What do you want to have in a Lemmy instance? (ponder.cat)

I started up my own instance and now I have realized that there's no reason anyone would join mine instead of any other instance.

That's no good. What neat stuff would the Fediverse like to see in a Lemmy instance?

Follow RSS feeds in your Lemmy feed? I have that already, in a way, but it would be nice to be able to do it for any feed automatically without it being clunky.
Follow Mastodon users? Or tags?
Embedded video? That seems costly.
Hackability? The ability to run your own customized front end? Or good scripting features in the browser console?
A better looking UI? This one is functional but it's not pretty.
Better moderation? I have heard the Lemmy tools aren't that good.
Something else?

Better mod tools. From a moderator (not admin) PoV:

modmail
ability to tag users and annotate things about them, preferably in a way that is visible for the rest of the mod team
~~a list of the most recent comments+posts in the community~~ EDIT - already there, as pointed out by ericjmorey. I feel dumb for not noticing it before.
some sort of automatic warning, based on keywords

Specifically for the desktop browser interface (IDK how much it applies to other interfaces), it would be great if the [M] for moderator was a tiny bit less evident when you're just posting/commenting as a user, but there was a stronger highlight when speaking officially. Plenty times I feel the need to start the comment with [speaking as a mod], as that shield icon is easy to miss.

For admins I can't speak personally, but the list Beehaw admins provided seems IMO sensible.

Are the the moderator views not what you're asking for here?

The mod view only shows you the posts, not the comments. To see the newer comments you still need to open each post individually.

I didn't! Now I feel like a muppet. Thank you for pointing it out.

(Holy fuck I was in desperate need for something already there.)
