I’ve heard many people saying that the front-end looks old and needs more work, but I’ve never heard someone describe how it could look better. To me, it looks perfectly fine. I wish it had a card layout similar to libreddit, but aside from that, I think it’s nice. If people want a completely different look, then there’s lemmyBB, and there will probably be other front-ends in the future. However, we should hear opinions about which styles people want.

    I don’t like how it feels like a copy of new Reddit. I would prefer a layout similar to old.reddit. This seems geared towards mobile with everything justified in the center so a tone of blank space on either side on desktop

    I’ve tried several apps for Reddit on android over the past few years and this is what I’m currently finding uncomfortable using Jerboa for Lemmy:

    • the numbers on the top right corner of the posts are confusing. Like right now they are saying “24 13”. Based on the upvote behavior I think 24 is rating. I’m guessing 13 shows how old is the post but it looks counterintuitive without a measurement unit. Is it 13 mins or 13 hours or 13 months or what?
    • is there a way to collapse comment threads?
    • on some of my previous apps for Reddit there was a way to hide read posts. I don’t really want to scroll past everything I’ve already seen every time I open the app.

    That said, I really like Lemmy and hope it’ll get the fanbase it deserves.
