Your dedication is impressive all on its own:-). I cannot begin to imagine how difficult it must be to balance all of those types of design decisions, but as you say, you have a long list of things that you want to work through already, and keeping it "intuitive" is merely one among many other tasks, made all the more expensive by all the changes over time.

I was also pleased to hear that you would switch to Sublinks when that became available. Unfortunately it looks like that project is stalled a bit, but I hope that when PieFed comes out with an API that Tesseract would also be another way to interact with that backend as well. (But if not, it's understandable - Sublinks was designed to be intercompatible with Lemmy, while PieFed is a whole other thing - so I'm not even "pushing" in the slightest, just expressing a naive hope based on no knowledge whatsoever of what various factors are involved!)

Thanks for the insight here, and for your friendliness in keeping the Fediverse running, making it a bit less hostile than it would otherwise feel without all of your contributions:-).
