I'm not currently developing a Lemmy app, and I have no plans to, so this is not a market research post for myself. If anything, I'd like it to be a resource for existing developers to see which features the community most wants!

So, putting aside regular features (e.g. things that the Hard-R app already does), I'm specifically wondering about which less common features you all want?

Here's of one of mine:
I'd like to be able to limit my usage of an instance to a specific account. For example: I never want to post to LemmyNSFW from my main account. That's what my alt is for. So I want to be automatically switches to my preferred account per-instance when I interact with it (or at least give me the choice to switch on-the-fly when composing a post or comment).

I recently found Liftoff on android from the posts on Lemmy, and I like some of the features (in addition to the common text features) :

  • the ability to have multiple accounts views at the same time.
  • being able to add instances without accounts just to get the all/local content from them.
  • nice design.

However I find it is also lacking :

  • there are inconsistencies between how comments and posts are managed in the notification/account view (to open a comment I need to click on the "link" 🔗 button, but to open a post I can just click on it)
  • it doesn't yet have verified links like Jerboa, so when something puts and https instead of ! Link to a community/post, it always opens in a browser.
  • I would also like to be able to have a setting where it is a "always ask what account to use" for subscriptions. If I found an interesting community on my alt account, I would want to subscribe to it with my main.
