Lemmy should rely less on JavaScript (lemmy.ml)

Lemmy should rely less on JavaScript.
Currently without JS you can't even expand the main menu.

Additionally, all those controls should also work without JS.
Or worse option - since they only work with JS, don't show them when JS is disabled.

The user experience on javascript-enabled browsers is also really great. Going for a nojs-first approach would hurt UX a lot, especially on mobile.

WTF?!

It would. If used properly, JS can have really improve UI/UX. Sure, you can make good JS-free pages, but JS can make it easier and arguably better (by being more dynamic, which appeals to a wider audience than static pages).

No, it would not.
