In web development, the technical term for those popup menus with multiple columns and headings inside is a "mega menu" and I just added one to PieFed. It unifies the topics and feeds menus into one.

It only works on a tablet or larger.

What do you think?

MUCH better!!

The pace of development of Piefed really is something to behold! I like the new menu structure with communities at the top, but I know others would prefer feeds there, and frankly either is good. However, could we get the mega menu as a separate page too, so I can bookmark it?

Feeds are first now

Thank you! I love that you list the comms we moderate first.

I haven't used desktop version in a while, but this looks good :D

It seems there are new features in PieFed every day. Great work!

It's better than before, but I think there needs to be a way to favorite feeds or communities to show up at the top. I'm subscribed to maybe 100+ communities, so the list is MASSIVE to scroll through.

I mean it's better but uhm. I would rather have a quick search like when you post to a community implemented than trying to find something specific in this big list.

[–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Oh and Feeds are now all the way down so I have to scroll a lot to gt to them, that kind of defies the purpose a bit for me who is using them as a filter.

Good feedback, thanks.

Moving feeds up and adding a search is doable

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah, for me too - I'd rather have feeds on top.

I'm following so many communities the list is really useless unless I use Ctrl+F. For users like me it would make more sense to collapse the list of communities unless I ask to see it.

Then again, I brought this on myself.

I really like that instance is now added to communities with the same name!

It would be nice to have all my feeds on top.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They moved to Explore in version 1.2

PieFed.zip has it since a while, it's quite nice

[–] suff@piefed.social 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

is piefed.zip running some experimental implementation?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

It runs the development version, like https://crust.piefed.social/ does

PieFed.social runs the stable version

[–] solo@piefed.social 1 points 3 months ago

For me, this is beautiful because thanks to the many rows, we can access more stuff in just one click.

I don't know how anyone would feel about the following, nor how easy or difficult it would be to implement something like that, but I'll say it anyways. I was wondering if we could somehow access all these in one click, instead of two. Meaning, what if these lists were on the sidebar? Or perhaps create a new, narrower sidebar on the left side? Possibly, them having the option to collapse as well?

Just some thoughts and thank you for everything.

I can't see feeds at all, just topics which are way down the bottom.
