| Nov 6, 2021 at 0:30 | comment | added | bad_coder | @AaronShekey I absolutely want the detail if I'm checking my profile -or someone's recent contributions in detail- but for most cases that's TMI and checking a user's profile tab gives a quicker digest (and that's most checks we'll tend to do). An argument can also be made that a lot of users are beginners and having 2 separate tabs avoids overloading them making for a beginner-friendly UX. Although, from a purely dev POV maintaining a single merged tab probably would make more sense... | |

This is super tricky and a really weird user experience, in my opinion. I'm not sure what to do about it, or what we can even afford to do. Here's a spicy take for a perfect hypothetical world: Why do we even have a profile and activity? They overlap a lot. I think those pages can be merged. | |

| Nov 4, 2021 at 19:27 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | I suppose the rationale is that you already know who you are, hence you are not particularly interested in the general information about yourself shown on the Profile tab; showing Activity is more helpful. | |
| Nov 4, 2021 at 19:24 | comment | added | αλεχολυτ | @EmilJeřábek interesting is there a reason for such behavior. | |
| Nov 4, 2021 at 19:21 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | It only goes to "Activity" if it's your own profile; for other users, it goes to the "Profile" tab. (It always worked like this.) | |
