Lemmy vs Mbin vs PieFed

Honestly, choosing whether to default to dark or light is pretty arbitrary, and pointless once the user sets a preference on login anyway. I'm not sure if there's a reason you can't default to OS/browser preference on a logged out user, but also don't think it's a big deal. Plus highlighting a "what is this app" tile makes more sense on the logged-out default, so there's that as well.
Which is not to say that you're wrong on the larger point. FOSS devs having the attitude that the UI is a secondary concern or wildly misrepresenting the ability of users to deal with friction or bad looks is an ongoing frustration. I guess engineers are more likely to attempt FOSS projects than UX designers.

What the fuck is “Magazines”
This but unironically. I could never get over it with Kbin and still can't with Mbin. It's a bad name for a community/sub and I'll die on that hill. You can never get me to call a meme shitpost an "article" in a "magazine".

I use an UBlock Origin filter to hide posts I either vote up or down
Would you maybe share your filter as a separate post? Seems handy

The Tesseract front end is just completely superior for moderation imo. It took me a little bit of getting used to, but it is clean

I wish there were more Mbin apps
