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?

    Yeah, Lemmy is still a bit rough around the edges in a lot of ways. I hope the surge in users brings some frontend devs over.

    The new apps should help a lot, but it’s still a bit of a pain to use on PC. I also have issues with the feed just going wild and poping in new posts so fast I can’t read anything on the web.

    Lemmy needs work, but I’m not here for the design. I’m here to wrestle control away from corporations. Anyone that doesn’t understand that is a bot.

      Oh yeah I saw that last night too. Lemmy is relatively new, and will get better in time. I’m excited for sync to be released. Slide might get re-purposed for lemmy too.
