Lemmy is certainly a lot faster than new reddit, but I prefer the aesthetic and speed of old.reddit.com and hackernews. I like the minimalism and how everything defaults to the left of the browser rather than the center. I also really enjoy how I can expand the entire text of a post without actually clicking on the post’s link.
Just my thoughts. Hoping to see more theme and front-end options emerge over time.
There’s definitely some features I’d like to see as well. I mainly access Lemmy using a desktop browser so that’s my perspective.
Foremost for me is a compact view. I’d really like to be able to view more posts on a page using a much smaller font with no extraneous line spaces.
A tip box that shows content when hoovering on a post would be great for me.
The ability to group duplicate communities would be a big help.
A setting to open all links in a new tab would make navigation easier. There’s middle mouse and context menu on right mouse, but I’m so used to left mouse I can’t beat the habit and constantly lose my place.
I need a global default for my sort order, or more granular options. You can specify it from the user settings, but it only applies to the front page.
