We added an extra UI for our users. Photon by Xylight is an interface with a sleek, modern look and has all the bells and whistles you would need. Moderator tools included! You can access the UI from https://photon.lemmy.world.
Visit Photon’s project page on github or get in touch with the developer in the !photon@lemmy.xylight.dev community. If you want to use photon on other instances you can do so from https://phtn.app.
Update: @Xylight has set up a donation link so if you like photon as much as I do, show him some love! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/xylight
This is probably the closest to new reddit we have so far, lots of people won’t use Lemmy because it’s “ugly” so this would be good to recommend
I mean, even with RES, I’d argue that Reddit is also kinda ugly
Most people use new reddit and have gotten used to social media sites prioritizing looks over functionality
I like new reddit because of big pics and videos. Don’t have time for clicking every post. I’m here for scroll and giggles.
pretty sure the only reason why they didn’t go the extra mile to incorporate this to the old reddit is because they (unsurprisingly) want everyone to only browse the new reddit.
yeah, reddit has its own business. why lemmy force us to enlarge every picture in web version? all mobile clients have big pictures by default.
and if people (like me) want old reddit, mlmym exists. nice for people to have options
I think the only thing I find “ugly” about the default Lemmy UI is the green buttons and inconsistent border radii on them. Everything else looks rather decent and very functional.

is that a bad thing?
Not at all
