Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.
What can we do?
Back in the day of AOL people had to pick what chat room they were going to use and then switch if it sucked. I think people that want to be here will make their way here over time.
I wonder what ever happened to Absolut1709...
Sure but we should still improve UX
The UX the way it currently is filters out non tech savvy people, so we mostly end up with tech savvy people here.
The fact these people think asking to which server you want to join is a hurdle says a lot
I thought it was a hurdle, but I'm here.
I left the first time though because I couldn't decide, even though I knew of and believed in the benefits of decentralization.
Even now I sometimes think the instance I joined was a mistake and have anxiety about choosing a new one and also about moving to it.
