Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.

What can we do?

I disagree. I'm an ex tech guy, and I found it to be a pain in the ass. I really appreciate everything that everyone here does, but it's empty enough that I recognize a number of users. The average person isn't signing up. At 50k active users, our voice is small.

I don't know what the grand vision is, but if it's to provide the people with a corporate free perform, there needs to be... The People.

That's how you create a bubble of only tech savvy people.

This seems to be quite a problem here, too many techy people and too few people with other interests, sure I'm in the first group myself but even then this is still a problem
