Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.
What can we do?
I spent way too much time trying to understand why I wasn't taken to the comments when I hit the comment icon...
... in the screenshot
So they want to replace a social media site ran by rich fucks with a social media site run by rich fucks?
Who volunteers to fix it?
we can redesign the on onboarding process.
🛑 stop explaining new terms 🛑 fuck infinite list of random names with anime girls (what do you want me to do,read!?)
Make it like a map and turn instances into buildings (or gardens/circle/doesnt matter). Show some stats like how big, who i can talk to, topic. Gamify the experience so the fatigue turns into curiousity.
Ah Lemmy. Still full of comments from smug assholes pretending their lack of sonder is the good kind, and if they don't understand something it's cause it's worthless and pointless while their knowledge is the most important.
Yeah, there are other reasons than the UX/UI and the screenshot even shows it.
