The Lemmy Frontpage gets cluttered really fast. Is there any way to get a better overview? Maybe a compact view without pictures. Something ike old.reddit or Hackernews.

And is there any way to group certain communitys? Similar to reddits “multireddit” feature.

I’ve been working on an alternate frontend that might fit your needs.

Here’s a link to this post on the official instance

what a gift, thank you. Remarkable how much I’m glued to that interface

I’d just like Lemmy to take up the full width of the screen. I hate this design trend of wasting 50% of your screen real estate. Old Reddit scales horizontally pretty well, especially with a plugin to hide the sidebar which makes it work well on portrait and landscape on mobile. Lemmy is cluttered because of how narrow it is. I messed around with the developer console and made it full width and it looked a lot more usable, but unfortunately those changes aren’t permanent and I don’t know how to make a user style or browser plugin to do this change myself.

You can do some pretty cool customization, but I have no idea how. I came across this lemmy instance that looks like an old phpBB forum:

I actually would really like something like new Reddit, Lemmy is far too horizontally dense despite wasting tons of space on both sides. I can’t actually tell which comment is the top most either.

Generally its just difficult to discern what exactly I’m seeing.

If I don’t find something soon-ish I’ll probably get deep into making my own restyle script.

UI and UX sucks for me. I would have liked to work on the UI, but the theme tech is not approachable to me. The theming seems to be coming, but just starting out with no docs there yet.

already exists. https://old.lemmy.ca I was surprised to learn how many different front ends my instance already had. I’m not sure what it takes to get it integrated on your instance
