It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media. Reddit has many issues, but lack of women is not one of them.

I have a question: for those of us who aren't tech-savvy, is there a way to get away from the Material Design UI? As a designer, I absolutely hate it! I tried playing around with the settings but it still looks too Google-ish for me. I find it boring, rigid, and oldfashioned. When I open the app, I don't feel 'excited' to browse through the app. I want to feel compelled into clicking a button, upvoting/downvoting, sending a reply comment, and so on. I think if the UI was made to look more fun, it would attract a lot more users. Part of the experience of an app is the appearance and interactivity.

    Thank you for the suggestion :) it wasn't really my style, so I looked up some others, and I found Photon. I love it! It has the clean and modern UI that I was looking for. The only minor downfall is that it's a progressive web-app.
