A way to easily find and join subs, from my phone/in the app, so I can have my own feed. I’m not willing to set my stuff up on my computer. I’ve worked in IT for over twenty years and I hate doing anything on my computer anymore and can’t get myself to even try. It’s a me problem but it didn’t exist with Reddit. From Apollo I could find, subscribe, leave subs and have my own custom feed. I’d still use Reddit instead if they didn’t kill third party apps. But they did, so I try to make this work but it’s sucks trying to see content so I just don’t spend much time here either, which is fine, I’ve taken to doing crosswords instead when I’m looking to pass some time.
Hasn’t it been revealed that the devs are tankies who straight up refuse to implement features that they feel would undermine the cause?
For example, they have a hard coded Blocklist. There have been tickets to change this to instance implemented. Every time this comes up, the devs claim that this has already been implemented and lock discussion. However if you actually look at the commit sha the hard coded Blocklist is still in place.
Videos hosting or someway to more seamlessly share video content. The Reddit player sucked fat donkey dicks, but the idea of viewing video in a post instead of clicking out to some rando site is much preferred.
Since Lemmy is just a small federated alternative to Reddit, not that many people are gonna know about it. As a consequence, not that many communities that were on Reddit are as big on Lemmy, if they even exist at all.
It’s actually better because now I can cut down on social media usage and spend my time on actually productive things, like watching paint dry.
I love lemmy, don’t get me wrong, but I do miss the niche and specific game and music communities on there. Lemmy is mostly politics and memes at this point. All the more specific communities are very small.
One thing I could use is a good desktop web frontend. On desktop I’d much rather browse Reddit(old+res) than any of the clients I have found. All of the clients are missing usable keyboard navigation, or the interface is too clunky for my monitor.
I know some unofficial apps already have it but I like the idea of karma. Like nothing crazy with algorithms but just the summary of all the down/updoots on profiles
I used the hide post feature on Reddit as my main way of browsing to keep topics I was done with from clogging my feed and keeping me from seeing new things.
