What are the features you MOST miss from Reddit? (Bonus pts for tech dudes-- any idea if they're on the dev- hoz?) (lemm.ee)

For me-- Lemmy is getting dangerously close to pulling me away from Reddit, and I love it, but still, there's a ways to go in terms of 'critical features,' yeah?

So then, here's two of mine below. What are yours?

I'd still very much like to HIDE threads I'm not interested in. Otherwise, no matter what stream I choose (Subscribed | Local | All), I keep seeing the same topics, and it can be downright difficult paging through streams to see new stuff from more communities. That's not good, frankly.
I very much want the ability to create *more* custom streams. On Reddit, those streams are called "MultiReddits," and let me tell you, they rock! For instance, my one "Series" multi-reddit consists of these:

/r/1950sx /r/1960sx /r/andykaufmanx /r/Asterixx /r/blackadderx /r/CoenBrothersx /r/Comics_Studiesx /r/DepthHubx /r/fathertedx /r/FawltyTowersx /r/Flintstonesx /r/FoolUsx /r/HannaBarberaCUx /r/Holmesx /r/InconvenienceStorex /r/jimjefferiesx /r/lettermanx /r/ligneclairex /r/Muppetsx /r/newsradiox /r/OldSchoolCelebsx /r/peeweex /r/pennandtellerx /r/philipkDickheadsx /r/postapocalypticx /r/silentmoviegifsx /r/TheAdventuresofTintinx /r/TheFlintstonesx /r/TNGx /r/tosx /r/venturebrosx

So that's just /one/ of my 12+ stream groups ("MultiReddits"), and I love how one can parse them so specifically by community, you know?

I'd absolutely adore it such functionality could extend to Lemmy / the FV, one day.

I believe multi communities have been suggested before. Not sure if there’s an issue for it on GitHub yet.

There is at least one issue for that already.

I would like to see the ability to hide posts without having to "read" them first. I usually know right in the list if I have any interest in the topic and will open it if I do, but I'd like to be able to hide it if I don't. Otherwise what happens is my list gets stale with posts that I'm not interested in unless I go through and "read" each one. If this feature already exists, I haven't found it.

Yeah I don’t think that feature is there. Wefwef has the ability to swipe to hide posts, not sure about other apps or lemmy-ui

Wefwef has the ability to swipe to hide posts

Really? Is that a setting I need to turn on? I come from Sync for Reddit where that's exactly how I hid posts there. That was the first thing I tried on wefwef, and It opened up a reply dialog, the other seems to be a vote.

...

Nevermind. Turns out there are 2 actions on both left and right swipe. If you swipe left partially that's a reply, fully and that's hide. Swipe right partially for upvote, and fully for downvote.
