Is your proposal related to a problem?

Currently, Lemmy does not have a feature that allows users to create collections or albums for organizing and sharing content. This limits the ability to categorize and personalize saved posts.

Describe the solution you'd like.

Users should be able to create collections of posts with private/public visibility. A default private collection for saved posts should be available, ensuring that saved posts work just as they do now.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

• Dedicated "Read Later" List for Posts and Comments
• Booru-Style Image View, Search and Tagging by Users
• User profile filter to show deleted posts and comments

Other ideas

• This feature would provide better organization over a single saved list.
• Allow posts to have an order in the collection. For a story for example, chapter 1, 2, etc.
• Allow sorting posts within a collection by date posted, date added, number of comments, upvotes, etc.
• Let users follow collections created by others to see new posts added to it.
• Integration with search - allow searching within specific collections.
• For even more organization allow to add tags to the collections.
• Browse/search public collections by tags.
• Recommend collections to users based on their interests and activity.
