usepackageblindtext
begindocument
blindtext
blindtext
beginenumerate
item%
blindtext
blindtext
endenumerate
enddocument
This has two paragraphs outside a list environment, and two paragraphs inside a list environment. I've noticed in this situation that paragraphs outside lists have their first line indented, whereas paragraphs inside lists do not have any indent:
Why does this occur? Can I restore the indentation inside a list?
EDIT: I notice that in lists, by default paragraphs are separated by blank lines. Preferably a solution should also get rid of that. (For context, I'm writing up a solution to an assignment, and nearly every paragraph is inside an enumerate or similar.)

"why" questions are hard to answer, the list paragraph shape is settable as are the outer paragraphs the standard latex classes chose choose that layout as presumably the original author preferred it that way. you can set listparindent` and other list parameters to achieve other shapes

item properties can be formatted with enumitem. Then you can use listparindent for enumerate environment:
documentclassarticle
usepackageblindtext
usepackageenumitem
setlist[enumerate]parsep=0pt
begindocument
blindtext
blindtext
beginenumerate[listparindent=1.5em]
item
blindtext
blindtext
endenumerate
enddocument
EDIT: Thanks to @David, you can also set parsep to 0 if you want to get rid of that space.

The reason for this behaviour is that inside enumerate the length parindent is set to zero. So you can not use a simple indent as usual in normal text to get the space of parindent set.
You can simulate the ususal behaviour in normal text with the following code (See <===== for important code):
documentclassarticle
usepackageblindtext
usepackageenumitem % <===============================================
newlengthenumerateparindent % <=====================================
begindocument
setlengthenumerateparindentparindent % <=========================
blindtext
blindtext
beginenumerate
setlengthparindentenumerateparindent % <=========================
%showparindent
%valueparindent
item%
blindtext
blindtext
endenumerate
Version 2:
beginenumerate[listparindent=enumerateparindent] % <================
item%
blindtext
blindtext
endenumerate
enddocument
and the wished result:
Please see that setlengthparindentenumerateparindent does only work in that enumerate list you placed the command inside ...
If you are already using package enumitem -- as mentioned in an comment -- you can use it to use the same indent defined in parindent with version 2 in my mwe.
The you get the resulting version 2:
