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 belive that Lemmy can be run headless so it might be simpler than it looks.

    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!
