I’m curious to hear if you have any thoughts or ideas about this. As a developer I understand very well how Lemmy works, and cant tell at all what might be difficult or confusing.

I still think a theme precisely imitating the old reddit design would go a long way in helping new users navigate the site. I am still bothered by the fact that lemmy’s interface looks and acts like new reddit. I know its more “modern” but I feel like reddits modern users are exactly the opposite of who we want to target if were aiming to keep quality high on the site though I suspect as the flagship instance keep quality high will be difficult no matter what.
Lemmy is not a Reddit clone. I also dont think that Reddits problems are caused by its redesign, but by its administration policies and profit incentive. That said, we have documentation for making new themes, and someone could create one that looks like old Reddit.
By the way, lemmy.ml is not a flagship instance.
