Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.
What can we do?

Why do we want more users? Because lemmy is insufferable. Im here, like many others, waiting for an alternative to reddit and hoping im already there.
No we dont need gatekeeping based on a users understanding federated servers. We need more people so the smaller communities actually have posts and we dont need to scroll the dumpster fire that is "everything".
Have you tried https://piefed.social/ ? Compatible with Lemmy (allows you to import your subscriptions list actually) and with a different approach: https://join.piefed.social/blog/
I dont know what you are talking about. What subscriptions am i adding to where?
The communities you are subscribed too, which show up in your Subscribed feed.
Those can be imported into Piefed, maybe the transition easier.
The transition to what? Why am i using piefed?
You mentioned that Lemmy was insufferable, so I offered an alternative.
Isnt that a lemmy clone though? If the userbase is the problem why would a new interface help?
