Lemmy's default web UI?

It's barebones and not the most readable. Clearly designed for the desktop browser experience, which is never going to be the dominant way of using Lemmy.

But my biggest issue with it is that it defaults to the worst feed and sorting algorithm Lemmy has. Every time I load the page, it is back to the "local" feed, sorted by "active" even if I've changed my account settings.

It actually has, if you scroll down to the bottom there are plenty of users stating default UI plus some plugin.
