Not a fan of Lemmy's "new Reddit" type interface (posting from kbin), but I'm happy to see the Fediverse getting some traction regardless.

Let’s just all agree that some prefers Kbin’s interface and others like Lemmy.

Not trying to stir shit, just genuinely curious what you have a problem with in Lemmy's UI? Seems fine to me so far.

As a desktop user, I hate all the negative space on the left and right of the screen. I wish it looked more like Old Reddit.

If you're comfortable with CSS you can use a browser plugin to modify the CSS to address specific dislikes. I've got mine set to use most of the page width, increase the sub-comment indent size, and a few other little tweaks.

There are some fancy complete restyles you can use too, but if you just want to tweak a few things an injection plugin is a good option.
