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

What can we do?

    I’m a student and don’t know anyone who doesn’t use Gmail here… Guess that’s the result of Google dominating education.

      At what level? I get a student email from my college (outlook based) as do the professors, though communication is primarily through Canvas. So that’s what I see most often in that context.

      I think a lot of people have Gmail incidentally for things like YouTube and other Google account stuff, very few people know you can even bring your own mail.
