Would be nice if it was “divided” by user types too. Imagine a post about a new Marvel movie and you could view a shared comment thread but also filter to remove “marvel-fans”, or see only “cineasts”, without leaving the thread. Could lead to more bubbles, but could also make it really easy to see what other bubbles are thinking.
Yeah your suggestions and a few more are absolutely necessary to make this a viable platform. I don’t think Lemmy or any other alternative is in a reliable enough state right now and almost everyone will just go back to reddit soon. But maybe in a year or so, who knows, depending on the devs (who seem to have questionable takes so I’m not too optimistic).
