just wish the default ui was better (i currently use photon)
I think the default UI is fine but the good thing is that neither of us are forced to use any UI - we are free to have third party apps and stuff like that :)
The sad thing is the users in the comments on Reddit was starting to sour my mood before I switched.
I'm using Alexandrite, find it good
It's about as good as old reddit!? Isn't that what people want? A website straight out of the early 2000s.😁
EDIT: probably cheaper to host for sure.
I too use Photon when on PC. However I do believe the majority of users here liked the old reddit style of things maybe. Might be why the default look of lemmy looks like it does? I'm only guessing here though!
For old reddit style theres mlmym which fills that niche better (e.g. for you that would be at https://old.lemmy.world)
Default UI is currently getting overhauled in a bunch of different ways. Lemmy-Leptos for Lemmy itself, and new UIs for Sublinks and Piefed as they get constructed
also, instances can change their default UI. lemdro.id defaults to photon for example
