What is missing from lemmy for it to become "successful"? (lemmy.ml)

So, lemmy is a project I have been following since the beggining. With federation here, it seems like everything is aligned for it to become the reddit killer, pardon my expression.

What do you think is missing from lemmy for it to have a massive engaging community?

Hey, I'm new to Lemmy and I can tell you about the missing part - clients.

I accidentally found Lemmy client in F-droid (lemmur) it's pretty good, but lacks a lot of QoL features.

I think, having multiple clients for all platforms will help with userbase and content.

Add Lemmy clients to Google Play, Apple App Store, Amazon App Store, Huawei App Store, etc.

More clients -> more people find out Lemmy -> more users will join Lemmy -> more content will be posted by these users.

Of course it's my own opinion, not pretending to be the only way

I just joined because i saw the client on fdroid and remembered the project.

That client is so good. My phone is old and lowend, lemmur probably lack functionalities and I struggled to find the dark mod BUT the experience is really smooth and fast better than any reddit client I tried (except redreader but it's another approach)

I'm very happy to hear that!

but lacks a lot of QoL features.

lack functionalities

In case of any feature requests/bug reports I invite y'all to post about them in [email protected], we translate them into trackable tasks for development so we will eventually get to those :)

You both are doing a great job BTW, Lemmur keeps getting better and better 👍

do you think you could elaborate on that? :) do you have any specific features in mind?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 years ago

Already posted one of them to the lemmur community and found other things already posted, too (example: goto comment from notification)
