We need a direct message option. There are people I’ve wanted to send a link or message to without everyone seeing it

DMs, native embeds for X/Twitter and Instagram posts, spoiler tags, notifications for replies, polls, etc. All missing, all of which are baseline features for nearly every other message board on the internet.

Native embedding of X and Instagram posts is the big one for me. The fact that we still have to screencap a post, save it locally, then upload it to a hosting site and then post the image link here just so people can see the post is kind of ridiculous. No other site does this. Acceptable in 2012... but kind of ridiculous to have to still be doing this in 2024, especially for a site of this size.

The frustrating part is that they've already implemented the embed APIs from both Instagram and X into the code base here, they just don't allow users to do it.

Native X embeds.

Native Instagram embeds.
