    I would a UX designer and force their feedback to be accepted. I’ve personally grown accustom to Lemmy’s UI, but it took me way longer than most sites.

    • Communities having names and URLs misaligned is an antifeature
    • Creating a post requiring to subscribe first is an antifeature
    • UX rule of proximity has improved a lot over time actually, was going to write about this but all my complaints seem to be resolved
    • Lemmy UI is very customizable, but the default white and green theme sucks

    Actually, the more I think about it, Lemmy’s UX has improved a lot. Inbox used to be a nightmare, it works pretty great now.

        Point 1 refers to the “Name” and “Display name”. For example it’s cumbersome to have cases like “Programmer Humor” pointing to “/c/programmerhumor” and “Lemmy Support” pointing to “/c/lemmy_support”

          That to me is a very necessary feature, for at least two reasons.

          • Internationalization: URLs are always latin chars, which would exclude any non-latin community or usernames.
          • More complex community names. You can see how ridiculous reddit community names can get, because they don’t allow spaces or non-latin characters, in either community or usernames. Spaces specifically is a necessary one for both, and URLs wouldn’t permit that.
