What are your most wanted features? (lemmy.world)

It makes it easier to prioritize what I work on if I know someone's wanting a feature. What sort of stuff do you wish Alexandrite had? Especially talking about missing features from the main UI.

If you can, please provide some explanation for why you would like that feature and what problem it would solve for you (unless of course it's a feature that Lemmy has already but Alexandrite doesn't support yet). Knowing what problem you want solved helps me work with you to brainstorm ideas for the best solution (see the XY problem).

Is there any plan to add the markdown image functionality of the base U.I, either the small picture icon to prompt an upload or the ability to paste an image into the post/comment box to have it upload and inster with the proper markdown?

Also any thoughts on adding the archive prompt for a url post?

Image uploading is something I really want to add because it's the biggest missing feature and I think it could be done better than the official UI does it. Unfortunately I can't add it quite yet because I'm not able to upload images unless I proxy them through Alexandrite's servers (which is what Voyager does). This is the issue on Lemmy's Github that I'm waiting on.

I was thinking of adding the archive links around the time I add the image uploading.

Thanks! It's been getting a lot of attention lately which is exciting and scary. This is by far the most attention any of my side projects have gotten, and it's pretty cool to see so many people enjoying something I made!
