My own thoughts:
I think default communities for each instance can really help to keep the culture of each instance unique. It can really help as we go forward and more people join Lemmy, for example the current atmosphere is centered around privacy, anti-capitalism, FOSS and other things and I think the longer it stays that way, the better.
Another reddit feature that I think will help Lemmy should be user flairs, both global and sub-specific. For example I think flairs like 'Lemmy Developer', as a global one and 'former moderator' as a community specific one would be good.
Other reddit features that I'd like to see in Lemmy are multi-reddits, and wikis.
Something I'm not sure about is awards. On one hand they can help the admins with cost of server maintanace, and on the other hand they seem a bit extra and unnecessary.
Something I don't want to see is a karma-based economy. I think we cam have better ways of recognising those who have contributed to community, for example we can give someone who has helped people on some community like linuxquestions or other support communities a custom flair.
Another thing I don't want to see ever is content that is just designed to attract attention and get people hooked, or content for the sake of upvotes or things like that.
