First I would like to say, great job with the forum so far Zenith!

Two questions/suggestions:

1. Is there a way to sort threads by "most recently created"? Currently everything seems to be based on what has the most recent reply.
2. I think basing the NoamadNet page interface off of https://codeberg.org/AutumnSpark1226/nomadForum would improve usability a lot.

Thank you and have a good one :)

See 428118bf70e715a89331ea928b250c05:/page/index.mu for a live demo. It's shockingly complete and I really like the interface.

1. Yes, absolutely. I plan to add a bunch of new sort / order features, and some searching on the backend with maybe Laravel Scout + pgvector or something similar.
2. I like that layout. I think maybe I'll add a few different options that users can pick to how the Nomad mirror of the site is presented

Let me know for sure of any other feature requests or bugs that come up. Feel free to make a new thread or post them here

Next feature will be LXMF reply notifications for watched threads, ETA soon

Could we have mailing list feature for this forum? It is pretty inconvenient to need a browser to open the forum and follow/reply threads. It would be nice to have a discourse-like mailing list feature where we could get new threads as mails and their comments as a mail tree, where we can reply from mail without having the huge overhead of opening and using a browser.

I know I'm the odd one out here and all my friends roast me for this, but a light(er) mode on the http side would be super appreciated. I have pretty bad eyes and dark mode (at least dark mode that is black/super dark) is really difficult for me to use regularly.

Another suggestion: Have the three reaction buttons be mutually exclusive. It doesn't make sense to like, dislike and love something :)

• Markdown -> Micron rendering on NomadNet
• Start reply counter at 0 (currently says "1 reply" when no replies)
• Web: When saving an edit on page 2, you're sent back to page 1

Really nice forum though! Love the simplicity of it.

Also, what's the point of the heart if you have an +, they are a bit similar in meaning and it's unclear which one you should pick if you "like" a post. I feel it would make more sense if the third choice was completely different, either having as a "funny" button, similar to what Steam does. Or have it as the "interesting/relevant" button, if someone is saying something that add to the conversation but not necessarily something you agree with.
