Not a fan of Lemmy's "new Reddit" type interface (posting from kbin), but I'm happy to see the Fediverse getting some traction regardless.
Let’s just all agree that some prefers Kbin’s interface and others like Lemmy.
Not trying to stir shit, just genuinely curious what you have a problem with in Lemmy's UI? Seems fine to me so far.
As a desktop user, I hate all the negative space on the left and right of the screen. I wish it looked more like Old Reddit.
Oh what luck, there's an old.reddit in your beard.
If you're comfortable with CSS you can use a browser plugin to modify the CSS to address specific dislikes. I've got mine set to use most of the page width, increase the sub-comment indent size, and a few other little tweaks.
There are some fancy complete restyles you can use too, but if you just want to tweak a few things an injection plugin is a good option.
I'm not a fan of how it's a narrow, centre-aligned thing. A lot of my web usage is on a Framework Laptop with a 3:2 screen, so the extra width of kbin and old Reddit's interface is valuable to me. Lemmy.world feels like it's made to be used in a window off to the side of something else.
Gotcha, that makes a ton of sense. I guess I just got used to a bunch of websites using this style so it doesn't bother me as much, but it is annoying to have so much wasted space.
That's funny, I chose Lemmy because I didn't like Kbin's UI
