What are the features you MOST miss from Reddit? (Bonus pts for tech dudes-- any idea if they're on the dev- hoz?) (lemm.ee)

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.

Yeah, like I said the Lemmy setting is ridiculously generous with what it considers read and how it hides things. Best way to circumvent this is just to use an app that’s has the option to hide read posts in-app and doesn’t use the Lemmy settings. I think Voyager (formerly wefwef) does it, maybe Memmy? Not sure about the Android applications. Connect probably

I hit the FV with Chrome/FF, so I guess I'm out of luck with that. Still, hiding content is such a powerful feature that I reckon it will be implemented soon enough.

It certainly wouldn't hurt if the RES devs got busy on Lemmy.
