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

What can we do?

    What’s most annoying is that for 95% of users, federation doesn’t even matter. You just log on and use lemmy exactly like reddit. All feds are consolidated onto my front page anyway.

    People make a big deal about it, it definitely intimidated me when I first logged up. It’s one of the reasons I put off getting into lemmy for such a long time, and it’s frustrating that in the end, it really makes no difference.

      All is not consolidated, though. “All” is your local feed plus what is subscribed to by users on your instance. It isn’t everything by default, afaik.

      It makes a difference if you signed up for the only instance early on, and now everyone assumes you’re a tankie.
