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.

    • 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.)

    1. stop refreshing the front page/inserting new posts automatically
    2. mark as read on scroll past
    3. multireddit
    4. decent ipad app - mlem is a rgeat start on iphone but no ipad support
    5. consistent ‘go back’ experience - I have on a number of occasions gone into a post then clicked browser back button only to be presented with a completely different list of posts on my front page

    Make likes and comments have a stronger effect for smaller communities in the listing algorithm. The top of me feed is just c/technology and c/meme.

    I would love for links to other Lemmy domains to be localized to your home domain by default. It could also include a small button to then switch over to the other instance if you wanted to register a separate account there.

      I would like this one a lot. It doesn’t happen TOO much, but clicking a link and realizing you can’t comment/upvote because you aren’t logged in (because it isn’t your instance!) is jarring.
