Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.

What can we do?

      Well I do like new Reddit. It has a dark mode and works well with different screen/window sizes. Sadly it’s slow and equires JS to load the content (makes it slow).

      Imo Lemmy web is most of the good parts of old Reddit and some of good parts of new Reddit. Though it’s not the best UI. My favorite UI for Reddit is Redlib [1]. It’s fast, works well on desktop and mobile, and looks great imo.

      I like new reddit. It works well, I just wish I could keep it the same as it is. I HATE Lemmy desktop UI and nearly went back to Reddit because of it. Voyager for mobile and photon for desktop. Honestly photon for both might be better but I’m apparently the 1% of people on Lemmy that actually prefer an app over a website 🤷‍♀️
