Pleroma has a very interesting attitude - it divides things into Back End, and Front End.
There's Two separate development teams, one for each area. Their work interconnects, but people stay where their expertise is.
There are various options of Front Ends, which any user can choose from, in a Pleroma instance -- they can use Mastodon Front End (FE for short), which is actually even BETTER than vanilla masto instances -- as it's Glitch Soc based.
Or they can use Pleroma FE, or the Best one (I haven't tried) that @a1batross has at his instance.
Pleroma FE here : https://expired.mentality.rip/main/all
Mastodon FE here : https://expired.mentality.rip/web
Bloat FE here : https://bloated.mentality.rip/
If I was typing this comment there, I could use Bold, Italic, Bulleted list, and more MarkDown formatting with ease.

Yes, I have used Halcyon, and the nicer Pinafore, which I like best of those FE options --- the Mastodo UI is very slow in comparison.
Pinafore dropped in my love since I have been using extreme AWI implementations - the full screen area is allocated to content, but not as Eugen prescribes.
I proposed and showed some ideas, but he's got too much on his plate, and this is not a concern for him.
I had planned to create Blog posts on comparing those, and located various instances of Pinafore to list too -- as the only thing better than one Pinafore client is various one, running in other tabs; one in each of those hosts, so you have Pina Todon, Pinafore.social, and others.
BUT... AWI is essential for me, and Pina's author won't go for multiple display columns, I proposed.

By the way mastodon has multiple front ends as well. For example there is halcyon if you want a twitter-like front end (we used to run a halcyon front end here)
