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

What can we do?

    I assumed (probably incorrectly) that users would be visiting Lemmy via apps, so the UX would depend on which app they used.

    I don’t know. I have a soft spot for Lemmy. The interactions here seem more genuine less about updoots.

      Having to choose a server and it influencing what content you can see if the biggest UX issue, not the availability of apps.

        Ah, I see what you’re saying. Under normal circumstances, I would suggest to new users to signup on the “flagship instance”, but in Lemmy’s case… nah.

        To be perfectly honest, I’m not certain what content I’m not seeing because, well, I haven’t seen it 😅. Some instances seem to do a good job of only blocking content from notoriously bad sources.
