Now is your chance. I'm going to try tweaking things a little bit, maybe moving some things around, after I've done some stuff for the mobile site (dev.phuks.co).
I agree. @Mattvision did a great job.

The OP name is listed on the right side. Given that this is post information, not sub information, shouldn't it be with the rest of the post information?
The image preview in a sub's listing takes you to the post, not the post target link.
When I make a reply, even in my inbox, it navigates to the permalink, causing me to lose my place in messages/notifications.
You already know this but the mobile design is cancer. But don't get rid of the orange!
Clicking permalink isn't a permalink to that comment. It is really a context link. Can we name it as such?
The green for the upvote can be difficult to see in any mode (desktop, mobile) so it looks like my vote didn't stay when I reload and scroll /s/all because it is a dark green which looks a lot like the default gray.
Expanded text for a text post goes onto the next line. For visual clarity, it should be under the title, not under the whole thing. Said another way: it should respect the visual border made by the post's icon/preview and line up to the same left border as the title.
The voting arrows are a nightmare to tap on mobile.
New notifications should either be highlighted with a background color or the "New" button should be any color other than gray in order to draw attention to it.
Please increase the darkness for the gray background for alternate/even posts/comments. It's about 10% too light to be easily seen.
Can we have a "report spam" link?
Can we have a "block sub" with a confirm on /s/all so that we can block a sub without going into it? If it contains objectionable content, we are still forced to view it if we have to browse the sub itself to get to the block button. The confirm is so you don't accidentally block when scrolling on mobile.
Can we have a "by sub" override of whether or not we see sub css? If the sub owner overrides light mode with a dark mode, there is no option to see the sub without a dark mode except to turn it off site-wide. Dark modes tend to scorch my eyes.
Give me time, I could probably think of more.

All of these ones require backend changes, which I won't be doing. The stuff I do will be purely cosmetic, but you could make a post on ideasforphuks with these ones, or submit feature requests on Phab.
I can take everything else into consideration.
Sure thing. If I use phab, do you want one entry or one per item?

This is the only thing I have found out of place and unintuitive. Feels like I've been trained to look under the title or next to it.
Maybe also that the dark mode relies on cookies here where on Voat it didn't, but I don't understand the tech behind it. I mostly just use the light mode anyway because its good here.
Otherwise its a great looking site.
I'm a "go big or go home" kind of person.
Neat, if there's anything else that you think the site needs, don't hold it. Either post to /s/ideasforphuks of create a ticket on phabricator
My profile should have more flashy glitter clipart and I should be able to play a song from my profile page "Phukspace"
I've primarily used phone to browse phuks up to now and the regular webpage works great.
As many phone users I use AMOLED and would like a black theme (in the short term on the main page as it seems the mobile site is very still in development).
Completely black background and text with uniform brightness is where its at, not nearly dark background and varying degrees of grey text making the actually white text stand out like knives in the dark!
In general I would like to make it more visual/make it possible to sort comments and posts but since I'm a very new users it might be PEBKAC.
Other than that, the main site looks great and familiar enough to the format without being a visual clone. I like it

Some changes I have made to the dark theme since I made this post have reduced the amount of grey text on the screen and made the background darker (changes are not live at the moment). Personally, I use light theme on mobile because I find it a bit difficult to see everything on dark. @Polsaker is doing the mobile site, I won't be making any cosmetic changes on the desktop version to alter the mobile one, but once it is finished we will probably be altering how it looks in comparison to the current mobile site.
Could you elaborate more on post sorting?

I was talking specifically about the mobile experience, I didn't even know you have a preview mobile site. I'll direct my design wishes to @Polsaker instead as AMOLED is 95% found in mobile devices only.
reduced the amount of grey text on the screen
I'm stoned. What does that mean, turned up the grey to white, removed those elements, blacked it out? ^
Is there anything that bothers you about the CSS on Phuks, or general design?
For the main sites design I would assume 80-90% of the users will be browsing with regular LCD IPS screens and depending on what your design goals are, there's two routes to go down.
Dark mode:
If you want a dark mode with high readability you should beef up the gray text to rival the titles and give the dark orange text a brightness boost. It's pretty nice as is!
Night mode:
Night mode and Dark mode are different in the way that night mode is for low light conditions and should have less contrast between highest and lowest information element. The white should be toned down a bit and the orange in the scroll bar and top bar should be almost as dark as the author and comment class. The text could be a bit brighter but not much.
Personally, I use light theme on mobile because I find it a bit difficult to see everything on dark.
I prefer completely black background and white text for extra clarity on bright days, but I balance that up against battery usage. With white background I'd run my phone at maybe 40-60% brightness but with my preference I can comfortably run it at 100% brightness 100% of the time since it's only the white text that actually draws power.
Reddit's BaconReader and Voat's Boats For Voat have both AMOLED Dark/Black mode (among many other apps)
Could you elaborate more on post sorting?
I'm an idiot and didn't find the Hot/Top/New buttons.
I understand what you're saying about dark mode now. It's a good idea. I'll try and make it as black as possible on the mobile dev site, but desktop will be different.
On the topic of the current desktop dark theme, I got confused, I haven't changed the grey. I have changed the backgrounds on comment pages to make the grey stand out more. I did try lighter colours for the grey in the last redesign, but in practice it makes everything look extremely cluttered on the screen and makes skimming post titles a lot harder. I've highlighted the important stuff like users, comments etc. around the post titles to make it easy to skim without making things messy.
The sort buttons are a complete pain in the dick. @pembo210 was the one who ended up putting them there, it was just one of those things that never seemed to work no matter what you did with them. We didn't want them in the header, because that's a pain for people doing CSS on subs as they need to work around the sort buttons. Putting them under the header looked terrible, so now they're on the sidebar. I might mess around with other places to put them.

I'll re-redirect your design wishes to @PMYA since I'll probably offload the work of making a dark theme for the mobile site to him
Muuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh clubflairs on /s/football !!!!!
The CSS of /s/soapdoxbanhammer is triggering.
