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

What can we do?

    Lemmy only really became usable for me after I blocked certain instances/communities. Tbh if I wasn’t permabanned from Reddit I probably would have quit early on and went back to Reddit.

    This wasn’t because of UX. It’s was because some of the most active and highly upvoted instances that had posts hit All constantly were full of terrible people and idiots.

    However now that I realize how powerful that is to be able to block whole instances and curate your experience and realize that it’s basically impossible to Permaban someone from Lemmy, I’m enjoying it a lot more.
