I certainly can understand that. My issue isnt with the overall functionality though, but the absurd waste of empty space. "Old reddit" was far more useful and information dense. I would suggest kbin's default or at least an option be done similarly where way more articles can be seen in a single "screen" without scrolling.
This desperately needs to be a built-in option. Old reddit's design was far better than new reddit, why did these (lemmy, kbin) decide to emulate new reddit's trash UI?
