Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.
What can we do?
If they find Lemmy “too hard to understand”, do we really want them here?
Gatekeeping at its finest.
I for one would welcome anybody here who wants to come. Rather them than more people with your mindset.
Both can be true. We can welcome everybody who wants to come, and also realize that having 100 million complete noobs suddenly join wouldn’t necessarily be the best outcome either.
Show people the way and if they indicate that it’s too much effort to do a bit of research for 10-20 minutes, understand that it’s not exactly a huge loss for them to not join.
I do. Anything is better than the sites they are on currently. More different opinions can help a place grow.
