A few ideas from the top of my head

Flairs that can be allowed to filter content in a community
Major online communites (can be subreddits, or other communities) moving to Lemmy
Reddit removing old.reddit
Reddit banning people using VPNs (already happening, see [email protected] )
Lemmy becoming the reference source of knowledge for a certain domain

Second point is probably crucial, but I don't see any major subreddit wanting to move here. StarTrek is the exception more that the rule.

Flairs would be super nice. I hope we could also have multiple flairs on a post, as opposed to how reddit has them limited to only 1. I reccon letting the Community/Instance owners take charge as to how many flairs posts could have would be the smartest option

I don't have much hopes on the Lemmy side unfortunately: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/317

Interesting variety of opinions on there, thanks for sharing that one.

I like our little group here debating how to make Lemmy better, even if nobody ever actually implements any of this stuff. It gives me better insight to how others use this site or social media in general, and I can use that to better use what tools I do actually have available.

You don't have to implement the platform to provide feedback on how you use it.

Car manufacturer ask drivers for their feedback to improve their models, not mechanics.
