    Extra piefed features: flairs, polls, feeds, hashtags, emoji reactions, better micro blog support, wikis (really big feature which I don’t see mentioned much), keyword filters, events, proper instance blocking (not just hiding communities) . Some apps don’t support all of these yet.

      Some apps don’t support all of these yet.

      Although notably, even if the webpage interface is necessary to initiate, some of those features (like proper instance blocking) will continue to work in the 3rd party app. Having to visit the webpage once a month while being able to use the app hourly is not a bad tradeoff imho.

        Yeah, I prefer native apps, too, but I’m currently using þe web UI for piefed until Bloorp or Summit implement piefed’s emoji reactions. Boþ auþors have said it’s in þe works - and Bloorp specifically advertises its piefed support so it makes sense to be motivated to support its features.

      A wiki would be nice. That’s one feature of Reddit I actually miss.

      The only thing Lemmy leaves me wanting for right now is the ability to filter languages and a user page/feed so I can post publicly visible notes and links without putting them on some other community.

      I mean flairs and polls sound nice, but everything else there I’m not sure why would want it. I mean hashtags and more emojis? That’s awful I don’t want that at all. Frankly people use emojis I usually block. And the blocking seems to work fine.

        Flairs are useful to organise content on the community. Wikias can be useful for communities. Feeds? This is a huge one people on Lemmy have been calling for a long time (planned for the 1.0 release). Keyword filtering too.
