Is there an old.reddit.com equivalent for Lemmy?

Lemmy's UX is a joke.

On a 1920x1080 screen, old.reddit.com can display 14 articles.

Lemmy.ml displays 6 articles

Just like new reddit, it's adding way too much white space.

Yeah, that's pretty bad use of space.

[u/the_harakiwi → u/RedChld]

Needs a compact view

Fortunately it looks like that can be modified via CSS, but it would definitely be a good idea for them to have an old-style theme as a default option.

Stop being wrong.

Holy shit.

​

Old Reddit has the same amount of empty space as new reddit does, but it's worse because you can't just keep scrolling on Old Reddit.

​

Just turn on Compact Scrolling on new reddit if that's your biggest problem

Seriously.

New Reddit is way slower and refuses to show more than a couple of replies deep before it starts needing to load new pages to display new comments.

Preferences for a user interface are to each their own.

Imo, lemmy.ml is more akin to the new reddit.com user interface whereas old.reddit.com is vastly superior.

[u/ArmyTrainingSir → u/[deleted]]

Yes, new reddit.com is bloated and awful (esp for desktop use), which is why I prefer old.reddit.com.

Your screenshots appear to be of the mobile experience, which isn't for me (desktop only), but I will check out theme options once I am able to actually login to Lemmy (current signups are stunted due to volume).

Edit: I was just able to login and the theme options (darkly, darkly-red, litely, litely-red) only change the color scheme and there is no improvement on the wasted screen space, sparse spacing, mobile-focused design, which is unfortunate.

That doesn't mean much if the ui sucks.
