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.

I think the lack of hiding of previously viewed posts is one of my biggest gripes. I used to use Hide a lot in Reddit but all the alternatives are missing it.

A few other issues I have:

the need to click into threads to open a link is annoying
the inability to open comments and links in separate tabs/windows

Hiding viewed/voted posted is a setting "show read", un-check it.

Yeah, I think that a helps a bit but if it requires actually opening the thread, then it's only a mild improvement. I'd really prefer mark as read or hide without opening the thread (there's a lot of threads I have no interest in reading but are hanging around the front page).

I appreciate the suggestion though. It does help a little.

I just vote up or down. When you pull down to refresh, they disappear.

Yeah. For now, I figured out that if the post is "text", I can middle-click it and it opens in a tab. If it's a "link" post, I middle-click on the comments counter. It sometimes glitches a bit, but it generally works.
