Heyo, what little things with Reddit and RES have you been missing with the Lemmy UI?

For me it’s been keyboard post/comment navigation (like RES) and keyboard shortcuts. E.g. I can’t post this submission with ctrl + enter as I could on many other input forms.

    I think the lack of hiding of previously viewed posts is one of my biggest gripes. I used to use Hide a lot in Reddit but all the alternatives are missing it.

    A few other issues I have:

    • the need to click into threads to open a link is annoying
    • the inability to open comments and links in separate tabs/windows
    • lack of flair - /r/nfl flair were really nice, for example

        Yeah, I think that a helps a bit but if it requires actually opening the thread, then it’s only a mild improvement. I’d really prefer mark as read or hide without opening the thread (there’s a lot of threads I have no interest in reading but are hanging around the front page).

        I appreciate the suggestion though. It does help a little.

      Yeah. For now, I figured out that if the post is “text”, I can middle-click it and it opens in a tab. If it’s a “link” post, I middle-click on the comments counter. It sometimes glitches a bit, but it generally works.
