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 do use Lemmy because the whole thing with Reddit just sucked, but holy hell yeah, new Reddit looked so much better. It’s not the world, I can get used to it and it’s fine, but the preference is clear.
What did you like about it? Apart from some rounded corners and extra spacing, I think they made it a lot worse. My least favorite things about it are the nag screen to use the app, the “tap to read replies” button, and the fact that I can’t always tell where the thread ends and the “other stuff you might like” section starts.

new reddit is garbage.
Reddit is ridiculously slow in the last several years. When I click CMD+F to start search I need to wait several seconds because of all the JavaScript running.
