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

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