2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

Picture Albums that you can scroll through on an app.
Some sort of automatic down-sampling feature before posting, for images, video and maybe audio.
DeltaChat has this built in to minimise file-sizes before posting.
Something like this would reduce plenty of bandwith/processor use/carbon etc. Increase speed of loading pages.
With an option to click to see the original media too.
I'm all for this.

option to get notifications when a post or a comment subtree gets a new comment. Especially (but not only) useful for your own posts, and for when you have commented on a topic whereyou are interested in not only the direct responses, but in the overall discussion.
to handle deleted content better: when a post or a comment is deleted, keep them openable, to still have the context readable
When you ask OP a question, then someone says "I'd like to know, too!" and OP only replies to the comment under yours.

Reddit Markdown lets one use italics inside links, like so:
I like [the author of *A Game of Thrones*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_R._R._Martin).
However, Lemmy does not presently support this syntax, renders it as:
I like the author of A Game of Thrones.
I frequently want to have partially-styled links like this, particularly italics.
EDIT: Okay, I just discovered that apparently this has been implemented since the last time I tried it. Thanks, devs!
I love the Old Lemmy webiste, I wish there was a way to incorporate a RES type of extension for Lemmy
I mean, it's doable now, but I think that the limiting factor is just the userbase. More developers using the platform, more people interested in writing code for browser extensions.
There is a lemmy/kbin assistant extension for Firefox, which is far, far more basic than RES, but provides one critical feature that I regularly use -- being able to view a post on one's home instance. So people have done work on these.
Also, if by "Old Lemmy", you mean mlmym, that's not merely the website. It's an alternate Web UI that instances can run alongside the regular one. My home instance does so at https://old.lemmy.today/
EDIT: Your home instance does as well, at https://old.lemmy.world/
In frontends, I'd like to have the option to not show displaynames, or at least show real usernames next to displaynames.
If you want to reference a user using @username@instance syntax, you need to know their username, and while the displaynames can be cute, I've just never seen a really compelling argument for them. I also haven't seen anyone abusing them yet, but they seem likely to be trouble from a "trying to impersonate someone else" standpoint.

(I think that's the official list.)
Allow me to upvote posts and comments within search.
Super-compact mode for posts.
Allow me to upvote posts and comments within search.
Tesseract and Photon both allow that :)
Maybe others, too, but I'm most familiar with those two since I've been involved in their development (and they're my daily drivers).
Ability to search Saved Posts, and RSS for them too like Reddit has.
I save a lot of handy things on Lemmy but it’s really difficult to find them again later. It also seems to sort by original post creation date instead of when I saved them so this makes it even more difficult to find later.
Spoiler posts
What would that involve? I mean, you can already have spoiler sections in post body text.
can you mark the image as spoiler?
Not the primary image, though I'd bet that you can stick an image inline in the body in spoiler text. You couldn't get a thumbnail then, but I think that might be undesirable anyway if you're wanting to hide the image by default.
EDIT:
test
Looks like it.

Linking one of the AO3 tag tutorials because tagging? is extremely powerful.

Detect AI prompts attached to images and not strip them from images on upload the way other EXIF data is.
Stripping EXIF location data to help keep people from being doxxed is one thing, but AI image generators try to make images with metadata to indicate that the images are AI generated, which helps avoid using them for training and lets people inspect how images are created. As of now, that gets stripped on upload. It's particularly obnoxious over in [email protected].
EDIT: Even nicer would be the option to leave EXIF location data attached, and merely warn a user at upload time about location data and provide the option to strip it, as I can certainly imagine communities where people would really like to be able to include precise location data with their images.
Make it easier to join.
UI improvements.
Such as?
UI is not good.
I think it should be like Photon.
- frontpage by default is too old (sometimes 2+ days)
- better search
- maybe it's just me but my tiny brain refuses to learn clicking on a title brings me to the comments and not the article. an option would be nice
- filters based on tags
- can mods post comments next to a title? this can be very helpful (e.g. "misleading?")
