More for jerboa, but RIF had an option to confirm you want to go back/refresh feed. My palm accidentally hits the back button often, and I have to start scrolling back from the top.

Ways to group communities to browse at once rather than just local, all, and subscribed. A multi-Lemmy if you will.
More of an app than a platform feature, but the ability to collapse all child comments.
Karma

I’m actually curious the reason why Lemmy does not have a karma equivalent.
I don’t miss it since I rarely checked my reddit karma but it does have pros and cons.
Karma might work on a per instance basis, but if implemented on a federation wide scale you'd have to trust every instance. It would be far too easy to artificially increase your karma with your own rogue instance just by editing the database.
easy subscribe links - like, click on it and then subscribe, not the current method (which totally functions but its cumbersome and unwieldly).
Default to showing subscribed communities, rather than local ones. De-emphasise the server in certain areas (eg community list) - I think the community is more important than the server it’s on and having it there so prominently causes confusion about it’s importance.
I can see why it has the server focus but I’d argue most people want to join a general server with a wide reach rather than something isolated.
Though this is me trying to use Lemmy as “distributed Reddit” so maybe I just don’t get it.
When i scroll on the website, the website header does not follow. Meaning if I want to go somewhere or refresh the feed, i have to scroll way up to do so. Its a bit frustrating.
The ability to merge/join communities across instances. Right now, there's lots of duplicated communities - which isn't a big problem, but I feel that it'll hinder adoption as it fragments the audience for a given topic.
Edit: also worth saying that it seems like that the if the instance hosting a community goes away, so does the community.
Custom CSS themes, for the main interface, but also maybe on a per-community basis? I liked most of what I'd see on Reddit.
Hopefully a multi-community (multi Reddit type) feature
Better ways to explore the communities available. Also maybe improving the Android app ecosystem.
