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

What can we do?

    The average user will go to join Lemmy and abort, because they can’t grasp the idea that joining one server gets them into other servers. They worry about server selection, have analysis paralysis, and nope out. That’s why they’re asking for a bluesky reddit and not a mastodon reddit.

    Normie’s want centralization because they don’t understand how else it can work and while some can learn and have it explained many will give up before giving it a chance.

      That’s about how it worked for me when I first tried giving it a go about a year ago. Wasn’t until today when I saw that Reddit post talking about paywalling some subs that I decided to give it another go.

      In fact that post had a pretty decent write up of how to set up Lemmy and what it was. Probably the only reason I managed to kinda figure it out.
