As a new Lemmy user, I have some suggestions to offer regarding the web user interface.

  • Collapsible comment threads – something to click on in a comment to collapse that thread already exists

  • Communities sorting – ability to click headers to sort by Name, Subscribers, Users/month Posts, Comments

  • Better community identifers on posts – Add the community identifier to the top of the post’s card to give more immediate context

  • Post thumbnails – Hide the thumbnail instead of displaying a generic image to make better use of space and avoid repeating the same graphic

  • Post outline boxes – In the list of posts, draw some kind of outline box around each post’s card for better separation

  • Post Sorting – When sorting by All/Hot, have a setting to control how often the list refreshes to avoid unexpected post shifting while you’re reading

Please feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments.

      Hackernews also puts them on the right, variable indenting. I prefer the old Reddit approach of having them on the left, as I can scroll and not have to move left to right to collapse. But I expect new user interfaces are coming in the next few months.
