    In what way does it feel jank, in your opinion?

    I’ve personally been happy with it, and I would guess the maintainers are used to the way it works and might be blind to things you notice! But, there’s a real good chance that if you can point out specific details that could be improved, they indeed will be improved. At least they’ve done awesome job handling suggestions I’ve made!

      I think just general UI stuff across at least the homepage

      • Some buttons that wrap touch each other
      • There’s a banner at the top (since I don’t have an account) that has weird, off-center margins
      • When I first went to the site I guess the Explore dropdown didn’t load so it was an empty dropdown (though it’s now populated so that may have been a one off network request issue)
      • If I have scrolled down the page a bit, every time I click an item in the main nav (like Explore) the page scrolls up by about 15 pixels for some reason
      • The Piefed logo isn’t horizontally centered with the actual nav items so the text doesn’t line up correctly

      This is obviously using Bootstrap to handle the UI, and that’s fine. I’m not knocking that necessarily. But it’s a little jank and rough around the edges. These are things I noticed in, like, 30 seconds.

      And this isn’t to say that Lemmy.world is perfect or anything. And I don’t really use the desktop site for Lemmy. I just use Voyager on my pc. But even the Lemmy site feels a little more solid, if that makes sense (even if Lemmy.world is also using Bootstrap).

        Can I also say, as a somewhat normie human, that it’s called PieFed? I might need a little background information on this one.

        Though I do participate in a group named Lemmy.
