Firstly, there is the unstoppable flood of new posts that are added while browsing "All". Although this doesn't happen when using the Jerbea app, it sometimes renders "All" unusable in the browser.

This will be resolved once websockets are removed with the next update:

Secondly, the issue of the same posts being displayed for days under "Hot". There is already a pull request for this, so it has been fixed and just needs to be implemented:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3076

Now, the only remaining points for me are:

Links to external instances should automatically be transformed when opened so that one can participate with the account of their own instance. For example, lemmy.world/c/memes should automatically become feddit.de/c/[email protected].
Communities from different instances should be able to merge, allowing users to see the content of all communities across different instances.

You subscribe to a instance of a community.

Then within that community interface should be a list of all external instances of the same name,
that you can just click all the check boxes to sub to those too,

You now have a feed of that instance name that pulls from all of the instances,

and you can opt out of individual instances being in your feed, of ones where moderation is particularly bad for that particular instance.

So if I find /m/memes here on kbin... sub to it, then within that sub, I should see a list of

[email protected]
[email protected]
memes@lemmywhatever
memes@shitworks

and I can click check boxes or auto-sub to them all.

and when I go to /m/memes, I would see posts from all memes@xxxxxxx, but I could also uncheck [email protected] if I'm finding a lot of lemmy.ml posts are not being moderated well

In the future, that list may be ridiculous in size, so add a filter option that it only shows instances that meet a threshold of users or subs.

Example, only show memes@xxxxxxx of instances that have > 1000 users... or maybe 10000 users. eventually you'll get a useable list of the most popular instances only.

It wouldn't be much different than a filter system on a typical game server browser...
