The original design was to move the icon to the top to reduce the size of the items.

However, after implementation the change it looks a bit weird so wanted to see what the community felt.

Let me know in the comments if you prefer A or B.

If anyone has other feedback for the design let me know.

A	B

Update: Based on the feedback. I am going with A. Also I noticed you can basically accomplish B by changing some settings and using the old list layout so this way we have the best of both worlds.

B seems more natural to me

Is the removal of the post author optional? I quite liked seeing that but now it looks like it only displays the community?

Yeah its optional

I would expect no less, just making sure.

EDIT: Something was looking "off" to me and now I realise that it's the upvote count being to the left rather than next to the comment count towards the right. I'm not sure I like that personally but maybe it's a matter of habit.

I find A better: more compact.

_ /\ _

Agreed

A seems more compact. The space between the post title and the comments icon seems unnecessary.

I like A better. The gap between the preview images on shorter posts looks weird.

What setting brings back the post author? I've made use of the tags and would like to see the authors on the feed still.

Settings > Posts feed > Posts feed header version.

Huh, I set that but still no author shows.

Sorry that was the wrong setting. The correct one is in Settings > Posts feed > Post appearance> Post header style.

That did it, thanks much!
