I’m curious as to you guys opinions. It could be Mastodon itself or a Mastodon client. What features would you like to see that are not currently available?

    Complete separation of text from hashtags, so that hashtags are not counted in the word limit. Allow posts with longer word limit with an automatic “read more” tag or automatic splitting of longer text into a thread. Also quote posts.

    100% better migration options. I want to take my posts with me, I want people going to my old profile to redirect to my new profile. I feel like I’ve been stuck on my Mastodon instance, which is very small and is not tended to by the admins a lot, because of the lacking migration functionality.

      Mastodon already has that. You can export and import posts[1] in the settings, and under Account Settings, you can move to a different account so people are redirected to your new profile.

      My screenshot doesn’t show import as an option because I migrated away from this Mastodon account to Firefish.


      1. @vidarh@lemmy.world clarified below that you can only import lists, bookmarks, blocks, and mutes. Not posts. ↩︎

    The most important thing is a separate icon for sending personal messages (using the drop-down menu to select “Only for those mentioned” is not convenient and you can simply forget to do this).

    I would like a more user friendly design. For example, most applications for Lemmy have a very user-friendly design.

    And probably the most anticipated thing by users is the introduction of e2ee. I have read many requests from users on this topic.
