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

What can we do?

    For that side of reddit, you’re right.

    But for the uniquely useful side of reddit, federation won’t help. If I post a question like “how do I get this obscure game to run well on this obscure Linux distro?”, nobody is going to repost that for me, and if I don’t maximize the amount of eyeballs on it, it’s unlikely I’ll get an answer. My best choice is to post it on reddit, either in /r/linux_gaming or in the specific game’s subreddit.

    I assume that most users who post anything at all on reddit do it to ask questions like that.
