Heyo, what little things with Reddit and RES have you been missing with the Lemmy UI?
For me it’s been keyboard post/comment navigation (like RES) and keyboard shortcuts. E.g. I can’t post this submission with ctrl + enter as I could on many other input forms.
Jerboa needs a lot of work. Especially on the UI front.
I want to be able to collapse children comments from the parent.
You can, just tap the parent comment.
I think the lack of hiding of previously viewed posts is one of my biggest gripes. I used to use Hide a lot in Reddit but all the alternatives are missing it.
A few other issues I have:
- the need to click into threads to open a link is annoying
- the inability to open comments and links in separate tabs/windows
- lack of flair - /r/nfl flair were really nice, for example
Hiding viewed/voted posted is a setting “show read”, un-check it.
Yeah, I think that a helps a bit but if it requires actually opening the thread, then it’s only a mild improvement. I’d really prefer mark as read or hide without opening the thread (there’s a lot of threads I have no interest in reading but are hanging around the front page).
I appreciate the suggestion though. It does help a little.

On the Jerboa app, swiping right to go back to to previous page. And the ability to hide viewed posts on both mobile app and browses.
I didn’t know how much I did this until I used Jerboa
Keyword filtering from RES.
Also, equivalent of setting up and saving multisubreddits, which helps for accessing communities that are the same but across different instances.
There is an open ticket or multigroups: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818, so you might want to give that a thumbs up to show interest.
Oh, I like it! A multi-subreddit should be a must-have for a federated community like Lemmy.
It would create a simple way to lump together all these Gaming group (from different servers) into a single view. Such a feature would improve visibility and also (hopefully) reduce the amount of noise/duplicate content (ie: one trailer being reposted to each Gaming channel/server)
Ooh, I definitely agree with multireddits. I’d be super nice to look at certain communities on the same feed without subscribing to them by default

Just curious - what sort of keywords would you be filtering out if you could?
Very common one I did would be something I wanted to avoid spoilers for. So example would be blocking “House of the Dragon” and “Fire and Blood” so I didn’t accidentally see any spoilers from random posts whether it be from before the episode aired, or from book readers who had read everything.
Particularly useful for anime where most stuff is based off the manga, which manga readers are sometimes really eager to give hints at. Like “oh don’t be attached this character hehehe”. “Oh you’re in for a twist soon.”
And of course game, I’m not going often getting games when everyone is talking about them the most. So I prefer to block out stuff so things can remain fresh when I get around to it.

I already saw one user who posted great content including citations – adding user tags is what I miss.
Yes! Everything RES adds would be nice!
On jerboa, I wish there was a way to enlarge images posted in commdnts
Yes, I agree! I’d also love it if, when you click a link, it shows the full true link and then let’s you choose whether or not you want to go there, like RiF does.
That way if someone posts a link behind some text, you have a better idea of what you’re getting into before it just pops up on your screen. Could be what they said it was, could be a Rick Roll, could be awful brain-scarring porn like Leon Party…
This, as well as a builtin browser and a way to view URLs before opening them (like RIF does).
I’m presently working on changing the url schema to more match reddit’s,
Eg:
/post/{title}-{title_id}/post/{title}-{title_id}/commentsEtc.
I have all the code changes locally but waiting for a new PSU fot my home server to come in tomorrow for my dev server as i dont feel like setting up postgres etc on my laptop
A way to jump to the next comment within a level. Infinity had a big button to jump to the next top level comment, and the reddit web page you can click on the colored bar that aligns the comment levels to jump to the next comment.
I miss Apollo :(
And RiF. The ability to search for subs and create topic groups, etc.
We have been spoiled by both! I use the Melm iPhone app which is still in beta, and there are a TON of features I want… which I realize was just Apollo! It stinks that the development of new features we enjoyed with Apollo is kind of back at square 1 with new apps.
I’m on Beehaw with a couple of subscriptions to communities in other instances. I like viewing all of the local Beehaw communities as a “front page”, but I’d like my other subscriptions to show up in that view without having to manually subscribe to all of the Beehaw communities.
I honestly just miss Apollo, since the layout and customization was amazing. I’d also look forward to seeing Slide being ported / forked for the Fediverse, since it’s free and open source.
Being able to customize swipe actions and quickly sort through content, as well as hiding content that I’ve already seen (so it doesn’t show up in my feed every time I refresh), were my favorite features by far.
A “Mark Read on Scroll” feature. I’ve noticed each time I’m entering a previously viewed community I have to scroll past the stuff I’ve already seen. This could be user error as I’m fairly new to this.
Absolutely agree. THis is a big one for me
For me it’s filtering out posts that I’ve already seen. Now I get the same posts over and over again.
Yes agree I so want this.
- stop refreshing the front page/inserting new posts automatically
- mark as read on scroll past
- multireddit
- decent ipad app - mlem is a rgeat start on iphone but no ipad support
- consistent ‘go back’ experience - I have on a number of occasions gone into a post then clicked browser back button only to be presented with a completely different list of posts on my front page
