An single sided interactive mirror of Reddit's communities.

It would be lovely to have all that content directly available right here.

And to be able to discuss the content with other Lemmy users.

But without being able to discuss / send back to the Reddit users.

There's an instance lemmit.online that mirrors reddit content and you can subscribe to the communities.

Like others said, there is so much content it's hard to get conversations going, it works better to cross post interesting content to a lemmy community.

I'm on kbin, so Ernest coming back sure would be a huge boost.

So I'm scrolling down the All feed. Bottom of first page. Click Next Page. I get another page. Some of them are the same posts as on the first page because whatever algorithm ranks them for display just ran again and they got ranked in a different order.

I see one I'm interested in. I click on it. It loads, I leave a comment. I click Back to get back out to the feed. I'm on the first page again. It didn't remember my place.

For people to stop using downvoting as a method of disagreeing and only for content that is not appropriate.

If everyone here came to life and we could all hang out every day IRL

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'd like a feed where I can't see something again that I already scrolled past = saw.

If I could cross post in Sync like I can on the website.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cross-posting to other communities or onto other platforms?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Other communities. I'm participating in [email protected] but we have only a few people posting there, so when I see a post in worldnews or something about Korea I like to cross post it to there.

Language blocks or automatic translation More people that post content in my languages Hiding duplicate posts in stacked cards More non-Americans for a more global viewpoint

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

More diverse politics stances rather than just commies and liberals

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That’s not very “owns the means of production” of you.

But all joking aside, there’s something fundamentally socialist about the fediverse. Like it’s by design decentralized to let people own their instance.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Honestly I just and less politics. More diverse just means more fighting. I just want less politics in subs that are not inherently political.

Ability to hide posts you've seen and aren't interesting. I usually either block the user or the community, depending on how uninteresting it is.

Not really possible, but... Have an ability to filter content by region. Removing all US content related to politics and "boring dystopia" would be a happy trade for 80%? less user activity.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The first one is already doable to some extent. In settings you can disable "show read posts" and it'll hide every post You've already opened before.

Native peertube support. I'd loved to be post a video have it just be federated.

  • a culture of providing summaries for links

  • fewer videos and images

  • ability to crosspost comments or textposts from within the fediverse

  • reading lists beyond just subscribed (a la "multireddits")

  • the ability to tag other users a la RES

  • user flair for munis

  • better mod controls (eg. make it easier to add or remove additional mods, automoderation, more streamlined reporting, federate moderation more effectively)

  • better control of a user's own content (eg. being able to delete posts effectively)

  • ninja edits for tupos

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Where are you seeing videos? Or are you talking about links to YouTube?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hide post button. Not always but sometimes I see a post I'm just not interested in or are questionable and don't want to see them
