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?

    Someone didn’t grow up during the days of forums.

    But as a designer, I understand where they’re coming from. Especially if they were using the new reddit design on the web and Apollo on mobile. At the very least though, I think Lemmy’s default UI looks much better than old.reddit (and I say that as someone who still uses old.reddit).
