I don’t run my own instance, at least not publicly, but I’m very curious in the answers to some of those questions and I don’t want to skew your results by voting.
As I’m already working on on search engine, that’s already public for Lemmy but I hope to add Mastodon in the future. So far many Mastodon users seem to be very anti-search, so I’m curious of your results.
Thank for sharing the results.
I can say one of the most requested features I keep getting requests for is a global search as well. I’m just blocked by a bug in Lemmy at the moment.
A tool to see better recommendations on who to follow could be interesting as well. I’ve recently added a new feature that allows for users to search communities (on Lemmy and Kbin) about what posts are actually talking about. I wonder if something similar could be built for users…
But again thanks for sharing.
