META: Feature Requests

If you are a mod or a user and would like to request a feature or tool, please submit your idea as a comment on this post. This is where we will officially pull from when we decide which features to develop.

Please note we are a small volunteer team and we intend to work with mainline Lemmy, so if there are already features in development we may not take them on ourselves.

Being able to flair posts is pretty big, the cosmere community uses them for book-specific spoiler tagging.

This is in the pipeline :)

One nice thing about Lemmy is post titles can be edited, which means title tags can be edited if they're wrong. A big motivator of flair for spoilers on Reddit was it can be edited, unlike titles there. So it's not AS essential a feature as it was on Reddit.

But it would be a very nice thing to have. :)

Guess this one will come after we can flair posts, but being able to filter posts so you don't accidentaly stumble upon spoilers is pretty big

I didn't even think of filtering by flair. I will add it to the list, this could be pretty important.

User flairs would be amazing. For a gardening community, each user would have their climate zone after their name - like Spacebar Zone 6a

I've added this to our list of requested features internally

Thanks so much

compact view on front page. Or even all the pages. Please let me save screen space.

lemmy.ca just implemented old.lemmy.ca, which is absolutely amazing. I'm not sure how much work is involved in implementing that, but it's a nice QOL improvement over the standard lemmy interface.

Oh wow, I will look into this and see if it is something our devs want to think about.

In the meantime, alexandrite.app is a nice alternative for browsing as well.

Ok, that's amazing 🤩

Looks like the repo is here: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

The ability to save drafts of posts would be nice but I understand that it could potentially take up a lot of server space. Would it be possible to make it save locally to the user's computer?
