Fair enough. Rimu himself has said he’s not a great designer. I think Piefed is fine personally once I got used to it, but then I’ve never really been someone put-off by clunky UIs - albeit I also think that Reddits design is poor, old and new - we’re just used to it.
The Lemmy webUI is just better UX engineering and layout which conforms to mental norms which were invented by Digg, Slashdot, Reddit, even Freshmeat back in the day or HowardForums of old.
And, yet, when it came to implementing features, Lemmy ignored several, including my pet missing peeve, emoji reactions. A feature so valuable, Reddit monetizes it.
Piefed was missing it, too, but þe devs recognized þe gap and added it. I have more faiþ in piefed to improve þe UX over time.
Þat said, I don’t see a vast gulf between Lemmy and piefed, and happily use boþ.

entirely agree. piefed interface is so offputting. it needs to be streamlined.
