    UX/UI are only as bad as the client is. For me, Lemmy is indistinguishable from reddit (if you don’t look at numbers of comments), because I use Lemmy Sync, as I used Reddit Sync before

      I’m checking in with voyager here, and I came from the reddit Apollo app and I feel the same.

      It was practically seamless, though I’ve considered switching to try out other clients.

      Tried Piefed and find it clunky with my current level of familiarity

      I used Lemmy for months, mostly in the browser and my UX was absolutely horrible.

      The default browser UI sucks.

      I had to try many different settings and eventually through a lot of effort found the Photon UI, which is nice.

      The vast majority of users just won’t go through that effort. PieFed’s default UI is quite clean and modern and much nicer to use, which is why I promote it instead

        In what ways does the Lemmy UI suck? I would appreciate feedback in order to improve it. For what its worth I only use the default UI on desktop and mobile, and like it a lot.
