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.

    Yea I don’t think it makes any sense to try to sort these items against each other. Maybe section headers would be nice too, a title for the Communities: section, etc?

      I thought about that too, have to figure out how it can be implemented (im not very good at frontend stuff).
