I hate Material U design. It is really like the Superflat design for 2020s with rounded corners and it looks really tedious.

I'm not gonna lie I miss skeumprphism from the 2000's, I know a lot of people thought it was tacky but it had more character than this flat, low-effort boring shit. This new flat stuff from the mid-2010's makes it look like these companies got halfway through product design and quit.

Na, there is a nice middle ground. I would rather have flat over the Skeumorphism if I had to pick between the two though. I thought it was hideous then, and I think it still is now lol.

Word.

Btw is there another Android app for Lemmy other than Jerboa? It feels like one of the biggest victim of the Material You template's drawbacks.

[–] PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Liftoff has a good UI but doesn't do federation as well as jerboa, not by a long shot.

Connect for Lemmy is a good Sync clone until the official Sync app releases

[–] varjen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

There's the webapp wefwef.app that seem very popular. I'm currently using Connect for Lemmy and it seems to work pretty well. I found a list of clients somewhere that I was planning to go through but that browser tab seems to have been eaten by the Wumpus (not the discord one).

There are less Android clients than iPhone clients? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔That doesn't 🤔🤔🤔seem correct.

But 1.4M (active?) users since the twitter "exodus" doesn't seem bad. That probably means ~2M joined and 1M stayed.

Mastodon is just so empty as a platform. I hope for its success but I am not seeing it at this point the way we are with Lemmy.
