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.
Thise are good points and I see the appeal, but I like that lemmy doesn’t track the total karma a user has generated. It discourages karma farming, people love sering the number go up! I know this isn’t that but it still makes me nervous cos it’s adjacent to that.
tl;dr you’re not wrong, but let’s be careful :)
That’s not quite what @[email protected] is saying, though. They’re talking about, independently of one’s instance or the FV tracking a user’s karma for all to see, instead, a specific add-on tool (RES) allows individual users to track karmic interactions with other users.
Personally, I find it quite useful. RES also offered the ability to tag other users with notes, another helpful thing.
Exactly, both of those things are really awesome tools that I’d love to see here.
