This is kind of the opposite of the interface that I want (compact text), but if you like to use Lemmy/reddit to scroll memes, then this looks like a great and very clean implementation.
The fact that you need to mention it already makes the default UI a failure. Imagine a regular lurker jumped in. They wouldn’t look at a site you need to know about - people don’t expect it to exist. The default experience is like making a first impression. Having a bad one makes it that much harder for people to like the platform.
I completely agree with you. I personally use the Voyager PWA on my iPhone exclusively. The interface is nearly perfect, and regularly gets cross platform updates. I find that I almost never use Lemmy on the desktop because it feels a bit too clunky for me.
I agree that the default frontend can be improved, but there is only so much work the devs can do at the same time. There were rumours about a new frontend at some point, let’s see how it goes.
Which is also outdated and has been outdated, which is why they redesigned it. An actual, modern UI would do wonders for the platform.

I prefer the default Lemmy UI to Photon, but to each their own!
