Same. We need better Lemmy apps
Jeroba is great and open source (and free)! Rather than "better Lemmy apps" why not just improve the one that already exists?
I don't like the layout personally. I agree that we should improve existing apps but we also should create more options.
Reddit (and Boost, the app I used before) offered several different layout styles that you could pick from (e.g. cards, list). Are those the types of layouts you're referring to? Those could be added, I expect, and the more the merrier
Or do you mean more specific layout details like where the voting buttons are?
Jerboa has "Card", "Small Card", and "List" modes under "Look and Feel" -> "Post View"
Should be possible to use another UI or just another theme without needing to redo all the backend work.
If it currently has no UI/theme switcher, then some backend work might be required, but still much less than making a new app from scratch.
