Hi, I think that Lemmy is great thank you for your hard work
I actually think that given the ads and other distorsions, and thanks to federation, Lemmy is overall actually better than reddit!
Some features I miss are:
Keep up the good work guys!
I like Lemmy a lot, but when you share a URL it's just an ID number. Compare that to Reddit, where you can get a lot more information on what you're about to look at just from the URL alone.

Are there any plans to make Lemmy URLs more meaningful?
Another issue is that post links are instance-specific, since the post ID isn't the same across instances.
ex: https://lemmy.ml/post/27659153 is https://lemmy.ca/post/41237641 on Lemmy.ca
There are external tools like https://lemmyverse.link/ and some browser addons to alleviate those issues, but it'd be nice if this could be addressed at the source if doable.
And I dream of a lemmy:\\ protocol handler one day.
How would you improve it?
a way to filter out posts that have no engagement or comments from others would be helpful since the larger instances flood my feed w hundreds/thousands of news links that flood out the discourse on lemmy.
