  • Have we collectively agreed to follow the same UI to ensure easier interoperability for users?
  • Can someone provide the link for the source code of the UI?

Thanks, can an instance technically have a different(or enhanced) user interface?

[-] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

Yes. Lemmy-ui supports themes and you can even choose an entirely different UI altogether. For example this UI: https://mlmym.org/lemmings.world/

Wow, talk about people clinging to old.reddit.com UI.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I fucking hated old.reddit.com lol

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I didn't really hate it, but I never got how everyone seemed to love it, it was old and ugly.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I like that it's information dense. Posts don't take up a lot of space, comment chains are easier to track with the boxes, it's more obvious which posts will expand in window and which will go to a new link. I don't care if it's pretty, I find it far more functional.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Simple and worked well with RES.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Tbf, when people say they love old.reddit, they very well could be referring to some of the better-looking themes. A lot of old.reddit subs, for example, use Naut. Some also use Minimaluminiumalism, or Simplit.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Might also be about using RES; a lot of the cool stuff never got ported over to the new UI.

[-] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

I dislike those too lol

[-] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

Old, and ugly are 2 very kind words for the outdated garbage it is.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Damn, you might have got hung, drawn and quartered for that comment on reddit ;)

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Haha, that's fine. I'm never going back to that shit hole anyways!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've grabbed a pitchfork out of reflex

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's beautiful

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

wefwef.app is also another web UI.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

But it's not an instance. It's a just a web app for lemmy

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes you use their backend and you can develop your own UI if you'd like

Or you can make a copy (fork) lemmy-ui and make your changes

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It’s got to be two separable layers. Sounds like the lemmy server just happens to be bundled with a particular UI layer that can access the server’s APIs.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah that's the latest lemmy-ui repository. You have the option to choose your own from the backend

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

But you could switch out the whole lemmy ui with wefwef if you wanted to. It probably doesn't have all the admin functionality, but theoretically it's possible.
