We all talk about better, modern frontent but honestly, simpler HTML version can also be great (lemmy.ml)

It's not that the current UI is bloated or anything. That's very far from being true. But basic HTML version can also be great like DDG HTML

The Libreddit frontend is completely JavaScript free, so that kinda layout could definitely work for Reddit alternatives. I haven't really looked at the Lemmy source code yet, but I'd assume it would still take a decent amount of engineering effort to also add a feature to serve up HTML-only pages.

I think that was the goal behind the Lemmy-Lite frontend although it's not being actively maintained sadly. but yeah, it can be done!

HTML is so underrated.
