How old are you, out of interest? Your posts in your similar thread about default viewing experience makes it seem like you want an Instagram-style image browser rather than the link aggregator which Reddit and Lemmy actually are.

I'm 32 and work in tech, The reality is the vast majority of people won't want to use old.reddit style UI

I'm comfortable powering through shitty UI/UX etc. I've even built them myself, but others won't settle for shitty UI

You and your friends are old I assume, and got used to the old.reddit UI, and didn't want to change.

Most people are used to modern UI, and won't want to change to old UI, just like you don't want to change either. We should better cater for average people.

Thats funny, Im also 32 and completely happy with the default Lemmy UI. Definitely wouldnt use something like new Reddit. But the good thing is that there are so many different choices, and its possible to create instances with a different default UI.

We could do AB testing and see what users prefer.

Or at least change the Default Ui to adhere to good UX design principles
