Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy

Yes, that would be a good addition to the Lemmy ecosystem.
What I'm saying is, you can't agree that we should help them avoid extremist instances AND say that the instance doesn't matter.

Is it really a "bad" experience?
A "bad" experience is something like applying for a job online, submitting your resume, then manually entering all the information that's already on your resume into a thousand little boxes. A "bad" experience is trying to unsubscribe from a service that relies on the pain of that unsubscribe process keeping people paying every month.
Having to choose a server is at most a speed bump. Is it a "bad" experience to choose an email provider?
If that mild speed bump is keeping people from joining, that's fine. If someone cared enough to make some kind of a GUI that hand-held people through the process of choosing a server, that's fine too.
IMO, if we're talking bad experiences, ads on Reddit that are designed to look like posts, that's a bad experience. Ads that are designed to look like comments, that's a bad experience. And, the feature coming soon of communities locked behind a paywall, that's a really bad experience.

UI =/= UX, and UX is what the comment on the post was about

Everyone has heard of fire, water and grass, sure. Do they have any idea what that means in the Pokemon universe? I certainly hadn't.
Not everyone is gonna immediately know what an instance is, or what it does, or what it's there for
You know how you might use gmail and your friend might use outlook and you can just email no problem? Like that.

None of them really explained the user experience, and how different instances might affect it, let alone the existence of the local and global feeds and how your instance choice affects those
I almost never use the local feeds. Technically my instance choice does affect them, but I could switch to any other random Lemmy instance and the experience would be 99.99% the same for me.
To me it's not forks vs. chopsticks, it's someone looking at a fork with 3 tines instead of 4 and getting paralyzed not being able to decide between the two.

So you, a normal person, join and instantly when a meme or comment allude to being altruistic, you leave?
Lol, the lack of self-awareness in your comment is astounding. You immediately jumped to interpreting them in the least charitable way possible, instead of just asking them to clarify like a normal person. You are exactly the type of leftist that pushes a lot of people away from using Lemmy.
Who needs conservative saboteurs when you have leftists to do their work for them?

Who volunteers to fix it?

Bad UX made it hard for me to even make an account here lol, and I’m someone that has been promoting Lemmy for weeks. I think making the sign up process as easy as possible is how to do it. I’m still annoyed at how dumb it was trying to get on this site even.

The average person is going to have no idea what "federated" means. They'll probably assume it has something to do with the federal gov.
-
Is this a poll result or an opinion? Because I like the Lemmy UX a lot better than reddit.
-
Oh cool, no one cares

In the U.S.? Yes, absolutely.

I disagree. I just found a link to lemmy.world, with no idea of how lemmy worked, and I'm perfectly happy. People's complaints about servers seem to come down to personal issues.
