Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy

I think people who claim that the UI/UX is fine are missing the point. It is fine to you, but it is not fine to whomever made the claim. And for every person that makes such claim, there are hundreds/thousands who think/feel the same but don’t say anything.
Lemmy, as a community and as a project, should seriously listen more to the opinion of newcomers.

Exactly.
UX is like a Joke, if you need to explain it to someone it’s bad UX

Unexplained choices are extremely frustrating and cause confusion. It would be awesome if people could magically choose the right instance for themselves without being aware that they are making a choice, but that just isn’t realistic.

I think we should have a Lemmy landing page, that should help you choose a instance.
Ask you to select a few topics you’re interested in, if you want to see political content and/or NSFW content.
And then make a suggestion (randomly from one of a few fitting instances)
Once a user gets used to the platform they can always switch

Easily switching is the real hurdle, because there are a massive number of reasons that someone would want to switch. For example I started on kbin and switched when the instance died.
