Any actions you need to take that could have been avoided = bad UX.

Any time you need to think and not immediately know what to do next = bad UX.

Sadly we’re in a time where users expect their hand to be held the whole time and where they expect zero effort to be put in and everything to just work.

For me the biggest issue with default Lemmy is, why do I have to click on a image post to view the image, when it could just have defaulted to a bigger size?

But I don’t want a bunch of huge images in my face. Isn’t that what pixelfed and Instagramy things are for? I only want to click on the things I’m interested in, not be shown an ugly frustrating stream of giant, semi-traumatic political pictures one after the other. Thumbnails exist for a reason and claiming they’re bad UX is incorrect, it’s the industry standard design pattern for any control that allows a user to browse quickly through multiple images or to provide an impression to a user before they decide whether or not to open the full content.

Lemmie/piefed is more about text and conversations so titles should always be the largest clearest part so you can read them quickly to know whether you want to engage with the post or not. Otherwise, how is it different from pixelfed? Likes vs upvotes is not a big difference.

I don’t understand your problem. Can’t you just tap the image to see it larger? I don’t have to click an image post like you claim to.

    Piefeds default is images and text are bigger, like a card style while lemmys default is like old reddit and compact.
    
    They’ve got their complaints in multiple comments in this thread but it basically boils down to wanting reddit but not being on reddit. Which also gets to a lot of other complaints about people moving because it’s different than current reddit
