Reddit vs Lemmy? (lemmy.ml)

Using Reddit for years , I had come to Lemmy.

I would like to know the difference between Reddit vs Lemmy.

Like, what features Lemmy has that Reddit don't? Does Lemmy have some features missing that already exist on Reddit?

And finally: have you heard of Libreddit yet? It has LOTS of themes, unlike Reddit, including Dracula and others.

If you'll please tell me how can I have Dracula theme in Lemmy, I would appreciate it!

Thanks in advance,

Sincerely,

Yours,

Expert Plus

P.S. BTW, why Lemmy's UI isn't so look professional? I mean, it looks like Reddit's old UI, and as for me, it's suck, so can I have a better UI please? If so, how? Lemmy's lite version seems to be deprecated and i didn't find any Lemmy web apps that would be better for me. If you know one, please tell me it! Name it!

I feel the opposite regarding the UI. Lemmy UI is clean and easy to follow, Reddit redesign is a giant mess. It's bloated and flashy, but not at all ergonomic in my opinion. I find threads are much harder to scan through.

JESUS CHRIST, GOD how can people prefer an OLD, UNSTABLE UI???!!!!

Reddit redesign is a giant mess

Why are you so angry at a community developed and funded project? and old doesnt equal to bad. Dont gotta always fix what works.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

old.reddit.com is literally the only way I find reddit to be usable, if that ever gets removes I'm never visiting that site again

Old Reddit is the only Reddit I use. It's better for reading stuff, modern web UI use way too much white space.

[–] petrescatraian@libranet.de 1 points 2 years ago

@renlok There are also certain themes that subreddits use, which make the old Reddit more usable. For example Minimaluminiumalism or naut

I prefer old Reddit UI. I can't pin point why I don't like the new Reddit UI but perhaps it's the busy look of it.

I'll never be happy
