I started up my own instance and now I have realized that there’s no reason anyone would join mine instead of any other instance.

That’s no good. What neat stuff would the Fediverse like to see in a Lemmy instance?

  • Follow RSS feeds in your Lemmy feed? I have that already, in a way, but it would be nice to be able to do it for any feed automatically without it being clunky.
  • Follow Mastodon users? Or tags?
  • Embedded video? That seems costly.
  • Hackability? The ability to run your own customized front end? Or good scripting features in the browser console?
  • A better looking UI? This one is functional but it’s not pretty.
  • Better moderation? I have heard the Lemmy tools aren’t that good.
  • Something else?

    Are the the moderator views not what you’re asking for here?

      The mod view only shows you the posts, not the comments. To see the newer comments you still need to open each post individually.

          I didn’t! Now I feel like a muppet. Thank you for pointing it out.

          (Holy fuck I was in desperate need for something already there.)
