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

What can we do?

    I can’t speak for other people, but if lemme.world were to shut down today I’d just pick another server.

    I will admit, it was confusing and almost turned me off at first. I was very upset about the whole deal with third party apps on Reddit. My daughter gave me the whole email analogy and it cleared my hesitation to join Lemmy.

    I don’t know how it is today, but I had to apply to join world when I first got on. It would be awesome if an app would sign a person up for, say, three different servers and sync settings between them. Something goes down, wouldn’t even notice.

    Assholes ruin everything though and making it easier for bot accounts to exist would end badly.

    I don’t know.

    When I first got on here it was a mess. It didn’t work half the time and when it did no content was being generated. I stuck it out though and I’m glad I did.

    I’m definitely not the right person to come up with any solutions.
