@lemmy.mlIt would be nice, I think, if there were more ways for the members of a community and instances to interact democratically with the rules and moderation.
I.E. Mod elections, being able to put users bans up for vote, vote on sidebar changes, vote on feature selections, vote on when or if to stop accepting new users, etc, etc.
Basically anything a mod or site admin does being up for democratic vote, even if it doesn't generally need to be extended to all the users (because of possible brigrading or fake users).

Hello all! I am posting from my own self hosted instance, running 0.18.0, but this issue existed in 0.17.4 as well. When sorting posts from my subscribed communities by Hot, I will get a handful of newer posts, followed by an entire page or two of old posts going as far back as 4 years (not with new comments), before finally seeing fresh posts again. Thus far I have been scrolling past all the ancient posts every time I open lemmy (both through Firefox and jerboa) and going straight to the fresh content, but since the issue wasn’t resolved with the new release I’m wondering if anyone knows what is causing this behavior and if there is a fix. Thank you!
In June, the word form the project has generally been "go create empty new instances to solve scaling", and now there are a lot of instances that may be giving up or shutting down in the coming months.
A procedure and code for moving a community to a new home is a wish.
In Reddit, users can create lists of subs, called "multireddits". And you can browse the content of all those subs in a multireddit as if it was a single community. You can also share your multireddits with other people.
Reddit itself implemented the idea and never touched it again, but it be amazing in the federation. For example, someone who's interested in cooking could create the following multireddit multicomm:
That increases discoverability of the communities across the Lemmyverse (as people share their multicomms), and also makes it easier to handle redundant communities across instances. Because of that, I feel like the concept would be right at home in Lemmy.

Example account https://kbin.social/u/admin This not being an official admin account. This feature would be optional and off by default. It would have a set of words that are pre-populated when turned on that the admin can add to or remove from. Words would not allow to be used in any combination of upper or lowercase letters to register a username or magazine. Some words suggested by sakaiyo in the kbin Matrix channel: > owner, admin, administrator, creator, founder, kbinadmin Possibly incorporate with this issue https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/315 so that a site admin or site mod would be easy to identify in profile or in posts.
The first on the list is indeed "active", but the next 3 are all pretty stale.

This is a preventive measure against massive amounts of accounts being created for botting purposes. Most instances banned appear to be 1 user instances so we don’t think this will have a great effect on anyone’s usage of Beehaw. If you are an admin of one of those instances, feel free to contact us at support@beehaw.org [support@beehaw.org]
I'm not suggesting this straight to the devs because come on, they got too much on their hands already.
Skin switcher
A drop-down menu allowing you to choose which style you want to use with Lemmy, like a built-in Stylus.
Reverse Slashdot voting system
You have one upvote ("like"), but plenty downvotes ("disagree", "rude", "unfunny", "off-topic", "incorrect", "insightless"). So to downvote you'd click first on the downvote button, then again on your chosen reaction.
I'm suggesting this asymmetry because good content has often multiple qualities, so it's sometimes hard to choose on which one to vote. Plus positive feedback should be as streamlined as possible, as it makes people feel good.
On the other hand, bad content has often an obvious flaw, and it's more important for the commenter/poster to know why people dislike their content than why they like it. It would demand a bit more effort to downvote (two clicks instead of one), slightly discouraging people from mindlessly downvoting.
Custom sorting system
It would require a multi-dimensional voting system, as above. Let users sort their feeds by assigning a weight to each thing that could be used to sort it - recency (as in "new"), upvotes, each type of downvote, etc. So for example if you don't care about coarse language you'd weight the "rude" downvotes as zero.
Bonus points if comm mods can set up a custom sorting system as the comm default. I could picture for example a discussion-based community ignoring "unfunny" downvotes for the sake of sorting, while a memes community would ignore if the content is off-topic.
