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 only thing that I find mildly annoying is when using the site on desktop there’s a ton of white/dead space on the left and right margins.

I've seen this come up a ton, but what do you want instead? Pretty much every website limits line lengths on comments (for good reason) and it makes a lot more sense for the text to go in the middle of the screen than on the left IMO.

I do wish that the stuff to the right of the comments would anchor to the right side of the screen instead of the right side of the content area though.

It seems like a lot of people make all windows, full screen, all the time.

I don't understand it. Having multiple things open and visible at the same time, is what a windowed interface is all about. I figured that out as a child. But so many people do it. All. The. Time.

That's what my other monitors are for. And that changes things from landscape format to portrait format (roughly, not exactly), and I am used to it. And if I really want to be focused on a website, I want its main information right in front of me. Just wider.

I used to run two monitors. 15ish of years ago...

I don't really remember why I stopped.
