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

What can we do?

    I think that’s more of a feature, not a bug. It means if one group is doing a shitty job of running their community, it’s easier to find another group of the same nature. I’ve noticed a lot of communities on .world are run a lot like the most popular subreddits where moderation of posts is highly aggressive, and seems aimed more at curating “high quality content” than actually being a community. Okay, easy enough, I just start posting to similar places on other instances, or start my own.
