Tried boost for reddit but I didn't like the ui and it seems like they've still got the same ui on the Lemmy version

The current Lemmy version is very customizable. I think it has seven basic types of views, which are further customizable how you like. You can kinda make it look like whatever you want.

As in the other comment... You can change all types of UI settings.

Layout, fonts, title font colors, comment font colors, etc.

Honestly, so much available, it's actually a little overwhelming for me.

Indeed. Actually more choices than I can even deal with... yet, great!

I've been using boost for the past year, and I just switched to Summit last week. Recommend trying it out.

Why? Be specific?

Boost has anything I can think of and it's a one man show. I like to support him.

Apparently I can't have separate up/downvote counts and that vexes me

If that count bothers you, I suggest you stop giving a fuck about "vote" counts. They're utterly meaningless in Lemmy/ Fediverse.

Don't tell me what I can get vexed by.

Boo hoo.

Wow so you're a real asshole huh

So, where exactly in the Summit app can you have the setting to show BOTH up/down votes?

I can't find it.

I found it: "Detailed View".

There are around 10% more settings. I really like the ones "Automatically save drafts" and "Separate up and down votes"

I'm taking a look.

I tried it for 2 days. Has some interesting features.

However, I definitely prefer being able to control the color spectrum of the fonts in the Title, Comments and Instance.

Makes the flow much easier to identify each section. And the colors I use are less stress on the eyes.
