1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

As someone who runs a community, the ability to disable downvotes and have more customization within that Community would help a great deal.
I also wouldn't mind the ability to post something like a Delta on a comment to show a changed view or something.
Multi-reddit-like functionality.
Users being able to group communities together themselves might also be a potential solution to the many, many posts complaining about the fragmentation of identical communities across instances.
A filter for USA centric posts / community / instances
Hide post button. Not always but sometimes I see a post I'm just not interested in or are questionable and don't want to see them
Less Linux 🫠
Look, I installed Linux on my back hair. 😁
I know that it's a core design feature of Lemmy and the underlying federation, but it's pretty annoying that multiple communities with the same name can exist on different instances while not necessarily following the same ruleset or even purpose.
The small user base gets even more fractured that way, a lot of posts get reposted to multiple instances as well.
So you either:
Native peertube support. I'd loved to be post a video have it just be federated.
I would like different types of nsfw tagging and categories like i don't wanna see porn but if it is a gruesome article or fucking insane story or question or pics i would like to have a way to acess them without seeing porn.
More users and more niche communities
If the goddamn TLDR bot updated regularly and if it appeared on every post with an article within 5 min.
Ability to hide posts you've seen and aren't interesting. I usually either block the user or the community, depending on how uninteresting it is.
Not really possible, but... Have an ability to filter content by region. Removing all US content related to politics and "boring dystopia" would be a happy trade for 80%? less user activity.
The first one is already doable to some extent. In settings you can disable "show read posts" and it'll hide every post You've already opened before.
Thanks for that!
A bit of a warning: currently "read posts" also includes your own posts on your profile. If you like to check in on your posts often it can be a bit annoying but otherwise it's a really really useful feature for general lemmy use.
Users. Sites like reddit and communities like Lemmy get their strengths (and weaknesses, but that's ok) from the size and contributions of their populations. Lemmy doesn't have enough yet.
Searchability. Not that Reddit's is good, but it's better especially when using a search engine.
Lemmy search improvements related to the UI or search results themselves?
Different commenter here.
I'd like 'search by post name' and 'search by keyword in discussions' features added to Jerboa UI.
I have to switch out to Voyager to do these searches.
I guess , from an external search engine ( like G or DDG )
Ability to filter out political posts. I've blocked a few communities, but politics still invades things like news, memes, etc.
It's impossible to completely block it, I'm just saying hypothetically, if I could remove everything remotely political, I would.
I like the idea. It almost needs to be a crowdsourcing effort.
Users can tag content or something
Language blocks or automatic translation More people that post content in my languages Hiding duplicate posts in stacked cards More non-Americans for a more global viewpoint
Somehow prevent multiple posts with the same content from showing up in my feed consecutively. Some people post to multiple communities (which is fine, if the content is relevant), but sometimes I see 3-4 identical posts by the same person in various communities, one after the other on my feed.
I've blocked some accounts who have done this excessively, but in many cases it's valid.
Now that cross posting directly is getting more support it would be cool for Lemmy to have a setting where it marks ALL cross posts as read as soon as one of them is. That way they would be filtered out by the "show read posts" setting along with the original.
I would love to reduce cross posted dups too
