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?
I like the deisgn and layout of Lemmy a lot. It reminds me a lot of old.reddit.com
Yeah, as a diehard old.reddit and non-app user, the design here has been very easy for me to adapt to
