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.

This has been suggested many times, but we need a way to link comments and posts in an instance-agnostic way. Getting pulled to a new instance when you click a link is very confusing for new users. Another use case that was common on reddit that won't work without this feature is you can't have a stickied post with links to other important posts in the community. People will get pulled into the instance that the linker is in, which means people who follow the link will be logged out (unless their account is on the same instance as OP) and won't be able to interact with the post.

This isn't a nice-to-have feature. This is a must-have feature.
