What are the biggest upgrades/fixes that you would like to see done to Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

For me its having a single instance that indexes all the communites to which all other instances can then pull that information from so when I go searching for communities the I’ll have access to every single one with needing to post the entire URL in the search bar

Being able to mark post as read, and have them be hidden from my feed. Or hide posts I have upvoted/downvoted.

Also it would be really nice to have the ability to group communities together from my view point. So instead of a single lemmy feed with all of my subscriptions mixed together I can have multiple feeds each based on say a single topic. Say I have a group called Gaming. and in that I have [email protected] and [email protected] [email protected] etc.. etc.. I think this would also help the issue with having similar communities on multiple instances. For example We have [email protected] [email protected] I could subscribe to both and just use a single group to view them both. Instead of having to view one at a time.

Edit,

Oh here is another one. It would be great if lemmy links were automatically converted to your local instance.

For example someone linked this https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/61827

Sure this works for everyone but it takes you out of your lemmy instance if your not using lemmy.blahaj.zone. I am a user of lemmy.ml, so from my prospective going to lemmy.blahaj.zone doesn't give me any options to interact with that content. I would need to manually find that post from my instance that I am logged into. From my prospective that link should have been converted into lemmy.ml link and go here https://lemmy.ml/post/1160417 so I can seamlessly interact with it.

That's already a setting. Show Read Posts

Having to group communities is going to be fun when there are hundreds of instances with the same communities. It would be nice but I would also like if all similar communities were already merged so you see the same content in all of them, maybe doing it by name but that wouldn't catch all of them so it would have to be manual, that's quite the task.
