Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
-
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.

Once upon a time Reddit used to be just a single subreddit. And it was fine. Lemmy already has enough users for separate subreddits to be actually kinda viable, even if they are not too active.
We'll be fine.

Could there be an option for a sorting hat that could either: look at the redditor's post history and determine a good server for them or simply spin the wheel. Either way would get the lazies shit posting without them having to learn anything about fediverse. I know I would have just spun the wheel.

Reddit ux is also ass. Only difference between reddit and lemmy is that the federation bit is extremely confusing and not intuitive.
