What do you want to have in a Lemmy instance? (ponder.cat)

I started up my own instance and now I have realized that there's no reason anyone would join mine instead of any other instance.

That's no good. What neat stuff would the Fediverse like to see in a Lemmy instance?

Follow RSS feeds in your Lemmy feed? I have that already, in a way, but it would be nice to be able to do it for any feed automatically without it being clunky.
Follow Mastodon users? Or tags?
Embedded video? That seems costly.
Hackability? The ability to run your own customized front end? Or good scripting features in the browser console?
A better looking UI? This one is functional but it's not pretty.
Better moderation? I have heard the Lemmy tools aren't that good.
Something else?

Can the pages play music, and animated avatars? I feel like you're onto something.

Bring back <blink> and <marquee> elements.

Can we also get a MIDI file to play at full volume whenever I open Lemmy?

And if you could make the back button malfunction and then reload the page, and also open a dialog when I try to navigate away, that would be perfect.
