How would you make Lemmy nicer for yourself? (beehaw.org)

Heyo, what little things with Reddit and RES have you been missing with the Lemmy UI?

For me it's been keyboard post/comment navigation (like RES) and keyboard shortcuts. E.g. I can't post this submission with ctrl + enter as I could on many other input forms.

              Make remote community discovery more intuitive.
Make remote community subscription more reliable.
Make navigation & reading work without javascript.
Make dark mode available when not logged in.
Indicate which comments are new when revisiting a post. (old.reddit.com does this if you have premium.)
Display user and community names with the domain part dimmed (and maybe on a separate line), for less visual clutter at a quick glance.
Horizontally align all names in community lists, regardless of whether they have icons.
Reduce wasted screen space.
Allow sorting community lists by name.
Optionally (by user choice) hide avatars, community icons, and remote images.
Optionally (by admin choice) mirror remote images, so they can't be abused by remote parties to track local users.
Stop auto-inserting new items into the list of posts. (It causes what I'm reading to suddenly shift or disappear off-screen, which is disorienting.)
Make buttons work reliably. (Clicking them sometimes applies a border without doing anything else.)
