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

What can we do?

    So my understanding from reading this (and other threads on Lemmy) is that:

    -A majority of Lemmy users would rather the userbase remained small (in comparison to corporate social media and even compared to Mastodon).

    -And a small but vocal minority wants to grow Lemmy to the point of being at least one of the choices, if not the de facto preferred alternative, on the mind of most Redditors who are sick of Reddit.

    Is that accurate?

      The majority wants better UX (look at up vote ratio of comments)

      A fair amount of users want to gatekeep lemmy to only tech savvy people.

      There’s a lot of us who just want better on boarding and defaults, it’s not a lot to ask.
