easy subscribe links - like, click on it and then subscribe, not the current method (which totally functions but its cumbersome and unwieldly).
User and post flares!
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.
Karma might work on a per instance basis, but if implemented on a federation wide scale you’d have to trust every instance. It would be far too easy to artificially increase your karma with your own rogue instance just by editing the database.
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.
User flairs!
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.
Better ways to explore the communities available. Also maybe improving the Android app ecosystem.

Turn off auto refresh feed.
user notes/tags editable anywhere the username shows, and shown next to the username thereafter.
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!
an ability to re-order search results, eg in the communities list page having it so that we can click on a column and have the results sort according to that column, or alphabetically or most recent.
and some way of filtering the results would be good as well
the ability to create communities in other instances than the one that our accounts are in. i’d rather use a server in my local region than have to go to the other side of the planet where there’s a populated server
Why not just make the community in your local instance?
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.
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.
