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

What can we do?

      Not necessarily. That’s just what I did.
      The point is, they aren’t making a permanent decision. They can switch or move at any time for any reason.

        Yeah but you have to see it through the normal-user eyes, for them just creating a new account is a whole ordeal, then they see that ordeal makes them investigate the server before picking and then it turns out they picked wrong… For them that’s that and they delete the app (never deleting the account, mind you), branding the whole lemmy experience under whatever server they picked first.

        If there was some sort of… Quiz? That could help them pick… But a brutally honest one, since some instances have pretty extremists opinions, new users have to know what they are dealing with.
