Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy

I'll be ditching reddit completely after 16th of April. Till then I'm slowly doing my migration. Lemmy is awesome.

If you mention Lemmy, point someone towards a specific instance so it's not so much of a shock. Then they can slowly learn about what it is.

Why April 16th?

Read only instance would put them off too. The best solution, IMO:
- create a pool of instances that will act as the default ones
- when creating an account, create it on one of the instances, redirect the user there
- add an option to migrate an account to a different instance in case the user wants to choose a different one after a month or so
-
After that my premium expires. Also I'm suspend indefinitely.
-
Yeah you can browse an instance without being logged in, so that would be possible.

And? We want all kinds of people on Lemmy not just 'skilled' people

Sadly you're probably right. It would be nice if there were some load balancing mechanism where restrigrations could be shut for the larger instances where it recognises that it's grown much larger than the rest, and recommend altnerative instances.

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Ah, The Great Filter of Lemmy, yes.
-
I think a good solution would be to randomly send people to one of the top 5 instances that aren't very political (What ever that might be)
