it was better. We will continue to make improvements to this UI. The old one was completely custom (and made by people with much better sense of design and performance than lemmy tbqh) but the people that wrote it are long gone and the API that it used has changed a lot, etc. so we are now back to a (still modified) version of lemmy's frontend UI.
My understanding is it was mostly burnout from the people developing the fork being the same people modding/admining the site. Especially considering how contentious every struggle session was back then and the sheer number of unhinged wreckers.
