    This is the biggest thing. A lot of my friends simply think Kbin and Lemmy are inferior and look outdated, which they are if you have only used the social media site called reddit, not the link aggravater called reddit

      Experiencing Lemmy through a native app like Memmy or even a WPA like Voyager (former WefWef) is so much nicer than the default interface.

          I know I’m outnumbered here, but I always hated the old Reddit interface. Is it better on desktop or something? I’m only really ever on mobile.

            It’s a desktop interface and it works best on desktop but I will say, I hated the mobile app so much that before I had found RIF i used old reddit in on my phone. I still use it whenever I need to search something on Reddit on my phone, with the auto redirect extension

            Absolutely superior on desktop, especially when combined with RES. It has also been what older users who started out with old.reddit have been used to. New.reddit is like forcing a social media site format like twitter or instagram on a forum type of website like reddit. Imagine a vertical twitter-like feed on a desktop browser. Inefficient and lots of wasted space.

            On the other hand, lemmy web apps like Alexandrite provide a modern look while at the same time maintain the efficiency of a forum-style site.

            The old Reddit site straight up shows more relevant info. The space on the page where it shows people’s comments (or text in case of self/ask type posts) is substantially bigger, compared to the “new” Reddit page which is clearly designed to optimize ad impressions.

            I drastically prefer old.reddit for desktop. For mobile, I used Baconreader personally. I wasn’t a fan of either on the mobile website.

            It was more useful than new Reddit, and really only worked on desktop. New Reddit was slower and less customizable for specific subreddits. On desktop it also was impossibly unintuitive and hard to use for users who relied on accessibility tools.

            No, even the desktop version of the old interface looks and feels horrible. Its only upside is that it fits a lot of content on the screen.
