informal PSA: we are sorry the UI got worse and more annoying to use, please blame Lemmy for all the shit that is now that little bit more irritating (self.chat)

we already collectively dislike a substantial number of 0.18+'s UI decisions, most of which are minor but are already adding up to be that much more annoying collectively. maybe we can sand some of these off with theming in the future. for now though please hang with this and petition them to merge better decisions in the future, thanks

What makes this further interesting is that the lemmy back end and front end are actually two different stacks so theoretically anyone can make a front end to their liking.

How is that interesting?

The front end being decoupled from the backend means updating the server doesn't require getting a crappier front end experience if someone wants to build a different UI.

I don't know how that makes the frustration of someone trying to use lemmy as a hub for a community of users interesting.

It's interesting in its technical aspects.
