Lemmy frontend (lemm.ee)

The Lemmy web frontend is terrible (on desktop, at least). I have to click on every single image for it to load and it's just generally ugly. Any good alternative frontends would be greatly appreciated. I checked some of them and they are either not loading or as bad as the original one.

Sounds like Photon might be the one you're looking for: https://phtn.app/

Thanks for mentioning this. Now my instance runs it as the main UI. It is so nice, and written in Svelte I see. Fast and clean.

It looks so much better than the original one, but the scrolling is a bit weird, so I'm going to use Alexandrite.

Some of the alt UIs mentioned in this thread can be test-driven on lemmy.world:

And as others have said, once you find one you like you can self-host it and use it with any instance you prefer.

I use Alexandrite. It works like my brain wants it to work, makes good use of wide display, has keyboard shortcuts, automatically opens external links in a new tab, and can be self hosted (if you want... I do).

I've been using Mlmym.

But sadly the official Mlmym site doesn't seem to be up anymore but https://o.opnxng.com/ still host an instance.

There are quite a few options.

A popular one is https://phtn.app/

This thread has some more suggestions.
