One thing that would be nice to have would be body-text expandoes. That is, instead of the text-bubble icon just linking to comments, have it expand the post text inline.

Creating a new community, and the form is completely filled out, but when I press "create" it circles back to the top of the form. Also what is the difference between Name and Display Name. Name is what it keeps highlighting.

Suggestion for improvement: Change default sorting to Hot instead of Active. At least currently, Active keeps a handful of the same posts permanently on top, giving the impression of inactivity for newcomers used to Reddit. Hot will provide a more varied front page.

Hi Ruud, thanks for the awesome instance :)

1. Some feedback on my registration process: I have trying to register for a few days now getting more and more frustrated each time. Every time I would click submit to register the button would show a spinning circle like something is happening but it would just spin forever. So I would try registering again, and again, and again ......

It turns out my original attempt to register resulted in an email that went into my spam folder, which I have now located and validated my email with.

In short, I think what is missing in the registration process is messages that let the user know what is going on. For example, if I try to register the same username and email, or try to login using the same info, the system could have told me that I had already registered and that my email address was pending validation.

**2. Browsing Communities: ** It would be nice to be able to sort the table of communities by clicking the various headers of the different columns.

Thanks! :)

Can't sign in, had to create another account on another instance just to ask?

Hit login and it just spins forever?

On Jerboa app on Android, the feed/dashboard/frontpage has tiny font size, and when opening a post, the font size is huge. Changing the font size in settings affects both at the same time.

I've also faced a decent amount of lag and freezing, but so far nothing too dramatic or can't be refreshed. Just kinda wrote it off as growing pains.

I've discovered a pattern to my logout error as referred to here: https://lemmy.world/comment/1144382

It occurs specifically when I navigate to a community page, without visiting the homepage first. If I navigate specifically to, for example, lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld, I'll be logged out. However, if I visit lemmy.world and then visit lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld, I'll be logged in.

I wonder if this is a bug with SameSite in the JWT? Reddit's token, for example, has a value of None, where Lemmy's has a value of Strict. I've changed that to None for the moment, we'll see if that changes anything

Was Lemmy.world down just now?

Dear @ruud@lemmy.world ,

From my personal opinion, i would like to add 2 QoL improvements.

• The ability to go back to the community pages, with clicking on the empty area of a thread ( maybe like what Reddit implements ). The reason is that we can quickly navigate to another post
• A Scroll to Top / Back to Top Button

But this is just a suggestion based on my personal experience using Lemmy

Thank you :D

It could be useful to have sub-communities like Usenet had newsgroup hierarchies. E.g. within c/tools there could be c/tools/drills, c/tools/saws, or whatever. On deaddit (formerly called reddit) they end up making dozens of related top level subreddits scattered around but I think it is good to add some kind of organizational structure.

@ruud FYI, not sure if something is backed up between lemmy dot world and the mastodon server I'm on. I follow the c/gunners community from mastodon, and was getting updates in my home feed until yesterday. Posts (like this) are viewable, and can be replied to, by pasting the URL into search, but they're no longer showing up in the home feed.

(edit) and I see the reply shows up on lemmy 🤔​

I don't know if it a bug or not, but my Posts are nowhere to be found in my profile.
