What do you want to have in a Lemmy instance? (ponder.cat)

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?

You have not seen some photon instances lol. lemdro.id's admins have been really busy, so I don't blame them for anything. they've also been early supporters from the start of photon.

Here's a list of ancient photon instances i've seen:

reddthat

lemy.lol (so old that it literally crashes on load)

programming.dev

lemmings.world

I really dislike when people host photon on their own stuff, and I prefer people use phtn.app. There's greater chance for error and old versions can give people a negative view of the client.

Programming.dev one is currently stuck on the last version we can upgrade to (and looks like lemmings and reddthat as well) since any upgrades just makes photon a white screen due to the tooling upgrade

Other instances have updated just fine, the most common issue being nginx header buffers being too low.
