Firstly, there is the unstoppable flood of new posts that are added while browsing “All”. Although this doesn’t happen when using the Jerbea app, it sometimes renders “All” unusable in the browser.

This will be resolved once websockets are removed with the next update:

Secondly, the issue of the same posts being displayed for days under “Hot”. There is already a pull request for this, so it has been fixed and just needs to be implemented:

Now, the only remaining points for me are:

  1. Links to external instances should automatically be transformed when opened so that one can participate with the account of their own instance. For example, lemmy.world/c/memes should automatically become feddit.de/c/memes@lemmy.world.

  2. Communities from different instances should be able to merge, allowing users to see the content of all communities across different instances.

    Holy crap this is huge news. There are quite a few subs I browse that seem to have fragmented into multiple different instances. Would be great to see those all merge together into one feed.

      A feed aggregator or multireddit style feature would be excellent. So I could create a “technology” feed and see the beehaw technology community, the lemmy.world technology community, the kbin technology community, etc.

      Actually merging those communities across different instances, as some have asked for, would be a horrible idea and bypassing the entire point of federation.

      Just want to clarify.
