    And so you decided to spread that misinformation further, instead of simply replying that it is wrong? I’m also very curious in what ways you consider Piefed’s UI better than Lemmy.

      Good UX is all about removing friction and making users have to click less and think less.

      Users these days are expect their hands to be held and things to just work, that sadly is just the reality.

      Let me start off with saying, I started on Lemmy and even donated to Lemmy, PieFed can only grow because it’s standing on the shoulders of giants (lemmy)

      My alt is AnonomousWolf, you can look it up, since I joined I complained about bat UX, but people told me to GTFO. PieFed fixes many of those issues I complained about.

      Let me do a quick test and walk you through my thought possesses and UX. I’ll make 2 comments in this post, one for lemmy.ml one for piefed.social

        – open https://lemmy.ml/
        – met with a list of posts, most images too small for me to see or read.
        – click on first post so that I can see the image - https://lemmy.ml/post/42503928 – taken to a page where I still can’t see the image I clicked to see – Click on the image, now I can see it.

        – See some comments
        – now I need to click back to continue

        – see another interesting post, image to small, can’t see so I have to click – https://lemmy.ml/post/42501566
        – Still can’t see image so I click on the image – now I’m taken to https://mecha.so/comet#overview
        – WTF, why am I on a different site? Why am I here,where are the comments – Realisze I can’t distinguish between Image posts and Links to a different site. – Why is this so confusing to browse?

          Sounds like you are specifically looking for a client focused on image browsing. In that case I would suggest linking to vger.app, phtn.app or blorp which I linked in another comment. Lemmy 1.0 will also have a card view which admins can set as default, where images are already expanded.

          see another interesting post, image to small, can’t see so I have to click – https://lemmy.ml/post/42501566

          This is only the link preview (indicated by the arrow icon), not an image post. Is the icon too small?
