The reason I dislike this comment is it characterizes the work of many different people as "don't care." I would bet money that there are people who work on fediverse projects who care very deeply about UX but have to settle because they have day jobs.

    The UI's aren't that bad. They're replicating existing apps/styles and then bolting on features. In some clases like immich, they're replicating them so closely they're probably open for lawsuit :)

    Loops is 75% TikToc. Lemmy is 60% Reddit.

    If we had a couple of UI artists and Usability people join the projects and crank out designs, I wonder if the devs would implement them and spend the time making the output true to the design.

    I only used sync on reddit and that's all I use on lemmy, tried many of the others and they're good but not perfect, for both the closed source and open source projects
