Not that it isn’t a great place as it is
Let frustrated people comments happen without banning. Let us be ourselves, be legendary.

\c\all, with some light moderation.
Then some curated “default” communities with a mix of rotating non-defaults.
You can already see all in mobile apps and most instances
An all community, like how Reddit started. Being able to start up a fringe community when there isn’t enough content to keep it active really restricts community growth.
Niche craft, food, and game communities with lots of people posting/interacting
Rocks and minerals! Collecting them, observing them, and learning about them.
I would just enjoy for the content to be 80% memes, like imgur in the good old days.

People here downvote too easily. I’ve made some good faith comments looking for honest and active discussion, or to have my mind changed, but they just get downvoted.
So I’ve just stopped trying. I’m hoping as it gets bigger people get more willing to discuss.
And my point was proven because I was just downvoted. At least post something to discuss the issue instead of just downvoting.
They’d rather see you suffer.
Good memes, nice photos, interesting art.
A more efficient method of sharing some hosted videos.
But in general just more people.
The resolution of the left/liberal conflict. Anarchists and Marxist-Leninists have mostly ironed out our differences to the point of at least being cordial, but liberals and the left still butt heads. Considering Lemmy is never going to not have the left, it will require either the liberals leaving, defederating, or converting to the left. I know you said no politics, but that’s really the basis of ending the toxicity that does exist here.
I was hoping for more levity. Like pictures of kitties inside of smol objects 🤷♀️
Be the change you seek
Maybe someday.
Political affiliation is such a multi dimensional concept; reducing it to the labels of ‘left’ and ‘liberal’ serves only to downsample the space into something simplistically palatable; a tasty morsel to satiate our baser tribalistic instincts.
If anything, things would be a lot more civil if we conversed about specific beliefs or policies rather creating a symlink between one view and a thousand other tangentially related views and calling it some ‘ism’.
“Leave or conform” what a beautiful world it would be.
It is an oversimplification, but I believe the base of it is the base of conflict here. Do you think we should preserve capitalism, or should we move on from it? Do you think socialism would be nice, but have no plan to get there beyond electoralism, or do you have centuries of historical practice to look to for inspiration? I deliberately said the “left” in vague terms because even if I may disagree with anarchists, I can align with them on moving beyond capitalism. These two groups, the left and the liberal, form the most opposing sides in Lemmy bickering.
I’ll also stand in defense of the “-ism.” I am a Marxist-Leninist. This means I accept Marx’s theories on the law of value, the scientific approach to socialism guided by class struggle and historical materialism, as well as dialectical materialism as a world outlook. It also means I agree with Lenin on his analysis of imperialism, the strategy and tactics of the Leninist party structure, and the necessity to support national liberation movements. Telling someone that I’m an ML lets them know right away that I agree with these things.
Maybe some kind of causal game.
Canvas is pretty fun, but it ought to be possible to come up with something else, something that other places don’t have.
Could also attempt to do content competitions. Gamedev-jam, music composition, graphics, painting etc. Just use long deadline please. No shorter than a month.
Boot the troublemakers out and mean it.
slrpnk.net coming back oniline
Hexbear.net is pretty joyous most of the time
Imma go with “not mentioning tech or politics.”
