Better cross-posting detection support, subscribe to all 3 communities and I'd appreciate Lemmy could understand that this is the same link in those 3 communities and visualize it as a cross-post:

MODERATORS
To name a few big ones for me:
-
spoilers
-
flairs/tagging
-
a better mod portal
-
automod bots
-
database stability
-
wiki support
-
saved posts being in the ORDER I SAVED THEM not the order they were posted. That's basic functionality man!
ITT:
-
Following users
-
better crossposting
-
more users ( I think the other issues cause this one a bit)
Spoilers work, do it like this:
Some visible text
And the text you want hidden
Some visible text
And the text you want hidden
Works on web and on Jerboa.

Tagging other users already is a feature in Connect, spoilers (in textbodies) work on all apps that I used and bots are getting made right now and it is only a matter of time until they are as ubiquitous as on reddit.
Not tagging other users, tagging posts, flairs. Spoilers via markdown yes, but no tag to mark something as a show spoiler.
I feel like the main lacking point would be a small user base. I'm new to Lemmy as of a few months ago since the Reddit API changes. I wish more people knew of the other options out there other than Reddit. It's really only a minority of people who left and jumped to Lemmy.
-
individual option to block instances on your own account
-
something similar to what reddit calls multireddits which are basically custom feed collections that allows you to save certain sibreddits to it to only have a feed of specific subreddits you can open up and browse
I suppose the big ones for me:
- The ability to follow people which would unlock a lot more interoperability between other Fediverse services.
- A wiki for each community.
edit: And
- Better moderation tools, especially merging or moving posts.
Mastodon interoperability for me too
Kbin has follower support, it's just hit or miss an which federated instances update properly, for example misskey doesn't show me posts newer than a week old

Video posts are something I kind of miss, particularly for gaming communities to share clips of gameplay
A way to block porn instances
Yeah and can you even block instances at all? I feel like every 10 posts I have to block another community that uses another language. With reddit I never had this issue
Alernately, a convenient way to view only SWF posts, both SFW & NSFW posts, or only NSFW posts ...
For that last, and I am sure many other uses, a way to only see subscribed communities from a given instance - we shouldn't have to create new accounts on every instance we consider useful enough to do this, and for those instances, they shouldn't have to bear the burden of everyone who considers them so useful creating accounts with them and visitting them directly every time the fancy strikes; That's effectively just punishing the most useful and popular instances with additional server costs.
EDIT: Forgot to mention: Lemmyverse.com community search already handles NSFW exactly as I am suggesting.
I mean… it’s clearly “users”.
The lemmy world is organically growing, we are seeing an uptic in users every month on most instances, even excluding bots. I think as the experience gets less glitchy, lemmy will continue to get more popular.
Let me group up custom lists of communities, just like custom subreddits on Reddit

- Filtering posts with keywords and hiding posts manually.
Certain topics cause unnecessary anxiety, on reddit they were easy to avoid with RES. Here the only way to remove a post from haunting you from your timeline is to block the poster, which is bit overkill.
Could you explain a little bit this concept please? This will go to write a document that describes the next milestones for Lemmy.
- Filtering posts with keywords
User can specify keywords that are used to filter and exclude the users own subscription timeline from posts that include the words in the post-topic.
For example: User adds the keyword "died" in the settings to a filter list. The topic "Great actor of movie X has died" will now not appear in the feeds. There also could be a more advanced version of this that allows to assign keywords to different communities.
- Hiding posts manually
In every post, the tools in the "three dot overflow"-menu should include an option for "Hide post", which makes that post disappear from the feed.

Some niche communities are lacking, though I don’t see them existing/growing without a large increase in userbase, since they’re you know, niche. Cities for instance… some I used to frequent on reddit exist on Lemmy, but are naturally not as active. Also I used to talk in (hooray) a couple subs about chronic illnesses which are like, 1% or less of the population, maybe more since sometimes it would be family members or parents talking. Celiac, type 1 diabetes. Same as cities there are communities about those but they are not very active yet.
Reddit used to be niche, things take time
Sure, I'm not surprised since as noted, these are niche interests. I could contribute by posting articles or writing content myself to help it grow.
Dedicated users posting is the best way to slowly grow communities like that. It's much less likely others will post if it seems like a ghost town, but if someone is posting others are much more likely to join in. And at the very least there'll be content to engage with when new people find it.
yeah, for example.... when reddit was beginning they made fake accounts and posted to pretend there were users. Thankfully lemmy/kbin/mastodon etc are past that point, for the most part, but for certain communities I might as well be there talking to myself. I don't mean that as a bad thing!
Like others have said, it's the niche communities. I still go to reddit some times because of small subreddits like r/progressionfantasy, or the subreddits for a book series.
I still miss the r/imaginary... network of subreddits but I'm not going to use reddit

I don't like pages, I want infinity scrolling. I want bigger previews on images without having to open the thread.
Stability
Wiki Communities please!
- The ability to post the same post to multiple community's
- a native video player / video support
The ability to post the same post to multiple community’s
Unless I've misunderstood, you can do that now.

I actually made a bunch of feature requests, there are a few reddit enhancement suite features i wanted but what i want most is the ability to incrementally read the comments of a post by marking comments as read (really useful if there is a subject i am particularly interested in or is particularly meaningful).
Lack of ads. And I mean that in a transparancy way, people are going to promote stuff ('look at this cool project i've been working on', 'someone needs money in this crowdfunding, after i tell you this long, heartbreaking story') it would be nice to see markings if a post has a direct benefactor and who that benefactor would be, to decide early if you want to engage.
Ability to hide posts and they stay hidden.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/KMU0tzLwhbE
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Pull Requests 😂
Have federation happen on the instance level. What I mean is, the admin should be able to federate with the instance itself and all its communities.
Dunno if this has been mentioned before, but I'd like a way to favourite a community, so that all its post will show up on the main page feed until I've seen them. Because I miss out on posts on some of the smaller communities I follow unless I go to that community's page.
That way I'd be able to see 'em and try and make those smaller instances grow by commenting and upvoting.
