This is the best reddit like frontend I’ve seen. It’s so good it reminds me of how the older days of reddit were like and lemmy feels just like it on some days.
See source if you want to self host it.
Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I actually kinda like the lemmy-ui basic theme. It feels easier to read and less crowded than the reddit-like one.
The power of open source though: everyone gets to use whatever they like best.
I prefer the information density of old.reddit. The wasted space of the default lemmy UI irks me.
But I am also old and crotchety. If the spread out / modern UI of Lemmy (and squabbles.io and tildes and new.reddit) weren’t more desirable, they (probably) wouldn’t be coded that way.
Probably because a lot of people who are attracted to lemmy might have loved the freedom and anonymity that old reddit offered them back then and this interface reminds them of that. I for one have fond memories of how reddit was a decade ago and it’s been a while since I’ve seen a social network like that. Everything these days are so facebook like.
Wow. This is remarkably well done.
Wow that’s scarily good
Very nice! Thanks. Now all we need is hookers and blackjack!
I honestly think I prefer Lemmy’s layout over Reddit’s (new or old), but this is still really cool, wow
