A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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 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.

  • 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.)

Missing: A working mobile app

  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

And RiF. The ability to search for subs and create topic groups, etc.

For me it’s filtering out posts that I’ve already seen. Now I get the same posts over and over again.
