We’ve got a lot of Lemmy app options rolling out soon—it’s exciting!

What do you wish was better about the current way you browse Lemmy, and what features do you hope to have down the road?

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but the biggest feature for me would be an automatic redirect to your current instance if you click on a fedi link to another instance

It's annoying when someone links a post from another instance, and I click the link but I can't interact since I'm not logged in on that URL

Basically, if you're on one instance and click on a link to a post from another instance, it should open that post on your current instance. The desktop version of Lemmy needs this too.

This is really my biggest point of contention with the fediverse atm. Needs to be easier to interact across instances without copying, pasting, editing, or typing in URLs

When using lemmy in the browser, there are some userscripts that do this.

but I would love to see this as sort of default behavior, so that the user indeed does not have to "fight" the system to get it to subscribe properly.
