1. Stability (no random 502s, go away with refresh - sounds like backend trouble?)
2. Performance/efficiency
3. Viewing all communities in an instance
4. Open in app (YouTube, Play Store, etc)

Came from RIF and currently using Liftoff, it’s my favorite client so far!

A button at the bottom right of the screen to skip to the next top-level comment.

1. Ability to log in to accounts on multiple instances This one is common, but I’m specifying it for #2 & #3.
2. Optional sync community subscriptions between accounts I’m too locked-in to an instance after subscribing to many communities. Make it easy for me to migrate by keeping my subscriptions in sync between accounts.
3. Optional publish alt account links to Bio To make migration easier, if I’m syncing subscriptions between my @Gamera8ID@lemm.ee account and my @Gamera8ID@lemmy.world accounts, then modify my @Gamera8ID@lemm.ee Bio to say “aka @Gamera8ID@lemmy.world” and vice-versa.
4. Shared inbox for all accounts If I get a fourth then this would be it.

Might be controversial, but I personally want the option to turn off swipe gestures for votes. I keep giving people downvotes on accident when I’m trying to go back to the previous screen. Every iOS app I’ve tried has this feature and it’s inconvenient imo.

I’m using my tablet to browse Lemmy and haven’t found an app yet that has all the posts on the left side and the content of a single post on the right.

The screenshot shows an example.

Also, mark a post as read when you have opened the media and ability to hide read posts.

What’s a Monet icon and what’s good about it?

-Community aggregation (multi-communities) -Easy back and forth nav between the post scroll and threads -occasional random substitution of a sports game score/summary instead of the thread I clicked to read.

Ok, not that last one, but I couldn’t think of a good third one off the top of my head.

Pressing and holding to see a larger view of media. aka Peeking.

Clear posts that I’ve already read, but be able to see them again with refresh. Not completely gone like with the settings option. This is what I miss the most of my old Reddit client.

Sorting, if I sort by new it’s really really similar to hot right now, just one article or two different. In fact I get hot articles that are 8 mins old, something isn’t right.

Link/image handleing is hit and miss right now, sometimes they don’t expand when I “click” on them.

1. Uses RIF for inspiration.

• Great battery life + interplay with android ecosystem
• Information density
• Customizability without being overwhelming

2. Works well with larger Lemmy, Threadiverse, & Fediverse communities

• Upstream major improvements up to base Lemmy + ActivityPub platforms. Ideally there’d be some cooperation between open source apps to reuse existing tools and extract shared functionality to new libraries for further reuse, especially in terms of Lemmy API consumption, security, android/ios/etc platform quirks, emojis, etc.
• Multiple accounts / platform access
• Allow workflows to share between platforms. Kbin combining micro+forums is neat, but I think separating microblogging and link aggregation/forums makes more sense. It’d be neat to share things that I like find as microblogging posts. Vice versa sometimes I think masto posts would be great discussion items for communities and woudl like to create a post from there.

3. Open source

• I know RIF wasn’t, but ideally there’d at least be an open core (which fits in with my first point under #2)
• Cooperates with other open platforms, preferably using web + other free standards where appropriate to make contributions easier.
• If fully open, eventually backed/incorporated by larger FOSS players like Mozilla Foundation, Apache, or FSF.

Swipe navigation, I’m coming from relay for Reddit, and using a left swipe to go back was really handy.

I keep trying it in jerboa and thunder … So a lot of unintentional upvotes in thunder and nothing happens in jerboa.

Next is embedded imgur/redgifs opening, which I was also accustomed to.

User online status

Community folders (which I don’t think Reddit had!) where you can group together your communities and order posts from those groups only and find communities quickly (like memes: c/memes - c/lemmyshitpost , creative: c/arttrade - c/weirdwheels - c/bonvoyage , mental: c/autism, c/adhd, c/neurodivergence etc)
