I don't know if this counts and it might be too much to ask for but it would be nice if there was some marketing or advertising.

Peertube and Mastodon have easy-to-digest videos explaining what the platform is and how it works. It would be nice if Lemmy had its own too.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=gOkXkMzhdko

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I agree, though I probably wouldn't call it marketing or advertising. Maybe just a better and more accessible introduction and onboarding experience.
