Do people actually like all of the overdesigned clutter to the point where it makes them not want to switch sites?

To me, the stripped down clarity on Lemmy is a feature. I remember back in the day when people flocked to Facebook from MySpace, in large part because they were sick of eye gouging customized pages and just wanted a simple, consistent interface. The content, not the buttons to click on it are the draw right?

      Jerboa is good, throws some errors sometimes, but that’s probably because of the huge influx of members

        Jerboa is good. Thunder is ok. But for me, nothing beats mobile web. Install it as a PWA via Native Alpha (or Firefox). It’s clean, bug free, and I get the same exact experience on my Android and iPhone.

      Jerboa is the way to go. Many other apps are in development for Lemmy as well. Sync, thunderbolt, lemmur revival, and plenty others I’ve seen. Jerboa is the best working one atm.

      I’m using Jerboa* (android, idk if it’s on iOS). It definitely has some quirks but overall it has been a decent enough experience!

            slightly better experience than the website. i am used to red reader. i guess by time it will be better. i am pretty happy with this already. migration on this scale…

              ahh, I never used red reader. Seems like there’s a fairly active community for third party apps, so I hope they improve too!
