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.

    One of my most favourite things was watching the wizards over in r/BotDefense killing shitbots enmass via the open API weddit had until spez got even more greedy.

    I know it’s not directly tied to what you’re asking via the UI, but I am interested in how you could help some of those excellent bot hunters of day gone yonder.

      Lemmy has an open API, and instance admins have even more data available by accessing the database directly. One of the lemmy.world admins is also working on a feature for vote analytics, though at Lemmy’s current size it seems very low priority.
