Beauty is in the eye of the beholder :-)

OK, I was on my phone. Just checked on my desktop and agree the original could do with some margins. I stand behind the rest of what I said - the default colours for the “best” are awful - the black black and red red is really garish. If I didn’t notice the dark/light mode switch and contrast adjustment does it really matter if they were there or not? There is also way to much information on the “best” one - if I’m going to a web site cold, with no expectation at all of what you might find, I’m not going to sit there and read that much text - I need a gentle introduction, that may lead somewhere.

I prefer the original. The “better” one had a bit of a lag (only a fraction of a second, but in this context that’s important) loading and the “best” one has the same lag and unreadable colours.

I’m not a server admin., just a user. The Lemmy instance I’m on setup a Piefed instance in parallel and is giving users the option to use either, or both. I’m still trying to get my head around the history and the pros/cons of each but for now it seems like I’m switching to Piefed. I imagine that if most users move then the Lemmy instance might get shutdown in the future.
