This is the best reddit like frontend I’ve seen. It’s so good it reminds me of how the older days of reddit were like and lemmy feels just like it on some days.

See source if you want to self host it.

    I prefer the information density of old.reddit. The wasted space of the default lemmy UI irks me.

    But I am also old and crotchety. If the spread out / modern UI of Lemmy (and squabbles.io and tildes and new.reddit) weren’t more desirable, they (probably) wouldn’t be coded that way.

      I’ve wondered the came. It’s less efficient. I just see wasted space. However the explanation may be simply that less content per page means keeping you on the site longer which equals more ad revenue.
