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

What can we do?

    Well ot kinda was true for the time of the big reddit exodus, there were very active and massively upvoted threads about one instance defederating from another, instances debating on whether they should defederate, beehive publicly wondering whether to ditch lemmy etc

      Indeed, but by now everything seems more or less stable.

      There might be a future event when instances decide to defederate lemmy.ml, making effective that there is actually two large spheres in Lemmy

      • .ml, lemmygrad, hexbear (whatever their future name is)
      • LW, SJW, feddit.org, Blahaj, lemmy.zip, sopuli, discuss.online etc.

      Some instances want to stay connected to both (lemm.ee, lemmy.today, SDF), but they’re not that many
