Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy

This exactly. Once I dove in and stopped reading, it oddly made more sense to me.

Jerboa is awesome, and it's come a very long way in a really short timespan.
-
There are people who don't realize that reddit is a website. Stew on that for a minute.

Very well said! -
Somebody will have to host that. Whether it's a Lemmy app developer, or baked into the Lemmy codebase itself.

Multi-reddits on Lemmy!

I just wish you had recourse for false (or maybe even correct, but heavy handed) bans, and it's still the largest gathering place for many communities - retro games, queer communities, other adult interest (not just pornography) spaces, local events/happenings, so it's really terrible to just be completely shut out of all of that. Whether voluntarily or not. (In my case not.)

I think Lemmy needs a higher-level sign-up procedure that hides the complexity of the fediverse. This could be a webpage with a simple, clutter-free interface that handles picking and registering on an instance from a curated list semi-automatically, for example, by asking you 3-4 questions before giving you a suggested server that fits your responses (that you can change) with a button to register right away (and handle the occasional additional sign-up requirements that some instances have).
IMHO, 90% of users will never interact with the "federation" aspects of Lemmy after that, and they also don't need to. I personally don't feel like Lemmy being federated has much of an impact on my user experience day to day.

Oh I love tofu. Fried, with a bit of teriyaki sauce. Yummy.

With discord, though, the "server" part is largely hidden from the user or at least transparent - that's the thing. It simplifies the same concept into something more tangible.

AFAIK, you're able to see pretty much everything on your instance, but Beehaw did defederate from your instance, so think you can see their posts, but they can't see yours.

I don't know if I would say itll "go away" with time. More like it will get diluted over time as more people join with varying stances on things.
See I am smarter and better than you so I know this to be the truth.

That's a big reason I liked Lemmy.

Are there endless wars? A lot of people don't like .ml, lemmygrad, and hexbear and they're defederated by a lot of instances, but that's not really a hot war. Outside of that most drama seems to be about certain mod/admin decisions. But that kind of feedback loop is by design. People are supposed to have opinions on whether they think instances are well run and aligns with what they're looking for...and if it doesn't align, that would be a good reason to switch instances. I see more fretting over how to make Lemmy more popular than arguments about instances.
