> When a community is deleted if someone searches for it, it doesn't appear on the communities and if he then tries to create it the button keeps spinning without any warning that the community already exists. The only people who can restore the community are the admin and the person who deleted it in the first place. I think there should be a warning indicating that the community already exists and the button shouldn't spin. Or the moderators could be kicked out and the person trying to create the community made the new moderator. I don't see any reason for moderators to sit on a removed community. > > Originally posted by ghost in #1105

Describe the feature you'd like

What the title says, there should be a button that lets you switch to light mode because Lemmy's dark mode doesn't look good. There should be more contrast between posts and the body. Either make the body's background color darker or the posts background color lighter.

You should also make the navbar's color lighter because grey on black doesn't look good.

If a post's content is an image then the post should be larger so I don't have to open the post on another tab. Basically, posts should be larger, just like Reddit's posts on the redesign.

Describe the feature you'd like

"@mrsmellypants check this out" "@friendsonline look at this" "@friends cool info"

you get the gist, comment is invisible to everyone else as not to clutter

Currently there is only one light/dark theme option which is the "Browser Default" option which uses the litely and darkly themes.

Please have a browser default theme for all the themes that are available in light and dark mode such as..

• Compact
• Vaporware

Describe the feature you'd like

It would improve security if the JWT cookie is set to HttpOnly so JavaScript cannot access it. This requires some changes in the UI though since the cookie is currently managed by JavaScript running in the browser:

This can lead to fragmented discussions and make it difficult for users to follow conversations happening across multiple posts on the same topic. > > ### Describe the solution you'd like. * > > I propose adding a feature that allows users to select a few similar posts and merge all comments into the same view[^1]. There could be a user setting to show all comments for similar posts when you open any of them. The posts would have a selected checkmark that users could deselect to not show comments from those posts. This would make it easier for users to follow and participate in discussions happening across multiple similar posts. > > ### Other ideas > > - Vote Weight Calculation: Determine a formula or algorithm that calculates the weight of each comment vote based on the number of votes the parent post has received. For example, you could assign a higher weight to comment votes from posts with more votes and vice versa. > - Balancing Comment Scores: Apply the calculated weight to the comment votes to adjust their scores accordingly. This would ensure that comments from highly voted posts have a stronger influence on the overall comment ranking. > - Display of Weighted Scores: Display the adjusted or weighted scores alongside the comment votes to provide transparency and clarity to users about the impact of post votes on comment rankings. > - Visual Indicators: Use visual cues or icons to indicate which post a comment originated from within the merged view. This would allow users to understand the context of each comment and easily identify the post it belongs to. > > ### Related > > - How viable would a feature that combines comments from crossposted threads be? > [^1]: Linking related posts #874 > > Originally posted by 8ullyMaguire in #1908

This disrupts the writing flow and makes it difficult to format the text effectively. > > ### Describe the solution you'd like. > I propose implementing a feature that enables scrolling only the text window when the mouse is over it, instead of scrolling the whole page. This would keep the format buttons in place and within reach, allowing users to conveniently access them while staying within the text window, improving the user experience and making it easier to format large posts. > > ### Describe alternatives you've considered. > An alternative solution could be to add a sticky toolbar at the top of the page that contains the format buttons. This way, users would have easy access to the formatting options regardless of their scroll position. > > Originally posted by 8ullyMaguire in #1921

This button would be located in the right top corner of code blocks, quotes, and post/comment sources, and would be represented by a clipboard icon. When clicked, the button would automatically copy the text to the user's clipboard, making it easy to paste the text elsewhere. > > Originally posted by 8ullyMaguire in #1925

Currently, I have created multiple accounts on different instances due to heavy-load, defederations, and other reasons. However, it's difficult to manage them and find my previous posts. With this feature, I would be able to see all my posts for all the accounts when looking at my posts. Having the ability to see all notifications in one place would be a significant advantage Additionally, when modifying the content, it would be modified with the appropriate account. It would also be great if there was an easy way to select the main account to use when creating new content. This would make it much easier for me to manage my accounts and find my posts. > > If the Sync Users feature was implemented, adding some sort of virtual posts and comments to be able to see my content from other accounts without modifying it, then I wouldn't need this feature.
