What's wrong with Lemmy UI? It has one of the best UIs in the wild...
[This comment has been deleted by an automated system]
I hate it a bit, its so confusing and has way too many buttons everywhere, the search hidden away etc.

I think lots of them are better for general use, while the official one is most often the best supported. I disagree that many frontends are so great
I think that the standard look of web UI, for people accustomed to the look of modern social networks, may not be attractive.
There's a bit of an conflict there, because said UI appeals to old.reddit users and I'm thinking there may be a few here
There are alternate web UIs?

Alexandrite is my favorite. Can also self host it.
fdsfsdfsdfsd
If you want to use an account that's not on lemmy.world, you can't do that on Lemmy.world's instance. The official alexandrite instance let's you use any instance.
Why self host it? To not be dependant on Lemmy World if the person wants. They can also change the default instance
I don't understand how I'm supposed to use it ? the read me is cryptic to me
You go to the website, log in, and use it

That's really neat, thank you!
This is wrong, Lemmy consists mostly of posts talking about Reddit /s
