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.
