I honestly do not mind it one but. I quite like the interface. It’s minimal but there are some bugs to it which is to be expected. I really do like the overall design of it though. There isn’t too much going on. It’s like old Reddit which I am a big fan of
I like how it works! I don’t like the default web UI. For a ton of reasons. I’d love to see someone make a more old reddit-like one.
I’m surprised you say that - whilst the web UI is different and did throw me off at first, I honestly actually prefer it to the Reddit one. Way more responsive, doesn’t make my computer catch fire and everything is clean and easy to navigate.
At this point I’d actually honestly rather use Lemmy at this point, regardless of what happens with Reddit.
I agree, I feel like the UI could be a tiny bit more clear, and old.reddit does exactly that.
For example, threads seem to lack a tiny bit of indenting, perhaps a tiny splash of bg-color alternating.
Another thing that I have an issue with, is the page auto-refreshing. That’s something that really makes me press “ctrl w”. I am reading something, it’s there, and then it’s gone. Nope.
One last thing, and this is particular to the Fediverse - When someone posts a Fediverse link (to lemmy sub on a different instance) and you end up on a the website of that instance, obviously not logged in. You have to copy the link to your instances search… You know what I mean, it just makes it all clunky. It would be nice if Lemmy could check if the link is from the Fediverse, and then offer the option of “opening it locally”.
I hope they take notes from Kbin, it has a UI similar that looks like a cross between old and new reddit, but it is very clean. It’s still early days, but hopefully someone comes up with a better theme/UI.
