Can someone please eli5 why so many people are obsessed with the old reddit look and feel? It looks awful and very uncomfortable to use
It was ugly but functional (well, functional with the RES browser plugin, I mean).
I have yet to see a desktop Lemmy UI today uses the full width of my browser window. That alone makes them very annoying to use.
I've been using this script to make things significantly better on the default Lemmy UI.

@DeriHunter @liaizon Yeah the new Reddit UI may look nicer but I have to scroll for miles.
@tezoatlipoca @DeriHunter this thread was great its nice to be reminded of what we are losing when we do these new fangled redesigns
