A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I think the lack of hiding of previously viewed posts is one of my biggest gripes. I used to use Hide a lot in Reddit but all the alternatives are missing it.
A few other issues I have:
Hiding viewed/voted posted is a setting "show read", un-check it.
Yeah, I think that a helps a bit but if it requires actually opening the thread, then it's only a mild improvement. I'd really prefer mark as read or hide without opening the thread (there's a lot of threads I have no interest in reading but are hanging around the front page).
I appreciate the suggestion though. It does help a little.
I already saw one user who posted great content including citations -- adding user tags is what I miss.
Yes! Everything RES adds would be nice!
It really needs an app and page with a decent and clean UI. (most important)
It also needs a more streamline way of finding communities.
It would be nice as well to have better feeds as well.
I miss Apollo :(
And RiF. The ability to search for subs and create topic groups, etc.
We have been spoiled by both! I use the Melm iPhone app which is still in beta, and there are a TON of features I want… which I realize was just Apollo! It stinks that the development of new features we enjoyed with Apollo is kind of back at square 1 with new apps.
On jerboa, I wish there was a way to enlarge images posted in commdnts
I'm presently working on changing the url schema to more match reddit's,
Eg:
/post/{title}-{title_id}
/post/{title}-{title_id}/comments
Etc
I honestly just miss Apollo, since the layout and customization was amazing. I'd also look forward to seeing Slide being ported / forked for the Fediverse, since it's free and open source.
Being able to customize swipe actions and quickly sort through content, as well as hiding content that I've already seen (so it doesn't show up in my feed every time I refresh), were my favorite features by far.
For me it’s filtering out posts that I’ve already seen. Now I get the same posts over and over again.
An easy way to search for and subscribe to non local communities would be great. Right now the search only considers "connected" instances and only considers the community name and not the sidebar or actual content.
I miss the information density of redreader. Everything just feels so spread out.
Yeah, I hope QuantumBadger goes through with making RedReader compatible with Lemmy
I’d love to see flairs. They were a great way to categorise posts in advance so you knew what you might want to click on.
I'm on kbin, but one thing I miss from RES on desktop is the ability to click and drag to resize expanded images
Lemmy Enhancement Suite
A “Mark Read on Scroll” feature. I’ve noticed each time I’m entering a previously viewed community I have to scroll past the stuff I’ve already seen. This could be user error as I’m fairly new to this.
Absolutely agree. THis is a big one for me
Jerboa needs a lot of work. Especially on the UI front.
Did you try it recently? I think it looks great now.
I'm using it right now, yes. Unless your referring to the alpha, than not yet.
No just the default version. I think it's pretty great, just some things that I would change. But in general, the app really works.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy it exists. Lots of good in this app. There are some key features though that I miss. Specifically the RiF interface for subs search and joining and the sub-grouping feature.
Yup agree, some things can be improved and I'm very convinced it's being worked on. Many people are working together on the app right now to make it become stellar.
A way to jump to the next comment within a level. Infinity had a big button to jump to the next top level comment, and the reddit web page you can click on the colored bar that aligns the comment levels to jump to the next comment.
I am missing the ability to see other subreddit/communities conversations on the same link.
Missing: A working mobile app
Hide posts on scroll is a feature I would love to see.
Keyword filtering from RES.
Also, equivalent of setting up and saving multisubreddits, which helps for accessing communities that are the same but across different instances.
Ooh, I definitely agree with multireddits. I'd be super nice to look at certain communities on the same feed without subscribing to them by default
