Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.
What can we do?

I’ve mentioned a list with info of some nature a few times, with people shutting down the idea. It always boiled down to “the instances may lie about what their instance is about”. In their heads what their write may be the truth, even if it isn’t. This would leave it up to a third party to make summaries of these instances, which may or may not be agreed upon. There may be too many drastic and conflicting ideologies.
It would help of Lemmy had a simple migration option like Mastodon. Then, picking an instance wouldn't be a big deal.
