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

  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.
