- Have we collectively agreed to follow the same UI to ensure easier interoperability for users?
- Can someone provide the link for the source code of the UI?
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui
They literally all run the same program, lemmy.
Thanks, can an instance technically have a different(or enhanced) user interface?
Yes. Lemmy-ui supports themes and you can even choose an entirely different UI altogether. For example this UI: https://mlmym.org/lemmings.world/
Wow, talk about people clinging to old.reddit.com UI.
I fucking hated old.reddit.com lol
I didn’t really hate it, but I never got how everyone seemed to love it, it was old and ugly.
I like that it’s information dense. Posts don’t take up a lot of space, comment chains are easier to track with the boxes, it’s more obvious which posts will expand in window and which will go to a new link. I don’t care if it’s pretty, I find it far more functional.
Simple and worked well with RES.
Tbf, when people say they love old.reddit, they very well could be referring to some of the better-looking themes. A lot of old.reddit subs, for example, use Naut. Some also use Minimaluminiumalism, or Simplit.
Might also be about using RES; a lot of the cool stuff never got ported over to the new UI.
I dislike those too lol
Old, and ugly are 2 very kind words for the outdated garbage it is.
Damn, you might have got hung, drawn and quartered for that comment on reddit ;)
I’ve grabbed a pitchfork out of reflex
Haha, that’s fine. I’m never going back to that shit hole anyways!
It’s beautiful
wefwef.app is also another web UI.
But it’s not an instance. It’s a just a web app for lemmy
Yes you use their backend and you can develop your own UI if you’d like
Or you can make a copy (fork) lemmy-ui and make your changes

Yeah that’s the latest lemmy-ui repository. You have the option to choose your own from the backend
They don’t all have he same theme. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com has a custom one for example.
Oh god, I hate that so much, jesus christ. Good luck to them.
Yeah I’m not really a fan of it either. I guess it’s good for people to have options though, if they don’t want to use the default lemmy-ui front end.
I just noticed it seems like the lemmy update for 0.18.1 broke lemmybb so it seems like they’re probably going to be inaccessible until they can get it fixed.
Apparently you can run the wefwef.app front end as well.
I know. Wefwef doesn’t belong to instance tho. The reason I asked this was, I wanted to know if the instances are restricted to use the default UI that lemmy provides

I know nginx mate. I understood what you said.
