Opinions?
And another example.
This one would require every magazine/community to have an icon, which most don't lol
Would be simple/sensible to just default to kbin/lemmy logo if they don't though
True but then you have a stack of icons that all look the same.
No big deal when it’s expanded but when collapsed it makes it hard to visually identify what’s what.
Fixes:
Add a single letter based on the magazine like outlook does with contacts
Have an alt title that shows when you hover (not as useful with phones but still)
Default to expanded so you can collapse it but the default shows the icon and the associated label
Could do what Outlook/Teams does and abbreviate the name in a generic icon somehow. Or offer some sort of custom input, either put in your own personal icon or piece of text.
That assumes there’s a consistent icon theme for every magazine doesn’t it?
Just that without the text and only an icon it would be hard to differentiate it.
I mean, assuming it defaults to expanded at first, it’s not a big deal. Just something to consider from a usability perspective
