Custom CSS themes, for the main interface, but also maybe on a per-community basis? I liked most of what I’d see on Reddit.

The mental cartwheels required to fathom why that was even made physically possible are almost beyond me.
easy subscribe links - like, click on it and then subscribe, not the current method (which totally functions but its cumbersome and unwieldly).
a way to make the screen take the full space without whitespace, like old.reddit, in the settings
User flairs!
There is an open issue already for some time. Hopefully with the new user influx this gets more attention. Certain communities, like sports, feel incomplete without flairs.
When people link other instances in posts or comments, it should automatically be translated to view it on your own instance instead of having to take it and search for it.
I like this one. Posted instance mentions were doing my head in as a newbie.
Highlight new comments (if there’s already a way to do this please let me know as I’m brand new here)
an ability to re-order search results, eg in the communities list page having it so that we can click on a column and have the results sort according to that column, or alphabetically or most recent.
and some way of filtering the results would be good as well
More of an app than a platform feature, but the ability to collapse all child comments.
On Jerboa at least you can do this by tapping on the comment
More for jerboa, but RIF had an option to confirm you want to go back/refresh feed. My palm accidentally hits the back button often, and I have to start scrolling back from the top.
Karma

I’m actually curious the reason why Lemmy does not have a karma equivalent.
I don’t miss it since I rarely checked my reddit karma but it does have pros and cons.
User and post flares!
There needs to be a way to link to a post in an instance agnostic way.
For example, this post is in [email protected] and the id is 1255605, but that id number won’t work on any other instance.
If someone shares a link with me like https://lemmy.ml/post/1255605 that will take me to lemmy.ml, where I’m not logged in. If I have an account on lemmy.world then the only way for me to comment on this post is to navigate to lemmy.world/c/[email protected] manually and then literally look at the feed to find this post. It’s a pain in the butt for new / current threads but will be a huge pain for older threads.
The ability to merge/join communities across instances. Right now, there’s lots of duplicated communities - which isn’t a big problem, but I feel that it’ll hinder adoption as it fragments the audience for a given topic.
Edit: also worth saying that it seems like that the if the instance hosting a community goes away, so does the community.
Ways to group communities to browse at once rather than just local, all, and subscribed. A multi-Lemmy if you will.
