What would you guys' love to see added to Lemmy? Personally, I kinda miss the Reddit trophies, how am I going to feel superior to all of you who signed up 4 days ago if I can't flex ending up in the x year club 2 days earlier???

You make an interesting point. I was reading Lemmy documentation and some GitHub discussion regarding gamification. I did like the little fun things/quirks of Rdt, but can also understand the reasoning for why/why not.

I am honestly just impressed that members of the DT have put effort in to keep going. So just seeing everyone’s posts for the time being is enough for me. Funny how when it closed the first time, I had things that I was like, I’ll do my little brain dump/share to DT, and then realised I couldn’t and it was admittedly silly and sad at the same time.

Automod tools and the ability to pin comments within posts is high on my list at the moment. But mostly better sort tools and the ability to create custom feeds. Although working with a couple of different accounts is a bit like having custom feeds.

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting we don't have automod

The midnight crew have been doing a great job starting the new daily post each day. The person who does it gets naming rights to the day.

I kinda like that. If we do eventually migrate to a bot, I'd love it if we could get the community to propose ideas for names and the bot to randomly pick one

Instead of cake day you get pikelet day, that's what happens. Whether or not this is 'superior' depends on context.

For starters, a Terms of Service might be a good idea.

I think the issue with that is that the rules and ToS are formed instance by instance. So each instance will need to form its own rules
