More users in smaller niche communities. Lemmy has less users in general, so smaller niche communities are practically non-existent here.
I don’t can enough to post enough in there canning, but I’m hoping it’s just well, we’re all waiting for fall and the harvests!

Any amount of positivity and fun. Lemmy users just feel so miserable and argumentative.
I mean sign of the times but damn.
Honestly yeah. I stuck with Lemmy for 3 years before caving and going back to Reddit because I was sick and tired of every single conversation no matter how unrelated circling back to Trumpa-lumpa.
Not to say Reddit isn’t its own flavor of horrible. It’s banking hard on social media addiction with all those post analytics and reminders to repost and boost engagement. Not to mention the fake AI users. Yuck.
I still sometimes steer people here because I still believe in a decentralized non corporate online space, it just needs to get past the self-selecting echo chamber phase. Once /c/mildlyinteresting isn’t 90% doomer news articles I’ll consider things a success.
What Reddit does have is niches. There’s a sub for dogs, then there’s a sub for labradors, and then there’s a sub each for yellow, black, and chocolate labs. All of them are lively and active and most importantly on-topic.
Reddit is basically facebook at this point.
Edit: this isn’t even really true. I just wanted to say something bad about reddit because they banned me for life for saying that Alex Karp should be yeeted into space and that Donald Trump rapes kids.
That’s interesting. I feel like my experience has been the opposite. I’ll occasionally post things here, completely expecting some negative response (not looking for it, but I know how people are). For example, I posted a rant about an issue I was having after switching to Linux. Instead of negativity, I typically get responses more like “that’s a valid criticism. Have you considered $x, though?”, and the conversation continues quite pleasantly.
I feel like reddit was far quicker to jump to “no. You’re wrong, and here’s why…”.
Edit: correcting hypothetical redditor’s spelling.
The only time I’ve been dunked on is by tankies when said that RT is pure propaganda.
Otherwise I like vibes here…sometimes the super hard line against Libs and Obama throw me off but an anarchy-socialist so it doesn’t bother me personally. Just a bit confusing when looking at the alternatives at the time.
Better SEO and forum answers. I hate having to search “my question + reddit” just to get an answer from a real person. Especially as reddit becomes botted to all hell
Shareholder value! JK Reddit doesn’t have that either. Zing!
No instance owners that can ban you for saying something they don’t agree with.
A way to filter old posts by date. So, old posts in the past 24 hours, or one week, etc.
Larger active sports communities. There’s a subreddit for every sport you want to follow, and even for each team. So you can get detailed news specifically for your team, go to game threads for real time discussion for any live game and even go lurk your rival team’s subreddit to enjoy all the complaining after your team beats them. All of that only works with a large active user base and Lemmy just isn’t there yet.
Niche communities.
wikis attached to the community.
More content. Everyone says that but sadly don’t always post themselves to create content. I do what I can but I’d love to see more.
UI of Leemy needs improvement. We should be able to view the video/image without going to the details. A native Mobile application would be good. But this is understandable, because Lemmy is a non-profit decentralized project. Thanks to @dessalines@lemmy.ml and @nutomic@lemmy.ml
I use jerboa which is a native mobile app for Lemmy right? I think there are more too.
