I'm actually a desktop user 100% of the time.

Ah ok. You are using the Lemmy web interface then?

How do you like it? I didn't like the tiny buttons and the general look, but I know there are themes that can be installed on the server by the admin.

I'm using the dark theme. I like how it looks, but I think the UI needs improvement. When I tried old.lemmy I find found learning new things about the site that I hadn't seen before in the default layout.

Yeah I hope there comes more themes. Should not be difficult to install either for the instance admin. I think people just usually use the mobile apps so it's not something that is requested often.

We could ask to install these if there is an interest?

I just learned about Voyager also, could be nice if you like to use a web browser:

I think my favourite browser one is old.lemmy. Voyager is too new age maybe? My favourite web design is craigslist

Yeah there is something to be said for the fast and functional style. I don't know if you read Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com) but it has also stayed with it's traditional look through the years, when every other website embraced "modern" design. And their users love it.
