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

...and the fediverse doesn't need to dominate all social media. Period.
You'll never be able to migrate the IG influencer whose affiliate marketing business relies on the algorithm, or the Titkok million views dude who makes money off their views and lives. So I really don't understand this argument of "Oh we're alienating mass users".
Just like there's non-profit orgs vs businesses, open source software vs commerical ones, there also fediverse vs commercial social media. I prefer it here, and to each their own.
