MODERATORS
Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I actually kinda like the lemmy-ui basic theme. It feels easier to read and less crowded than the reddit-like one.
The power of open source though: everyone gets to use whatever they like best.
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.
Probably because a lot of people who are attracted to lemmy might have loved the freedom and anonymity that old reddit offered them back then and this interface reminds them of that. I for one have fond memories of how reddit was a decade ago and it's been a while since I've seen a social network like that. Everything these days are so facebook like.
