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 love the simplified interface. I do wish I could have a ‘Front Page’ view that creates an equivalent Community of all my subscriptions.
Isn’t that just switching the feed to “subscribed”?
Yeah that’s all it does. It doesn’t actually create the equivalent of Reddit’s Front Page.
Good news, you can. Go to settings and scroll down to “Type”. Change that to “Subscribed”. That’ll set your default view to the communities you’ve subscribed to.
