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.

Do you plan to introduce some kind of post tags into Lemmy, preferably something that will behave like Hashtags on Mastodon and other activitypub platforms? I know that Lemmy has been embedding community name as a hashtag for a while now, though having tags that can be populated by users would help discovery greatly.
Dunno if I’m too late, but here goes. My question is about federation between instances.
On PeerTube an instance follows another instance and then federates every channel and videos available.
On Lemmy, the user can follow a specific community and then that community will federate with the users instance.
How about being able to, either as the instance itself or a user, to follow an entire instance and have it federate everything?
An example. I have a user on Lemmy.wtf, but I am also very interested in the communities at Feddit.dk. I never know when new communities have been created on Feddit.dk, unless I go directly to Feddit.dk and look. If I could subscribe my instance to Feddit.dk, then all future communities would be visible to me automatically.
If something like that isn’t possible, then what about being able to browse other instance’s communities from my own instance?
We have an issue discussing non-local community discovery here.
My vote there is to extend our lemmy-stats-crawler to crawl communities also, host that file somewhere, and build in a scheduled job to refetch and populate missing communities periodically. Its centralized, but if that file is unavailable, it wouldn't break anything.
Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
I am new to Lemmy, so haven’t really looked into if the following is possible but can I create groups of communities with a similar topic across multiple instances?
When will anyone be able to click the following /c/books And see an agglomeration of all "books" communities on all federated server? I don't mean multireddits Thanks!!
You mean like a list of all communities named "books" or "books.."? And then you could choose to visit individual communities by clicking on them?
Do you have any plans to make it easier to manage the images stored in pictrs? One issue I have is that I used to proxy images, I no longer do that, but now I have like 300GB on backblaze doing nothing. In this post I outlined more precisely what I mean.
This is something which should be handled by external tools, for example lemmy-thumbnail-cleaner.
