Please post one top-level comment per complaint. Then others can reply with ideas or existing GitHub issues that could address that complaint. This helps identify both common complaints and potential solutions.

You can also reply on [email protected] to better organize the discussion:

I believe there are a large number of feature requests on Lemmy's GitHub page, making it difficult for developers to prioritize what's truly important. I propose creating a quarterly pinned post on Lemmy asking users for complaints and suggestions. This way, developers can better understand the community's biggest pain points and what to focus on. The goal is to provide constructive feedback so developers can prioritize the most pressing issues.

Please keep discussion productive and focused on specific problems. Avoid vague complaints or feature wishes without justification. Our aim is to give developers clear insights into issues impacting users most.

I would like an option within settings to get comments sorted by 'Top' (or new/hot) when I open any post. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is particularly needed because when you sort by Top manually it reloads the page and requires scrolling through the sometimes very long post body again.

Finally, confirmation that I'm not dumb and that this is really missing! Seems very odd that something so basic as sort order has been left out of the settings.

I for one am changing the sort order to Top, manually, on Every. Single. Page.

Boost (a Lemmy app) allows this and it is a good feature yeah

I thought boosts were basically "+2 Upvote". Unless maybe that's just Kbin's implementation.
