For me-- Lemmy is getting dangerously close to pulling me away from Reddit, and I love it, but still, there’s a ways to go in terms of ‘critical features,’ yeah?

So then, here’s two of mine below. What are yours?

  • I’d still very much like to HIDE threads I’m not interested in. Otherwise, no matter what stream I choose (Subscribed | Local | All), I keep seeing the same topics, and it can be downright difficult paging through streams to see new stuff from more communities. That’s not good, frankly.

  • I very much want the ability to create *more* custom streams. On Reddit, those streams are called “MultiReddits,” and let me tell you, they rock! For instance, my one “Series” multi-reddit consists of these:

/r/1950sx /r/1960sx /r/andykaufmanx /r/Asterixx /r/blackadderx /r/CoenBrothersx /r/Comics_Studiesx /r/DepthHubx /r/fathertedx /r/FawltyTowersx /r/Flintstonesx /r/FoolUsx /r/HannaBarberaCUx /r/Holmesx /r/InconvenienceStorex /r/jimjefferiesx /r/lettermanx /r/ligneclairex /r/Muppetsx /r/newsradiox /r/OldSchoolCelebsx /r/peeweex /r/pennandtellerx /r/philipkDickheadsx /r/postapocalypticx /r/silentmoviegifsx /r/TheAdventuresofTintinx /r/TheFlintstonesx /r/TNGx /r/tosx /r/venturebrosx

So that’s just /one/ of my 12+ stream groups (“MultiReddits”), and I love how one can parse them so specifically by community, you know?

I’d absolutely adore it such functionality could extend to Lemmy / the FV, one day.

    I believe multi communities have been suggested before. Not sure if there’s an issue for it on GitHub yet.

    There is at least one issue for that already.

    I would like to see the ability to hide posts without having to “read” them first. I usually know right in the list if I have any interest in the topic and will open it if I do, but I’d like to be able to hide it if I don’t. Otherwise what happens is my list gets stale with posts that I’m not interested in unless I go through and “read” each one. If this feature already exists, I haven’t found it.

      Yeah I don’t think that feature is there. Wefwef has the ability to swipe to hide posts, not sure about other apps or lemmy-ui
