What's wrong with Lemmy UI? It has one of the best UIs in the wild...

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

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
