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

What can we do?

    Agree. It’s not about being smug or entitled or whatever. Getting a simple lemmy client on your phone and signing up for the most basic instances takes literally 5 minutes of reading tops. And that’s for non tech savvy readers. If you can’t put 5 minutes of effort into an online discussion forum setup, then how can you be expected to put even 5 minutes of effort into a discussion post or in reading an article before commenting?

    It’s a natural filter indeed. And a good one at that. Keep the short attention spanners who need tiktok level ease of use on reddit.
