Wait which frontends don't need that monster?

Basic Lemmy works without JS. Some stuff breaks, but it's still usable.

Can't vote or comment without JS

They say: "Javascript is disabled. Actions will not work"

Some stuff breaks, but it’s still usable.

You can see posts, thus it's usable.

That's more like "almost but not completely all of the stuff breaks".

Web applications need JavaScript.

Web sites do not; the static web technologies allow effectively any styling, and browsing any content your browser can handle, and HTML forms work fine. In any case, many people who need to access the web site can't run modern JavaScript. So it should work without that.

There may be special dynamic enhancements that require JavaScript, but the site should do its core job flawlessly, without any JavaScript.
