Hi! I joined kbin a few days ago, and found it hard to get used to the new UI, so I made a theme which replicates old Reddit as closely as I can!
To install the theme, you first have to install the Stylus browser addon, then you can install the theme here!
I also highly recommend using the Kbin Usability Pack as well, it adds alot of very helpful things! To be clear I didn’t make this.
I hope people find this theme helpful! Please report any bugs by just responding to this… article? or making an issue on the github!
This desperately needs to be a built-in option. Old reddit’s design was far better than new reddit, why did these (lemmy, kbin) decide to emulate new reddit’s trash UI?
First…Kbin’s UI is IIRC currently in its alpha state. This isn’t the finished product. Secondly, the UI is setup in the manner old internet forums used to be organized, with some additional tweeks to prioritize boosted and upvoted topics. Finally, this UI may not emulate Reddit in its final upgrade because it’s a different kind of social platform.
I’d just ask people to be patient. There has been a huge influx of users to kbin, and lemmy over the course of the past month and the people behind the scenes have been working tirelessly just to keep up with user/server demand.
I certainly can understand that. My issue isnt with the overall functionality though, but the absurd waste of empty space. “Old reddit” was far more useful and information dense. I would suggest kbin’s default or at least an option be done similarly where way more articles can be seen in a single “screen” without scrolling.
