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

What can we do?

    So is a large part of lemmy.world cached on sh.itjust.works’ server? Does Pixelfed, Loops or Peertube work the same way? I could see images or video being more of a burden to serve like that. Or does AP sync the metadata like thumbnail, video title, description, comments etc. and the video itself is torrented straight from the host server?

      Pretty much, yes. Images is cached. Video is not. However PeerTube supports P2P.
