Please post one top-level comment per complaint about Lemmy. You can reply with ideas or links to existing GitHub issues that could address the complaints. This will help identify both common complaints and potential solutions.

I believe there are a large number of feature requests on Lemmy’s GitHub page, making it difficult for developers to prioritize what’s truly important to users. I propose creating a periodic post on Lemmy asking users to list their complaints and suggestions. This way, developers can better understand the community’s biggest pain points and focus their efforts accordingly. The goal is to provide constructive feedback so developers can prioritize the most pressing issues.

The goal is to provide constructive feedback so developers get clear insights into the issues impacting users the most. Please keep discussion productive and focused on specific problems you’ve encountered. Avoid vague complaints or feature wishes without justification for why they are important.

Here is a summary of all the complaints from the last post. It’s interesting to see how many issues have been solved and whether or not developers value user feedback.

    I wish they’d port reddit’s old multireddit feature over, and make those lists shareable.
