PSA: Two major points of criticism regarding Lemmy's user experience will be addressed soon
Firstly, there is the unstoppable flood of new posts that are added while browsing "All". Although this doesn't happen when using the Jerbea app, it sometimes renders "All" unusable in the browser.
This will be resolved once websockets are removed with the next update:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3008
Secondly, the issue of the same posts being displayed for days under "Hot". There is already a pull request for this, so it has been fixed and just needs to be implemented:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3076
Now, the only remaining points for me are:
-
Links to external instances should automatically be transformed when opened so that one can participate with the account of their own instance. For example, lemmy.world/c/memes should automatically become feddit.de/c/[email protected].
-
Communities from different instances should be able to merge, allowing users to see the content of all communities across different instances.

100% agree. Getting linked to other instances where I'm not signed in is a really clunky experience. It seems like that's been happening less since I got on the Jerboa app (or maybe I'm just clicking on less links)
Update: I learned a thing
Get the Kbin Link extension for Firefox or Chrome. It works for Lemmy too, despite the name

There's also Lemmy-specific fork:
