For me-- Lemmy is getting dangerously close to pulling me away from Reddit, and I love it, but still, there’s a ways to go in terms of ‘critical features,’ yeah?
So then, here’s two of mine below. What are yours?
-
I’d still very much like to HIDE threads I’m not interested in. Otherwise, no matter what stream I choose (Subscribed | Local | All), I keep seeing the same topics, and it can be downright difficult paging through streams to see new stuff from more communities. That’s not good, frankly.
-
I very much want the ability to create *more* custom streams. On Reddit, those streams are called “MultiReddits,” and let me tell you, they rock! For instance, my one “Series” multi-reddit consists of these:
/r/1950sx /r/1960sx /r/andykaufmanx /r/Asterixx /r/blackadderx /r/CoenBrothersx /r/Comics_Studiesx /r/DepthHubx /r/fathertedx /r/FawltyTowersx /r/Flintstonesx /r/FoolUsx /r/HannaBarberaCUx /r/Holmesx /r/InconvenienceStorex /r/jimjefferiesx /r/lettermanx /r/ligneclairex /r/Muppetsx /r/newsradiox /r/OldSchoolCelebsx /r/peeweex /r/pennandtellerx /r/philipkDickheadsx /r/postapocalypticx /r/silentmoviegifsx /r/TheAdventuresofTintinx /r/TheFlintstonesx /r/TNGx /r/tosx /r/venturebrosx
So that’s just /one/ of my 12+ stream groups (“MultiReddits”), and I love how one can parse them so specifically by community, you know?
I’d absolutely adore it such functionality could extend to Lemmy / the FV, one day.
You can choose a sorting algorithm. If you sort by “New” you get the new stuff but you can also sort by active, new comments, … to get variation.
At least in Jerboa, there is the account setting “Show Read Posts”.
I hope that’s helpful. I’m pretty sure it exists but I haven’t found a history function. I’d like to have a list of the last posts I’ve visited.
Thanks; I understand. My problem with “New” is that it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s activity yet. Sometimes I really would like to stay with “Active” and just hide stuff I have no interest in.
