Desktop UI optimization would be nice. As it stands currently the site is using maybe 1/3 of my screen real estate and makes everything look super cramped/condensed.

A couple of things:

None of my posts are showing up in my profile

I just created two new posts. They haven't show up in the community I posted to.

This is something which is definitely not a priority. But accounts getting badges or something similar for completing milestones would be pretty amazing. Currently the profiles look really empty

here is just a random list of features/improvements i would like to see

• save sorting preferences in comment sections. right now it defaults to hot.
• improve the hot/active algorithms. at the moment they don't seems to actually show popular posts like their reddit hot/popular counterparts. could be a symptom of being much smaller, but i never see any of the lemmy communities i follow that aren't the biggest ones, and on reddit i can see the small communities i follow.
• better syncing between instances. i also use kbin, and that seems to have issues with cross content at times. i can't see comments sometimes, and votes are completely different on both platforms.
• more granular "Top X" filters
• search by date range, and various other improvements to search. (anything is better than reddit search, but the ability to search this platform is probably more important than people realize)
• more embed integrations for things like gifs and youtube videos. generally, try and keep people on the site.
• open links in a new tab by default. on mobile
• a back button on mobile, not a menu button.
• account/community migration/merging
• community themes, and the ability to turn them off.

this last one isn't really a request, it's more of an ultimatum.

• whatever the fuck new.reddit.com is/does/looks like, DON'T DO THAT. make this site look as much like old.reddit.com as possible and never change that.

Perhaps a personal preference, but I find it a lot more intuitive when clicking the post title opens the link to the content (webpage, image, etc) rather than going to the comments. To follow a post's link, I need to click on the "image", and that feels odd.

Certain communities seem to be inaccessible from Lemmy.world and vice versa. For instance, if I try to access /c/boston in Lemmy.ml via lemmy.world/c/boston@lemmy.ml, I get a "404: couldnt_find_community" error. Similarly, trying to access /c/boston in Lemmy.world from either Kbin.social (via kbin.social/m/boston@lemmy.world) or Lemmy.ml (via lemmy.ml/c/boston@lemmy.world) both give 404 errors.

I have only signed up today, so this may be something I'm doing on my end. But on the home screen, if I sort by "All", as opposed to "subscribed" or "local", after about a minute posts start streaming down the page at a very quick pace. It looks like when people comment on discord. I have tested this on both my phone and pc, and they both do it in my browser (firefox each time). Unfortunatley I cannot screenshot it, since that would just be a static image, and I don't know how to record my screen.

I've very curious if Lemmy could scale to sizes similar to Reddit. Would that require creating multiple instances? Is there a max active users that an instance could handle? Is there a way to load balance between servers?

I suspect this hasn't been done since Lemmy just recently exploded in popularity.

Communities that have been broken due to the bug regarding remote moderators are still unusable from outside lemmy.world, breaking federation: https://lemmy.world/post/209377

Assistance is needed from the administrators for all such communities.

I've clicked on the logout button several times and I'm still logged in.

#1 - Ctrl+Enter or Cmd+Enter to post comments or threads. #2 - Create the equivalent of Reddit's Front Page.
