Less news and politics and more activity on communities covering niche topics as well as more of just general discussion about everyday stuff.
Some sort of built-in system for checking for reposts. As is, Lemmy’s search is a lot more limitted for that sort of thing, so I always feel anxious making a post, worried that I’m just going to repost something recent, and unintentionally spam the community.
More single purpose instances
More positivity. Or more positivity upvoated maybe. Basically it seems like complaining and negative posts get way more attention than positive ones.
For example I keep seeing a lot of posts from the Linux community that aren’t about cool Linux things but about how bad Microsoft/Windows is. Note that I don’t follow said community so I only see the stuff that reaches the frontpage.
More posts and communities about just genuinely cool stuff would make lemmy a lot more fun to browse.
More users, and less crazy people. Sometimes it’s ridiculous either what people will argue about, or how mean they’ll be.
If a basic summary is 100% accurate you will get torn to shreds.
