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?

Well whoever wrote that post in the OP clearly hasn’t explored too much yet.
Even beyond that, though, there are styles, they are modern and clean, and people are already making apps and extensions anyway. This seems like a pretty low effort bar to pass.
