Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
-
We already have good information, the barrier to entry just needs to be lowered

That's how you create a bubble of only tech savvy people.

It's on a Bluesky community, there's a serious bias in those votes

https://old.lemmy.world/ looks just like reddit. It's not the UI. It's network effect and there's not a lot to be done.

I disagree. I'm an ex tech guy, and I found it to be a pain in the ass. I really appreciate everything that everyone here does, but it's empty enough that I recognize a number of users. The average person isn't signing up. At 50k active users, our voice is small.
I don't know what the grand vision is, but if it's to provide the people with a corporate free perform, there needs to be... The People.

Not many I'm assuming. I like pointing people to Voyager because it's both on android and apple, and it has a very smooth UX, you can install and start scrolling
My message is often something like

Checkout Lemmy, it's a solid reddit alternative.

Be careful that IIRC Reddit blocked the phtn URL and would automatically remove comments mentioning it.
Not sure if it's still the case now, but just a warning.

The vast majority of users don't like the old.reddit view, else reddit would have that as default.

Thank you I appreciate all the input, I won't have the time or energy to drive something like that.
I can get behind a cause like that and help push it, but won't be able to lead.I'd love a place where there is no politics, it might also be appealing to many and I think it should be the default.
