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.
Years ago I did a UX study on Lemmy's frontend, and tbh not much has changed since. Things like when editing a thread, the Save button is multiple proximity separators apart from the text you're editing, making it very easy to missclick cancel. Or in the community search, you can't search on specific instances that aren't yours.
I've gotten very used to the UI over time but it definitely needs a "pain point" passover
I always use an app so I barely interact with the web ui
Same here for 99% of the time, Sync for Lemmy is how I see and prefer this type of site.
