Mobile web for beehaw support is a page and a half of stickies. It’s not a particular great user experience. 😬

I feel like, Lemmy’s default sorting would've naturally given many of these posts some organic prominence.

I agree. The current UI is really good for this point in Lemmy’s development. However, it has some way to go. One problem is that on mobile, post size can be scaled too big, since it will not truncate text. Leaving large posts like the useful sticked threads taking up half your phone screen on some of the apps.

Not sure how to suggest to work around this. The sticked threads are valuable and shouldn’t have to compromise for the shortcomings of the UI.

Maybe collapsing the sticked threads would help?

Unfortunately there's a massive influx of new users and there's undoubtedly going to be an uptick on top of the uptick showing up July 1st. That's a lot of newbs. A week ago it was 10000 people versus 700 the week of two prior. People who've already read those notices and are tired of seeing them might become like 1% of the population.

Did you mean to post this in the suggestions thread?

[–] crank@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That is pretty good catch. I did mean to.. and I did post it there.

edit: sorry this comment doesn't belong in this thread (I assume). moved.

Just wish there was a way to hide specific posts on lemmy, that would solve these problems.
