Heyo, what little things with Reddit and RES have you been missing with the Lemmy UI?
For me it’s been keyboard post/comment navigation (like RES) and keyboard shortcuts. E.g. I can’t post this submission with ctrl + enter as I could on many other input forms.
15·2 years ago- Make remote community discovery more intuitive.
- Make remote community subscription more reliable.
- Make navigation & reading work without javascript.
- Make dark mode available when not logged in.
- Indicate which comments are new when returning to a recently-visited post. (old.reddit.com does this if you have premium.)
- Display user and community names with the domain part dimmed (and maybe on a separate line), for less visual clutter at a quick glance.
- Display user names without prepending an @ sign, for the same reason.
- Allow sorting community lists by name.
- Horizontally align all community names in lists, regardless of whether they have icons.
- Reduce wasted screen space.
- When reading a post/comment on any random instance (perhaps found via web search) make subscribing & finding that post on the user’s home instance a one-click operation, so they can reply.
- Optionally hide avatars & community icons.
- Optionally (admin choice) mirror remote instances’ images, so they can’t be abused by remote parties to track local users.
- Optionally (user choice) disable or replace remote images, for the same reason.
- Stop auto-inserting new items into a list that’s being viewed. (It causes what I’m reading to suddenly shift or disappear off-screen, which is disorienting.)
- Make buttons work reliably. (Clicking them sometimes applies a border without doing anything else.)
