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.

Yeah that's my biggest complaint. I did come up with a quick Stylus CSS to make a super-wide version of Lemmy on a widescreen desktop though. Looks roughly like this: https://i.imgur.com/cUIxqU8.png

I uploaded the Stylus script here: https://userstyles.world/style/10168/1440p-lemmy

This could potentially be implemented as a Lemmy theme, which users would be able to select on the settings page.

Thank you for this. I set it up myself but I just cloned it 3 times and added a few of the most popular domains as I've kind of been going between them seeing as there has been some downtime issues on all of them at one point or another.

Also just an FYI, I found out that your comment and subsequently my comment is not visible to any other instance that is not federating with lemmygrad because the comment you replied to was a user from lemmygrad. So even though beehaw.org federates with lemmy.ml and we are both lemmy.ml users, beehaw.org users cannot see our comments in this particular chain because it was a reply to a lemmygrad user.
