you be filtering out if you could?
Very common one I did would be something I wanted to avoid spoilers for. So example would be blocking “House of the Dragon” and “Fire and Blood” so I didn’t accidentally see any spoilers from random posts whether it be from before the episode aired, or from book readers who had read everything.
Particularly useful for anime where most stuff is based off the manga, which manga readers are sometimes really eager to give hints at. Like “oh don’t be attached this character hehehe”. “Oh you’re in for a twist soon.”
And of course game, I’m not going often getting games when everyone is talking about them the most. So I prefer to block out stuff so things can remain fresh when I get around to it.
- 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’m on Beehaw with a couple of subscriptions to communities in other instances. I like viewing all of the local Beehaw communities as a “front page”, but I’d like my other subscriptions to show up in that view without having to manually subscribe to all of the Beehaw communities.
A way to jump to the next comment within a level. Infinity had a big button to jump to the next top level comment, and the reddit web page you can click on the colored bar that aligns the comment levels to jump to the next comment.

So far everything is just a case of getting used to it for me. I’m using the Jerboa app, and the two biggest improvements I can see right now are 1) allowing me to change the default sort (top, new, active, etc.). I can change it every time I open the app, but I’d like to be able to set it and forget it and 2) I’m not a huge fan of pinned posts staying at the top of my feed no matter how I’m sorting it, although this would also be solved by hiding already read posts, I suppose.

ctrl+enter already has a PR
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.
Absolutely agree. THis is a big one for me
Lemmy Enhancement Suite
I would love for links to other Lemmy domains to be localized to your home domain by default. It could also include a small button to then switch over to the other instance if you wanted to register a separate account there.
I would like this one a lot. It doesn’t happen TOO much, but clicking a link and realizing you can’t comment/upvote because you aren’t logged in (because it isn’t your instance!) is jarring.
