I'm still new to the Fediverse. What are your favorite unique things that your instance does? What do you wish was more widely adopted across instances/federated platforms? (lemmy.zip)

Some thing that I think should be more widely adopted (de facto mostly a list of features that Lemmy lacks relative to Piefed):

  • Instance URL redirection; not only a Piefed thing, also done by Voyager
  • Merged comments for the same post URL
  • Post flair and to a lesser extent tags, Post flair is really helpful for if you manage a community

I was really surprised when I saw that flairs weren't widely adopted yet. They're super useful for community filtering.

Closest in other engines afaik are tags, but they are only an type of filter, not also an one.
