Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.

What can we do?

    The UI is fine, you can use Photon or other modern UI’s

    The UX is the problem (User Experience), the defaults just suck and many will give up before even knowing better UI’s exist, or finding the right settings to make the default UI work for them.

    Just picking a instance is intimidating and many will give up before that, we should guide them to pick an instance or choose a default and give them the option to change.

      Isn’t that what most people are doing nowadays?
