Xfce is highly customizable (definitely more than gnome) and can look modern with a little theming. Its also much easier to replace components of the de (like the xfce wm or app launcher for example)

i think this is bring worked on, but in the meantime, you can still transfer subscribed communities with lemmy migrate

I meant just changing the icon pack and panel theme which is not that difficult and some people may be fine with the default. Not saying gnome or kde are worse, just that xfce is not as bad as you think it is :)

I see void I upvote 😁

I ran the speedometer 2.0 benchmark on firefox and cromite (fork of bromite), and Firefox beat chrome by like 20 points which surprised me because chrome still feels a bit faster. Maybe this is why

Yeah that would be ideal. That way if one instance is temporarily down you could still use your account.

Works for me even after restarting ff

How does it compare to librewolf?
