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 definitely miss Reddit’s stylesheets. Giving mods control over the page’s CSS was just really neat. Everything had an individual flair
Lol did people use reddit without turning off sub specific stylesheets?!
I left them on if they supported dark mode.
Lemmy defaults to dark mode. Praise be to Lemmy.

Let’s not kid ourselves, some subs were awful. Few like mildly infuriating actually were creative with it and added to the experience. Others were crimes against design. I disabled them with RES globally and only activated a few select ones. Too many mods thought that red text over black background was a good idea. Then there were those who had a highlight effect on the selected comment and made the white text unreadable. Design is a Art.
Yea I had it set to never use custom CSS, imo was much better that way.
Yeah there are a few requests on the lemmy GitHub for flairs
