Better Lemmy UI - Stylus CSS
IMO, the default Lemmy style is ridiculous on desktop (especially widescreen). I saw a few posts on other servers with some Stylus CSS changes and they were a good start. I made a few changes to get rid of some of the crazy font sizes, padding/margin, and width.

Hopefully this makes things more bearable for a few people. (If you use dark mode, just delete lines 10, 11, and 12.)
Welp, I think it's pretty clear Lemmy is not ready for primetime. The number of new bugs filed vs. the number of people working on the project, doesn't inspire much hope for things like this particular issue. And the fact that all instances combined still have fewer people online right now than some of the average size subreddits, means people don't really give a shit about the API change. In the end, Lemmy might get a nice little bump, but Reddit isn't going anywhere.
I'll definitely keep an eye on Lemmy for the future, but it's not going to replace anything for me.
New posts flood page when "Top Day - All" selected
This is turning into a deal breaker for me. It doesn't matter what instance I'm on, or what I have selected from the dropdown (or browser I'm using), but "new" posts are constantly flooding the feed list.
First, new posts shouldn't even show if I specifically select a different view. Second, they flood things so fast I can't even click on the things I'm interested in. If I look away from the page for 30 seconds it's just junk.
I've had two other people tell me they are seeing the same thing. Tested on MacOS and Windows. Chrome/Brave/Firefox/Safari.
Anyone have a fix?
"Top" sorts by comments with the most upvotes. "Hot" are new comments that are receiving upvotes quickly (at least on Reddit).
Always sort comments by top?
Maybe I'm blind, but is there a setting to change the default sort method for comments? It always defaults to "hot" and I want to default to "top". It's kind of annoying to have to click "top" every single time I open a comment section.
Honestly it'll probably be closer to 99.999% of users will stick around Reddit. The largest Lemmy instance is smaller than the smallest subreddit I follow and I suspect that's probably the case for most people.
Here's what will happen... Reddit blackout starts, people come to Lemmy, 8 out of 10 are confused by the way things work and bail instantly. 2 out of 10 might stick around, try to sign up, but everyone hammers the top 3-4 instances and they have a bad first impression. A few days later everyone is back at Reddit and Lemmy is right back where it was a month ago.
I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt I will be.
Nope, but I do use tags to group people. "Family", "Close Friends", "Coworkers", etc. Does Lemmy have something like this? Like the OP, I don't want to dig through 20 instances to find the "best". Just show them all in one dump. The "winner take all" style won't appeal to the masses at all.
