#Pixelfed's major shortcomings, IMHO.
I realise some of these derive from the very proposition (ie, cloning #Instagram's horrible UI), and perhaps others are configurable or specific to my instance (#pixelfed.de). Still.
No distinction between “title” (short & descriptive; shown on media previews and thumbnails) and “description” (long text; on post pages only). 
Images are too small (on my laptop, limited to 732 px in width); no “open largest size by default” or “full screen mode”. 
Can't navigate between adjacent images; ie swiping or pressing →/← to move within a collection, tag, or profile. 
Small thumbnails (mosaic on collection, tag or profile pages) don't show the (beginning of the) description. 
Small thumbnails always indicate zero comments, even when there *are* comments. 
Large thumbnails (entries on home page) aren't clickable; one has to click on tiny “x days ago” in footer. 
New comments don't appear under “notifications” (/account/activity). 
Collections are limited to 18 posts. 
“Edit” action fails consistently. 
Even short descriptions and comment threads are truncated/hidden (eg, 4 clicks are needed to reveal/expand everything on https://pixelfed.de/p/tripu/265782587476283392); text is squeezed in that narrow column.
**11.** On profile pages, sometimes clicking the “collections” pseudo-tab “too early” does not work (it's not a real link, stuff gets build client-side, and there's a delay).

**12.** Only the last 9 collections are available; older ones are hidden and inaccessible.

@tripu I agree that the UX of @pixelfed could do better. I'm following the development closely, because I enjoy using the platform very much and many odds and ends have improved over time. So I hope there's more to come.
I'm afraid, comment and description handling is indeed unfinished. Other features have been dropped, like double-clicking the image for full size. Why?
Points 4, 6, and 8 seem to be bugs. An alternative view and navigation mode inspired by Flickr would indeed be very handy.
**10.** URLs in descriptions and comments do _not_ become links automatically.
