I think this is going to be unpopular :(

I've migrated from Reddit. Loving Lemmy so far, but having tried with each of the various frontends available, I still find it hard to relate to. Is there anybody out there who could create a stylemonkey whatchamahuji like 'Reddit Enhancement Suite'? I would if I could, but I am not good at such things.
You may want to be a little clearer. Are you after a mix of the old style Reddit interface alongside what RES added?
If so I can't remember what RES added, but I gather it's enough that the old style frontend may still feel lacking and the others aren't scratching that itch either.

Voyager can be run in windows as a webapp - you can try it at https://vger.app/posts/lemm.ee/all, or even run it locally in a docker container with no dev knowledge needed

I wouldnât put docker in front of a nontechnical person. It was a stretch to convince my dad to watch movies on my Jellyfin server because he would be âconnecting to another systemâ which he found concerning. I canât imagine beginning to explain docker or how to use it to someone who just wants to download and use an app.
Not to say OP canât figure it out or isnât technical enough, but I would just hesitate to suggest docker as a beginner-friendly âno dev knowledgeâ solution.

That's fair enough. I've gotten a number of non-devs hooked on docker containers for running self-hosted apps that didn't have a desktop counterpart, but admittedly they were otherwise technically oriented. OP might want to look into it if they're so inclined, but it's easiest to just use Voyager from the website

It took me like a month before I was comfortable working with them on my server, but once I finally started figuring it out, I doubt Iâll ever run another server without it haha. All hail docker!

There's nothing for Lemmy that I know of, but in the beginning of the first migration from Reddit there was such a thing being worked on by various people for Kbin. Kbin unfortunately is broken for a while now due to the developer's health issues, but there was a fork made called Mbin. And the good news is that the extensions for Kbin seem to work for the most part with Mbin via ViolentMonkey. I can't recall if I had to do much of anything to tweak it. I don't know if there's been any work since then, only that it still works for me now.
I looked back to find something to recommend to research, but short of using VM and searching for scripts to use with a Mbin site (like fedia.io) I'm not sure.

I use Sync as I really enjoyed the reddit version. It just feels comfortable for me to use.

Welcome to Lemmy, in six months you'll be running Linux, lol.

Boost for Lemmy is also incredibly similar to the old experience. That may work for you?
Design choices are never universal, people have different tastes so anyone who shits on you for your UI preferences is just an asshole. We all like habits and form strong preferences about what we're using.
Boost is the best frontend app for IMO.
