Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

Thirsty comments. Puns. Meta humor. Dog language like β€œfren.” People who use the word β€œstonk.”

Spez's involvement in anything anywhere. Seems to turn everything he touches into a pile of turds.

Some people just like lurking.

Flair would be nice, but I think Lemmy should do it its own way with hashtags. It would be cool to search for hashtags within specific communities, subscribed communities, entire instances, and all instances.

making brigading more unacceptable here than it seems to be on reddit would be nice

That's already built-in by being able to block instances. For example, you can't see my comment right now because your instance blocked mine, presumably because you didn't want to be brigaded by communists!

Reddit had a lot of subreddits where the users seemed to hate each other and I'm hoping that can be avoided with Lemmy. I guess with the way Lemmy works, two communities that hate each other don't have to complain about sharing the same website the way they did on Reddit.

Everything on that AMA

I really dislike replies to questions that aren't really lengthy or offer any discourse. I always found people to reply just with the title of a film when someone would ask "whats your favourite movie and why?" on askreddit. Too often people would just write the name of the film and that was it, made the whole experience redundant. I feel like this got worse after years of being on the site.

Reddit gold.

Annoying clickbait titles on posts making you click to see wtf they were talking about - EG: "Can we take a second to thank this character in Game of Thrones"

Massive amounts of cross-posting / re-posting of the same memes over and over again for klout farming. It's seriously awful on Reddit.
