Custom feeds / multireddits / grouped communities
Grouped communities / multi"reddits" absolutely
This is easily number one.
Most other things I want are really bug fixes.
And then some moderating to improvements.

A feature to allow communities on different instances to agree to merge with each other — a sort of second-order federation allowing large communities to be built out of smaller ones.
Community moderators can propose to federate two communities; if both sides agree, then posts & comments are shared between them. This lasts until either side chooses to turn it off (unmerge) or their instances no longer federate.
This lets multiple forums on the same topic agree to join forces (and moderation teams — sharing the load) while retaining the ability to separate later if it doesn’t work out.
This is not the same as a “multireddit” UI, since that’s just a client-side display of posts that actually reside in different forums. This is having the server side consistently treat the two communities as one, as much as possible.
If you click on a discussion occurring on a foreign instance, the link automatically converts to a local instance version so you can immediately start participating in the discussion. No more “you are not logged in” messages, basically.
oauth2 authentication (make lemmy an oidc provider). would love test third party apps but i’m hesitant to type my username/password in some random login screen.

I cannot currently see my “Lemmy Karma” (or whatever equivalent to reddit karma there could be) - is that something that is in the works? Or simply something that I need to activate?
Lemmy has no karma and frankly I don’t want that kind of gamification. On Reddit, people were posting one-liners just to get karma. Intelligent discussion was not possible.
Ah, I see - so it is by design?
I can understand the concept, just wish it could be turned on for a personal user, if possible.
I’ve seen arguments on both sides that…make sense. Personally I don’t care if there is or isn’t a karma counter, but I’ve seen at least 2 dozen discussions about it and it got me thinking… What if it was just up to users to toggle it per user? Individual users can get the satisfaction of seeing their score climb as they use their account more and more, but you can’t see other users karma (even if they have it enabled too), and by default it’s turned off so the rest of Lemmy can’t see your score or anyone else’s. I think this would prevent shit posting cause there’s no score to show off, it’s just for you and you alone.
