Feature request: Thumbnail Grid-view

[blox814123]

Describe the solution you'd like An Imgur-like grid view that highlights the thumbnails of posts.

In addition and optionally, I suggest the ability to move between posts by using the "left" and "right" keyboard arrows (posts expand on the same page, thus making browsing between posts seemless.)

The thumbnail should expand downwards on click, between the current and bottom row, allowing users to access posts without leaving the grid-view. You can see this working here.

Additional context Video or image thumbnails are used for the grid view. If no image is available (because it's just a post without link, image or video), a placeholder image can be used that indicates it is a post.

A suggestion would be 4-8 columns per row and a thumbnail size between 128x128 and 256x256

The post title should probably be included, other information like number of comments and upvotes may not be necessary.

Like the old project of mine imagi?

I built a crappy proof of concept and opened a couple art and other picture communities with it.

The code is some unusably god awful jank, but it confirms that I like this idea.

  It would benefit from that infinite scroll though.

Oh, and, why is there no selectbox to change the view in communities?
