The Lemmy Frontpage gets cluttered really fast. Is there any way to get a better overview? Maybe a compact view without pictures. Something ike old.reddit or Hackernews.
And is there any way to group certain communitys? Similar to reddits “multireddit” feature.
I’ve been working on an alternate frontend that might fit your needs.

Here’s a link to this post on the official instance
what a gift, thank you. Remarkable how much I’m glued to that interface
I actually would really like something like new Reddit, Lemmy is far too horizontally dense despite wasting tons of space on both sides. I can’t actually tell which comment is the top most either.
Generally its just difficult to discern what exactly I’m seeing.
If I don’t find something soon-ish I’ll probably get deep into making my own restyle script.
UI and UX sucks for me. I would have liked to work on the UI, but the theme tech is not approachable to me. The theming seems to be coming, but just starting out with no docs there yet.
On lemmy? No. The devs decided to do a single page app with a REST API, which leads to the sluggishness and slow load-time. kbin (which is compatible with lemmy’s content) is your best bet, IMHO. https://kbin.fediverse.observer/list
I’m too used to lemmy unfortunately, and kbin is far from perfect.
already exists. https://old.lemmy.ca I was surprised to learn how many different front ends my instance already had. I’m not sure what it takes to get it integrated on your instance
I have been a multireddit user since… I started using Reddit? I will continue to use it until Lemmy grows enough for me to become independently a competent link aggregator for tech news through any instances that web scrape Reddit post June 30.
I did relay my woes to admins before about the density of UI, because Lemmy wastes screen space a lot.
I use a minor hack if anyone wants to try it out on Firefox for computer and for Android as well. On computer, I set default zoom to 90% across browser on a 1366x768 screen. On Firefox Android, I have zoom set to 70% on Full HD resolution. It is satisfactory on Android, but barely on computer.
