Please post one top-level comment per complaint. Then others can reply with ideas or existing GitHub issues that could address that complaint. This helps identify both common complaints and potential solutions.

You can also reply on [email protected] to better organize the discussion:

I believe there are a large number of feature requests on Lemmy's GitHub page, making it difficult for developers to prioritize what's truly important. I propose creating a quarterly pinned post on Lemmy asking users for complaints and suggestions. This way, developers can better understand the community's biggest pain points and what to focus on. The goal is to provide constructive feedback so developers can prioritize the most pressing issues.

Please keep discussion productive and focused on specific problems. Avoid vague complaints or feature wishes without justification. Our aim is to give developers clear insights into issues impacting users most.

Maybe its just me, but there is one very common thing that happen to me through any firefox (desktop or mobile) and irrespective of any specific lemmy server, and irrespective if I'm authenticated or browsing as public/anonymous.

Lets say I'm looking at the front page of lemmy.world. I've reached the bottom of the page (lets call that page #0) and hit the "NEXT" button. The next page loads successfully displaying the next page of items (so now we're on page #1). I click/tap into an article or comments of one. This loads successfully. When I finish reading, I click/tap the BACK button in the browser. Since I was on Page #1 I would expect to go back to Page #1. Instead I GO BACK TO PAGE #0! So I have to scroll to the bottom of Page #0, hit NEXT again, Page #1 loads successfully. If I were to click/tap into different article or comments, read, and hit BACK in the browser, I would have to repeat the same page #0, scroll to the bottom, hit NEXT to return to Page #1 again.

Any ideas? Is there a different button somewhere in the body of the page I should be clicked a back function instead of using the browser built in BACK button?

You can open the post in a different tab, clicking the middle button or ctrl+click, until they fix this.

Hard to do with a trackpad or phone, (but I can't remember it happening on my phone.)

This bug is why when I'm casually scrolling I tend to avoid clicking anything that isn't a meme that can be opened in-line.

For trackpad you can hold Ctrl while you click (or probably cmd on Mac?) to open in a new tab

For the phone have you tried any of the Lemmy apps yet? There's a bunch of really good ones already

(Your complaint is still a valid bug report, just helping you to work around it until it gets fixed)
