In a recent discussion it was mentioned that the search function in Lemmy is awkward to use and could be improved. As a result I already made two small changes:

  • Change community selector to use [!community@example.com](/c/community@example.com) format (#3218)
  • Search field in community sidebar (#3217)

Are there any other UI or UX changes you can think of to improve searching in Lemmy? Im mainly looking for frontend changes, such as reorganizing the input positions, changing default values etc.

Right, this is because it currently uses two separate api calls for search and resolve object. It will be fixed in 1.0 with https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5752.
