I guess so. Every Lemmy app I’ve used also offers similar views.

You’re thinking like a designer for a slick, centralised, profit-and-growth-seeking company (no shade, I’m guessing that thinking literally makes you good at your job). The fediverse is entirely about choice; if different instances want to have a different default look and feel then that’s great and new users can pick one they like the look of, but insisting that everyone should have the one that you think is best isn’t a meaningful or helpful change.
How old are you, out of interest? Your posts in your similar thread about default viewing experience makes it seem like you want an Instagram-style image browser rather than the link aggregator which Reddit and Lemmy actually are.
Literally my first experience after installing dark reader is that it can’t darken its own add-on page! Seems to be good for other pages so I’ll give it a go for now.
I always found that to be quite hit and miss. Works for plenty but often gives a flash of white before it kicks in and makes enough pages unreadable that I’d rather not bother at all! I’ll give it another go and see if it’s improved though.
Why do we need to change what current users already like to attract some theoretical new user that might want a dumbed-down view? This is starting to sound like infinite-growth corpo speak!
I always use an app so I barely interact with the web ui
What makes you think it sucks? That’s just your opinion, do you mainly just look at image posts? Personally I prefer posts being collapsed by default so I can scroll through and find the interesting ones. Arbitrarily setting one thing as the default is just as bad as setting another.
We have a few different frontends available on feddit.uk, you can easily tell a new user that there are different ways of viewing the same content and to pick their favourite
But it’s all public, right? You can’t block people from seeing stuff you post publicly.
What setup do you have that actually sets a dark background everywhere? In my experience there are always plenty of programs and web pages that stay white.
For example, Bluesky. They have an open protocol and (I think) you can easily transfer data between instances. If they start fucking people around, you can just jump to another ATProto app.
I’ve never touched bluesky but everyone on Lemmy seems to be constantly saying that there are no other instances
Where’s the Linux? Is this “Windows Bad” memes?
Saw one earlier today where the “community support” person opened with “please make sure you have applied all Windows updates”. Given that it was a web page issue and I was on my phone I didn’t mark this reply as helpful.
Yes, by buying it second hand!
Is it not a lemming?
I’ve got a different model but as others have said the linux-surface kernel is key, and their GitHub page has detailed compatibility info and installation instructions. I picked Fedora having never used it before because it was well-supported and I’ve got no complaints.
More critical than distro is desktop environment. A few people were recommending Gnome but they must be a bit out of date now as I didn’t have a great experience; incompatible extensions, missing gestures, and generally a worse feel than Windows! I’ve just installed KDE Plasma Mobile and it’s great, feels more like Android and has way more features.
The linux-surface installation instructions will walk you through this, but I’d just download the Fedora Plasma Mobile spin, put it on a USB drive, boot it to check you like it (though expect that a few things might not work properly until you install the linux-surface kernel), install it (you can dual-boot with Windows if you think you might need it or just replace the whole OS if you’re concerned about space), and then install the kernel.
Happy to try and answer any more questions about installing!
They’ve not even said what’s wrong with the batteries though (have they?)
Actually a pretty interesting read about how lithium battery technology works. The big unanswered question is still why is any of this necessary?, but I’ve been interested in Android long enough not to expect answers from Google.
I know all phones basically look the same nowadays, but those pics really did remind me of this classic
