I disagree that having a variety of UIs is a bad thing. I wouldn't want every instance to look like dbzero! It also highlights that Lemmy is not a single platform, it's a federation of them. Heck even reddit has two UIs!

I'm not saying it's bad to have a variety of UIs, but that there's no "lemmy UI" because it all depends on which instance you land on. So when someone says "the lemmy UI is awful" then we don't really know what they mean, because they might have gone to dbzero and thought that's what "lemmy" looks like.

I understand what you're saying, but what you want (conformity of UIs) is just not possible to enforce on a decentralized network.

I'm not saying I want conformity of the UI's across instances. Maybe my original comment wasn't worded great, but I think ultimately it's a drawback of the decentralised nature of the threadiverse. People land on an instance and make an assumption that it's all like that.
