It also needs more reliability and a better funding model. I had complex ideas for collateral funding I thought about for fun, but a simple bounty system for goals might be effective.
I’m not really sure what’s going on with Lemmy development. If I was writing contributions for it, I would probably focus on making federation perfect between services first, because I think that’s very important to users. Though, I’m not, and haven’t submitted any pull requests. I did write stuff to pull all comments and posts from instances though as a start towards that goal, but that was more so for fun.
edit: As an example, I would absolutely donate $1 if you found 1000 other people to also donate $1 for a specific development goal. Lemmy.world has 6,000 people every day, I think it’s possible to raise some money for specific development goals.

The lead devs seem to be adamantly against setting that up, but they also seem willing to accept code contributions regardless of the motivations behind the contribution so long as they see the change as beneficial.
Lemmy needs a feature where only subscribers can vote by default and mods can allow non-subscribers to vote it they want to.
