Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.
What can we do?
Very good thoughts. A curated list of instances would be really helpful. But who should have the authority?
Also very true about what you say concerning the special interest posts showing up on “All”. I use “All” also a lot more than I used to on reddit, just to see enough posts to satisfy my social media needs. Topics come and go and I guess many people don’t really subscribe to the groups so communities never grow. I hope things will improve and actually a couple of weeks ago I thought they had because there seemed to be a big influx of new users. Now I am not so sure anymore though.
