Comment on Introducing the unified new view for the topic list
martin@meta.discourse.org 1 day ago It just felt like a lot of text to show all the time to users just because they have an empty list, regardless of whether a user account was 1 day old or 10 years old…this is what we show now:
But there is probably a middle ground, like maybe we could show more info if the user account isn’t very old, or we could add more info in a tooltip? @awesomerobot WDYT?
Overall we still have to do more work on user tips/new user education, hopefully at some point we can get to this.
I think your post would better fit into the topic I quoted than into this topic.
Since /new and /unread are hidden from the navigation if they are empty I never felt like seeing those all the time.
