Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy

From everyone looking in: what the fuck is, ok, was Hexbear, why should I care and wtf can't I read anything from that place.
Same with registration, instances, etc. It's explained nowhere where how and why and i never have found a complete index with instances and communities.
I only can use lemmy because of sync. Yes, I'm also a reddit refugee.

phtn.app client is amazing. looks modern and beautiful.
Can recommend

Leave the micropenis guys alone, it's already a shit card to be dealt.
-
Maybe. But Lemmy isn't close to that volume of users yet
-
Like I said you're welcome to make pull requests. Lemmy is not a corporation employing multiple designers, but an open source project run by volunteers. So if you want to see something done, it's best to do it yourself.

I picked world cuz it was by far the biggest at the time

This is basically the solution. Just give a few words to explain that different servers can have some rules differences and offer the easy join button.
Get people onboarded fast and easy! If they want to, they can learn more afterwards.

I guess so. Every Lemmy app I've used also offers similar views.

Pre-emptive defederation

Well, one of the reasons why I used 3rd party apps to begin with was because the mobile Reddit app was an unoptimized buggy mess for me, which often overheated my phone.
-
I agree with you, but at the same time if there aren't enough users, small and niche sublemmys will never grow and have enough content to be interesting.
-
I miss those times when you actually had to learn a lot of things before being able to write stuff on the internet.
-
That's easily fixable by using a third-party app such as Voyager (or on the web on wefwef.app)
-
If you're not a native English speaker, you could try joining an instance that speaks your language, for example.
-
Doing a 1/1 recreation of niche communities from reddit is a fools errand. Let communities develop on their own, or even better, simply federate existing communities.
