Obviously this is way early, and getting the app functional and out is more important, but back when Sync was being developed for Reddit, I remember ljdawson saying he didn't want to add Save Categories because that was a Reddit Gold feature.
Since Lemmy doesn't really have anything similar, would this be something to consider adding in the future?
That's the dream! I used something third party (eternity. sh?) to get past Reddit's limit of only being able to view your last 1000 saves. I think I had over 6000 posts/comments saved. It also enabled me to search through them and narrow them down by subreddit.
What exactly are save categories? Are they tags to categorize saved posts or am I completely misunderstanding lol? The more quality of life features the better, though haha
Exactly that! Say I had a bunch of saved posts about Linux distros, I could create a category called "Linux" and stick them all there. On the Reddit page for your saved posts there would be a drop down and you could filter them either by user-created category or by subreddit. It was actually really handy
