Hey folks!

I've been steadily working through the roadmap for lemmy-ui-next (which is a new alternative Lemmy frontend), and it's getting to a point where I think https://next.lemm.ee is becoming quite usable. I've been personally using it as my main Lemmy frontend for several weeks now, and I know there are a few other brave users doing the same, so at this point, I'm confident enough to ask the wider lemm.ee population to try it out and share some honest feedback.

If you're at all interested in this project, I would massively appreciate it if you could spend some time using https://next.lemm.ee and letting me know how you feel about it. I'm interested to hear about things like:

  • are you running into any issues or bugs
  • are there any things that generally annoy you
  • are you missing any features
  • what would it take for lemmy-ui-next to become your preferred frontend
  • anything else that comes to mind

Please keep in mind that this is still a work in progress - some features are planned but not implemented yet (see the roadmap linked above for more details), other features are half-finished and may be a bit buggy still!

Any feedback would really help me out, so please don't hesitate to share!

I've been using the new UI for a couple of hours and will continue to use it for at least the next few days. I have a mild preference for the look of the older UI but no specific reason. So far I had three things I'd like to ask about.

I can find the instance modlog but not community modlogs. Am I just overlooking the link or are those not currently available?

I would like a direct link to my history on the top bar, I can get there by going to settings and using a link there to get to my public profile to see my history but I would rather have a direct link because I go into my history frequently to check for updates or new comments on posts or to find communities that I've previously visited.

I would prefer individual up and down vote totals either instead of or in addition to the total points. I would actually like a full interaction log that shows who has up voted or down voted like kbin has.

Eta: when I post a comment it changes to a view to only show my comment instead of continuing to show all comments on the post.

edit2: How do I block communities with the new UI?
