I can't believe how pro-reddit sentiment is. It's like a totally different reality.

Experiencing Lemmy through a native app like Memmy or even a WPA like Voyager (former WefWef) is so much nicer than the default interface.

I know I’m outnumbered here, but I always hated the old Reddit interface. Is it better on desktop or something? I’m only really ever on mobile.

Absolutely superior on desktop, especially when combined with RES. It has also been what older users who started out with old.reddit have been used to. New.reddit is like forcing a social media site format like twitter or instagram on a forum type of website like reddit. Imagine a vertical twitter-like feed on a desktop browser. Inefficient and lots of wasted space.

On the other hand, lemmy web apps like Alexandrite provide a modern look while at the same time maintain the efficiency of a forum-style site.
