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.
