I think it's best to move upvote/downvote buttons for the comments to the bottom of each comment as regular Lemmy UI, since there is a large amount of dead space on the left side of the comments being taken up by the vote buttons that it's difficult to read past a few level of nesting.

Plus, regular Lemmy UI layout also shows the exact number of upvotes and downvotes for each comment at a quick glance, which I think is an important aspect of Lemmy.

Compare the space utilization of this:

To this:

A setting option to have media auto expand only after opening the post would be nice, the currently available option in the settings does it everywhere.

Cons:

1. I'm already accustomed to the light theme of Lemmy and can't find how to switch from dark to light in "Next."
2. When I scroll down to the end, there's 2/3 of the screen that is not being utilized. 2a. The red, green, and blue buttons in the footer seem to do nothing.
3. The notion on every post that "Your IP is hidden from another Lemmy instance" is kind of annoying and useless. Why is it there?
4. I dislike a little that it tries to copy the old Reddit interface. Although that interface wasn't bad, and I'm the one who would first say "don't fix what isn't broken," I'm more prone to seeing something new, some experimentation. Right now it feels more like "next to the old Reddit," which isn't exactly bad, but still...

Pros:

1. I kind of like how images work on "Next." It feels faster and more "in place." It's simpler for me to distinguish between different types of posts (image, link, video).

P.S. I'm on the latest stable Firefox (124.0.2).

I like this a lot in general. It is reminiscent of old reddit which is a style I like. Unfortunately it suffers from the same major issue I have with old reddit. Namely that the content is left aligned and there is just a crazy amount of white space. It's probably not an issue for many, but as someone who has a large 4k monitor, it means my neck is constantly turned to the left if I have my browser in full-screen mode. Centering the content some would be greatly beneficial. Hacker News and Lobsters do this, although imo HN could be better about it.

This is purely a matter of taste but I find that the typefaces being used and the way you're using them, particularly the use of the bold weight for the title results in dense slugs of text that are not as easy to separate out the individual bits of information (Poster, community, instance) at a glance the same way I can with the default theme. This is a minor issue and I dare say that if it's a problem for other instance owners they can bodge together some css.

Congratulations on your hard work, it is a usable interface. Well done.

Light mode please!

Can't select top 12/6/1 hour sorts, just not there

Not sure if it has been mentioned already, but, it would be great if this could be set to a PWA so various mobile web browsers could "install" it properly to the device's home screen (like Mastodon does).

Otherwise, I am loving it!

I think that it would be great to have an option to expand all images by default, possibly at 50% size for easier scrolling, the UI does look great rn

Thank you for adding the expand image option that I asked for. You are awesome!

"Bug":

Your IP is visibleto

Suggestions:

• Padding on left side / center mode option
  • Maybe its better on smaller screens, but on a 27" there is a tremendous amount of dead space.
• Comment threads are "clickable" like images?
  • Instead of having to click the title, allow clicking the Comment Icon

I just signed on, and the main thing I notice that's on here but is lacking there is the exact count of upvotes and downvotes. I much prefer being able to see exactly how many upvotes and downvotes something has, so I don't think I will use it as my main means of accessing this Lemmy, but I'll keep on testing it to see where else it can be improved.

I've been using the new UI for a couple of hours and will continue to use it for at least the next few days. I have a mild preference for the look of the older UI but no specific reason. So far I had three things I'd like to ask about.

I can find the instance modlog but not community modlogs. Am I just overlooking the link or are those not currently available?

I would like a direct link to my history on the top bar, I can get there by going to settings and using a link there to get to my public profile to see my history but I would rather have a direct link because I go into my history frequently to check for updates or new comments on posts or to find communities that I've previously visited.

I would prefer individual up and down vote totals either instead of or in addition to the total points. I would actually like a full interaction log that shows who has up voted or down voted like kbin has.

Eta: when I post a comment it changes to a view to only show my comment instead of continuing to show all comments on the post.

edit2: How do I block communities with the new UI?

Thanks for the hard work. It's already quite usable for me. Here are the issues I noticed on Firefox/Linux:

• Each comment area seems to have overflow (caused by the text buttons?), so hovering a mouse cursor on the comment reveals hidden scroll bar on the right.
• Titles are too bold and look somewhat intimidating.
• Rendered inline code (`...`) leaves the backquotes like this.

In the new interface, clicking the post title opens the subject of the post (e.g. the linked site or image), whereas the old interface takes you to the post. The only way of accessing the post itself is via the comments link, which is quite small on mobile.

upvotes and downvotes count instead of the sum count

I block large (in filesize) images with ublock origin to save data sometimes. Usually, the images are empty and get a red border and when I touch that, the image loads anyway.

With this ui, it just says "image can not be loaded" instead and I don't get the red border and I can't load the image.

This still working, or a native data saver mode like that, would get me to use this. I know that's quite a special usecase :D

I encountered a bug while posting another comment. If a user "Submit" text from the "Preview" view, empty text will be sent.

Hi, I've posted a github issue about blurring NSFW images.

Issue: Submitting a top-level comment seems to take me to the "single thread" view, rather than remain in the main view with all the other comments, plus mine. It doesn't feel very intuitive or ergonomic.

I've been seeing this a lot lately @sunaurus@lemm.ee

EDIT: issue with phone not uploading thr pic. But the error says Error: Error in input stream Unfortunately, we ran into an issue when trying to display this page.

Issue: clicking "reply" in a comment currently does not auto-focus the text box that appears. I did that and started typing and the page scrolled down when I pressed the space bar, which was rather confusing.
