How would you improve the front-end design? (lemmy.ml)

I've heard many people saying that the front-end looks old and needs more work, but I've never heard someone describe how it could look better. To me, it looks perfectly fine. I wish it had a card layout similar to libreddit, but aside from that, I think it's nice. If people want a completely different look, then there's lemmyBB, and there will probably be other front-ends in the future. However, we should hear opinions about which styles people want.

the mobile apps need more work done on them atm than the web ui imho(idk if that counts as front end, I'm not a developer). Jebora works, but It feels really glitchy to me atm. hopefully the developers of third party reddit apps will either help work on jebora or develop their own lemmy apps to make the mobile experience better.

edit: I also think we need collapsible comment chains (on jebora, just realized the webui has them)

Am using Jebora, just hold tap on the area just after the username

Oh wow, thanks! The hold is not very intuitive, feels like it could just be a tap. I also tried tapping on the left of the comment replies (where it shows the indentation lines) but obviously that did nothing.

Edit: just submitted a PR to fix this and allow tapping anywhere on the comment body to collapse it.

Oh, that is very helpful thank you! I would honestly have never figured that out on my own, lol.

I'm tempted to try modding Relay for Reddit and calling it Leray
