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

What can we do?

    Part of me wants the fediverse to take over because the world needs open systems and not corporate outlets for ads and propaganda.

    But this place is really fun how it is and I want to be selfish and keep the precious all for ourselves.

    I think we have a lot of wiggle room between the two, fortunately. If we get 10x the users with the barriers to entry doing the same filtering as now, this place could really be hopping. But if we get 1000x the users and start doing Reddit numbers, who knows what it will be like.

    Knowing humans, maybe there’s a critical mass at which Lemmy would fracture into multiple fediverse islands. But each could still be vastly larger than all of Lemmy right now.
