We just added Alexandrite to the server, it’s an alternative desktop UI for Lemmy created by Sheodox who worked tirelessly to make the necessary changes to we could host it ourselves here. So go to https://a.lemmy.world and have a look!
He continues to update it constantly, you can follow the development on his github page or in his community. If you like what you see and want to support him, why not buy him a coffee? :)
For those who don’t have Lemmy World as their home instance and want to use Alexandrite, either ask your instance admins to add it or go to https://alexandrite.app!
Edit: I should probably have mentioned that Alexandrite is meant for desktop!
What I really want is a design that shows me twice as many posts at a time, there’s too much wasted space.

If you want old reddit, just use https://old.lemmy.world
That’s pretty handy to know.
But I kinda like the way Alexandrite looks, I just wish it was more compact.
Compact, like this? https://photon.xylight.dev/c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
Looks exactly the same size.
I’m planning on adding alternate post styles in the (hopefully near) future. A more compact style is one of the styles I want to add.
I agree. I hate the trend of moving away from information density. It may seem silly, but it’s the number one reason I can’t use an iPhone.
I agree. For now, as I find everything to be a bit too big, I put the zoom at 90% in my browser.
I wish my browser would remember zoom settings for different sites.
Are you on Firefox? I use an extension called PagezoomWE or something like that. It remembers the zoom level for you.
