In a recent discussion it was mentioned that the search function in Lemmy is awkward to use and could be improved. As a result I already made two small changes:

  • Change community selector to use !community@example.com format (#3218)
  • Search field in community sidebar (#3217)

Are there any other UI or UX changes you can think of to improve searching in Lemmy? Im mainly looking for frontend changes, such as reorganizing the input positions, changing default values etc.

    have you tried clicking the hamburger menu in the top right?

        I have taken a bit to realize this before too. Maybe the hamburger button could be highlighted better when the page is in that narrow layout?

          I think the communities button is especially important because it’s mainly how I navigate Lemmy. Create post is handy too. Create community not really.

          @Nutomic can we get these buttons back in smaller view?
