Suggestions for making Lemmy.world more user-friendly to outsiders
1. The website currently uses the Dark theme by default—using the Light theme would make Lemmy.world more friendly and inviting to new users 2. NSFW for work pics/clips should appear regardless of whether users are logged in or out (right now the only way to access them is by logging in), however, I agree that the preview thumbnails should be blurry
I feel both of these are matters of personal preference, and I think the admins prefer to err on the side of caution generally. Both of these are fairly cautious choices. Light mode might be more friendly or whatever, but it’s definitely more accessible, especially to persons with visual impairments.
Also, holy fuck lemmy.world update already. Your instance is broken af.
I feel both of these are matters of personal preference
Visitors to the site (and user that aren’t logged in) don’t get to have a preference. If you open this site in Incognito Mode or Private Mode, it uses the Dark theme by default.
Light mode might be more friendly or inviting, but it’s definitely more accessible, especially to persons with visual impairments.
Do you mean that Light mode is more accessible to people with visual impairments or Dark mode?
Oh, I meant that the admins were exercising that personal preference by erring on the side of caution. It had to be either light mode or dark mode, and I’m speculating they chose darkmode for accessibility reasons.
My bad, you’re right, my use of pronouns was ambiguous here. I was saying that dark mode is more accessible to persons with visual impairments because of its high contrast.
