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

What can we do?

    An improved version of old reddit with a good mobile view, which old reddit lacks.

      That’s UI. What they’re talking about is the barrier to entry for new users, which falls under User eXperience

        I don’t really get that either. New users are immediately presented with posts and communities they can interact with, and all of the functions are familiar to anyone who has used reddit or forums. The interface is straightforward and uncluttered, as far as what that contributes to the user experience. Also I have never found federation confusing.

        I guess OP is talking about the attitude of personality of lemmy members and I don’t agree with that, either. The 2-3 people on reddit quoted in the post are clueless and there’s no indication they represent a significant and amount of people’s perceptions. “Endless wars about federation” - what? There was controversy for like 1 week several months ago.
