see attached image, but basically having the images on the right side makes it so hard to "read" a post with an image, going back and forth with your eyes to "get" the whole post. So much easier to just put the images between the up-/downvote buttons and the text post.
I don't know if there's a reason for that besides looking different from similar sites. If so, I don't think this is the way, it really puts a strain on your eyes and our brain is not used to absorb information in this way.
Don't know where to post this, but one image interaction I would LOVE to see is being able to open an image with a single tap. Right now, I tap the image, and the post&comments open, then I have to tap it again to get the image to fully open.
I know everything is new, but i think it'll help the folks that are here just to browse the memes.
