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

What can we do?

    I think we should have a Lemmy landing page, that should help you choose a instance.

    Ask you to select a few topics you’re interested in, if you want to see political content and/or NSFW content.

    And then make a suggestion (randomly from one of a few fitting instances)

    Once a user gets used to the platform they can always switch

      Easily switching is the real hurdle, because there are a massive number of reasons that someone would want to switch. For example I started on kbin and switched when the instance died.
