This is kind of the opposite of the interface that I want (compact text), but if you like to use Lemmy/reddit to scroll memes, then this looks like a great and very clean implementation.
The fact that you need to mention it already makes the default UI a failure. Imagine a regular lurker jumped in. They wouldn’t look at a site you need to know about - people don’t expect it to exist. The default experience is like making a first impression. Having a bad one makes it that much harder for people to like the platform.
I agree that the default frontend can be improved, but there is only so much work the devs can do at the same time. There were rumours about a new frontend at some point, let’s see how it goes.
I completely agree with you. I personally use the Voyager PWA on my iPhone exclusively. The interface is nearly perfect, and regularly gets cross platform updates. I find that I almost never use Lemmy on the desktop because it feels a bit too clunky for me.
Which is also outdated and has been outdated, which is why they redesigned it. An actual, modern UI would do wonders for the platform.

I prefer the default Lemmy UI to Photon, but to each their own!

Alexandrite and Quibbler are also good ones
