Often, its asked what the fediverse or lemmy needs more of in terms of content, but are there any specific features or functionality you really feel are lacking?

Notification whenever there’s something in the mod queue of a board I moderate. At least I don’t see any such notification when using Voyager.
User migration between instances.
Yeah, user migration would be nice.
If it were a shift to simply using a keypair as the basis for identity, which would be a big change, then one could potentially transparently use any instance. That’d be neat from an instance reliability standpoint.
Keypair-based identity would also permit migrating an account from a permanently failed instance. Right now, the home instance is the authoritative source for the account. The problem with that is that if the instance goes away forever, then there’s no authoritative source left to determine who controls a user account. One of the use cases that I’m worried about is a big instance going down because the admins get in a car crash or something, and it killing all the user reputation that’s been built up, because nothing can be done after the permanent failure.
IIRC feddit.uk had a close call like this a while back.
