I really like the concept of a federated message board. This is what I wanted for my life. However, Lemmy.ml is kinda difficult to surf through comments and it’s actually bothering me. It actually clones the new reddit, while the old reddit was much better in terms of reading.
I’d like to see more customization in general honestly e.g.: custom CSS (yes I know you can do it with browser extensions). I do agree that I think a more compact layout would be better though.
