Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.
What can we do?
Do you really want mass appeal right now? Just be patient, build good information and ppl will come
We already have good information, the barrier to entry just needs to be lowered
I respectfully disagree. Reddit went downhill and became significantly more difficult to manage/moderate when the masses joined.
If people aren’t willing to invest a bit of time to understand how Lemmy works (and it’s really not that difficult to understand), then I don’t think Lemmy is a good fit for them.
Having a barrier to entry just filters out non tech savvy people, and creates a bubble.
We want all kinds of people on Lemmy, not just tech savvy people.
To my knowledge we don’t want to filter out non tech savvy people. If that’s what we want then cool, leave it as is.
But I don’t think that’s true, especially not for all instances.
