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

What can we do?

        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.

            Do we? I was never asked.

            The community as it is right now, feels like the early days of Reddit and Slashdot. I really don’t mind that slight speed bump.

              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.
