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

What can we do?

    Exactly. If this minimal effort is keeping people out - GOOD. If you can’t put the bare minimum effort in, then you’ll just be another mindless TikTok type person and we really don’t need those.

      A counterargument to this is that a lot of people (who would put in the minimal effort) don’t come here instead of Reddit because their niche community isn’t represented well. So while it’s nice to have higher effort/engagement members, you can’t possibly cover all of what most people want to see without a lot of those.
